Tech-Faq ban afraid.org free sub-domain based proxies?

Hello, but don't know why. I think subdomain proxies are proxy too.

We were just getting too much spam from afraid.org, so we had to ban them.

OK I see, but for famous co.cc or similar free sub-domain services, I cann't submit those sub-domain based proxies due to *.co.cc can only be submit once. Just don't want to buy too much domains for my proxy networks. So... LOL

I understand completely. Unfortunately, I don't yet have a better way to block these goons.

Eventually it appears that the proxy list will have to incorporate member accounts with usernames and passwords.

Either that or we will have to charge a submission fee to discourage spammers.

That will be a pain in the ass mate

Better sell featured links than... you can get 100$ per month per link... so

I kinda like the user idea.. only verified users can submit sites... but that will probably give you much work to check all unverified submissions...

I saw they are accepted again, example this site : http://proxylist.chickenkiller.com/ , which is not a proxy.

That is very odd. I do not remember unblacklisting the afraid.org nameservers, but I checked the nameserver blacklist and they were not there.

So... I re-added the afraid.org nameservers to the nameserver blacklist.

Didn't solved the problem because afraid.org subdomains are there, one parked, another spamming :

http://goldproxylist.ignorelist.com

http://proxylist.crabdance.com

Yep. The RegEx underneath the whole banning system is broken. I've escalated this to development.

Hope to be solved soon because the subdomains still there using domains from afraid.org :

dmesg.us - ( bypass.dmesg.us ).

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 .
