| | Open Proxies - HTTP Proxy Database [About] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | In particular, the two main goals of the OpenProxies.com proxy database are to actually verify that the hosts we list are open proxies, not just that they're listening on a proxy port; and to continually check the status of the proxies, and remove closed or unresponsive hosts from the list. |
 | | The primary argument against open proxies is that their owners may not have intended for them to be used by the public. |
 | | The actual list of proxies is stored in a MySQL database, which keeps track of each proxy's IP address, port number, status (open, closed, unknown, or fllisted), anonymity, and latency. |
