Talk:Proxy list

message: All proxies are blocked by TrendMicro software. There is no point to provide public proxy lists, when companies make money by providing blockers to other companies and governments. And hidden lists cannot be used by the public.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.235.142 (talk) 21:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm a user of internet proxies, a software engineer somehow concerned about internet privacy and really committed to sharing knowledge, open source and all this philosophy. I'm new to wikipedia as possible contributor/editor, I'm user of it since the beginnings. I usually visit a website when I need a proxy IP address that I found it through Google but today when I was going to search for it, it doesn't appear in the results, I find the Proxy_list wikipedia article but it's not there neither, then I followed the link to DMOZ and after a while, I find the site that I want! It's a quality site, fast, plain and simple, with a proxy list updated hourly and no advertisers or any spammy content. I think that is going to be an important contribution to the wikipedia Proxy_list article, because that website has exactly that on the homepage, a live HTTP proxy list with working servers and also some explanations and other sorted proxy lists.
I read the Wikipedia guidelines and I think that the link that I want to add is under WP:ELYES, point 3. I can't integrate a proxy list directly to the wikipedia because that IP addresses are not going to work over time and is not going to help to know what is a proxy list. According to the guideline is because the amount of detail and more important, other reason, it's a dynamic list.
Regarding the DMOZ link, there are several sites there but a lot of them doesn’t help too much to understand what is a proxy list, moreover several of them have IP addresses that doesn't work and that is counterproductive too. On the other hand, the link that I want to add has exactly a proxy list, with details like country, type and a couple of speed measurements that also contributes on the proxy list subject. An important point is that it has only that(a proxy list), plus some words and explanations about it. Most of the other websites have a lot of things, like VPNs, web proxies(no lists), TOR networks, etc. That other websites and things could be useful for other purposes but not to understand what is a proxy list.
I think that is going to ba a good contribution, it's a stablished website, listed on DMOZ and with a live working example of what is exactly a Proxy List. For me is the best resource when I'm needing a working proxy list.
So, my question is, do you think that is going to be a good contribution?

replies: text: I removed it again, since it is duplicitive of the dmoz link and also was attempting to sell VPN subscriptions and/or subscriptions to a 'better' proxy list (ELNO #5). Also, are you associated with this site in any way? - MrOllie (talk) 18:36, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Ok, but why is the support email for the plugin associated with the proxy list site? - MrOllie (talk) 19:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Flossmanuals are free ebooks produced by the open source community. That site doesn't 'only sell a book', it allows you to download it for free. I think it's pretty clear at this point that you have a connection with the site that you're adding, please do not add it again. Repeated additions may result in a block for your account or even the addition of the link to Wikipedia's spam blacklist, and I'm sure no one wants that to happen. - MrOllie (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure I follow your argument. The flossmanuals link describes proxies, how to use them, and includes information about proxy lists. It seems to be like it has a great deal to do with proxy lists. - MrOllie (talk) 14:19, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

text: There is no particular reason that this article topic should exclude web proxies. I have clarified the article text accordingly. - MrOllie (talk) 16:01, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
