I think everything is on manual review now so all is good regarding this issue - i got one (non subdomain) through a couple hours ago hosted on their dns servers which highly i recommend, throw Josh a donation if you like it

Yes they are subdomains from afraid.org, but they are real proxies from what I see. Aren't they? I think a subdomain proxy is much better than a tld scammer, am I right?

suse.co.ve has also nameservers pointed to afraid.org ( inux.suse.co.ve ).

aune.se has also nameservers pointed to afraid.org ( gate.aune.se ).

and probably public.120v.ac and school.worldcom.bz , freeproxylist.uk.to , unblock.shop.tm and many others also .

They are resubmitted every year, .info domains are 0.99 $ , anyone can buy them to build a proxy, must be some rules, we can't build proxies only with afraid.org, if allowed many proxy webmasters will want to submit subdomains to avoid paying for real domains and the proxy business will suffer.

The proxy list exists for the site visitors. It's support of the "proxy business" is a secondary consideration.

If your competitors have a better cost model than you, then you might need to rethink your cost model.
