Technology Reports

A few days ago on a webmaster forum I read with interest that some people are doing quite well from running Proxy’s.

Some of the results seemed too good to be true, but as I had no evidince either way I decided to set up a proxy and try it for myself and see how it all goes.  So, after reading a bit I discovered that there are a couple of different proxy scripts.  There is a CGI based script and there is a PHP based one.

They both have their individual strengths and weaknesses, the CGI one uses less bandwidth and more CPU, whereas the PHP one uses much less CPU and higher bandwidth.  As I am just starting out, and I have a reasonable amount of bandwidth available I have decided to start by using a PHP one.

So, over the next day or so, I will install a script and give it a custom skin and then start promoting it.  I’ll do my best to post every few days as to how it is going.
