DNS lookups

Here's a list of DNS lookups (for those in the UAE, where the DNS system is often broken by their IP address blocking):

How to read the proxy list below

The clickable links below are CGI proxies; the rest are real ones (configure into your browser - note you MUST disable the automatic proxy configuration). The noproxy CGIs will fail in the UAE always. Some of the others will work, but censor you anyway because the UAE catches naughty words in your URL. Just change a character in the naughty word to uppercase and you will get through.

If you end up trying more than a page or so down this list - it's time to give up and figure out what you're doing wrong.

Recent entries have the format as produced by findProxyNew.pl: IP address:port, reference time, fully qualified domain name. The reference time is the time taken to download a reference web page (not a good speed estimate because of caching, traffic variations etc., but the best I can do).

I've moved the port open/blocked lists to another page.

Also see proxy capabilities for some info on other things the proxies below can be used for.

In the proxy list, these definitions are used:

working
listening, accessible, not access controlled, not censored ... usable
not listening
the server or service is simply not listening for requests at the time the test was made. It's probably permanently dead, but keep trying over the next month or so.
accessible
the port it's listening on is directly accessible (unblocked).
censored
the proxy will (like the UAE proxies) censor your accesses. I've also used this term to cover the URL pages which are blocked by the UAE censors.
anonymizer
a page you can access which will then make your request for you without passing your origin info on.
CGI
you access the page normally (click on the link), fill in the your web request details and the form refers your access request to a CGI application which makes the request and returns the requested page to you. Most of these rewrite the links on the returned page so you can then just click to get to them.
real proxy
the type you need to configure your browser to use. These are the ones below without the 'http://' stuff - the unclickable ones.
acp
anti-censoring proxy; like a CGI proxy
access controlled
only certain domains/IP addresses are permitted to originate requests (i.e. not you!).

Proxies start here

A reasonably current snapshot of the working proxies (found using findProxy.pl, so there are no dupes) from the whole list below is now here. So, look at that first and note the date, then return here and look at the proxies which have been added at a later date. That way, you should only miss the occasional good one which wasn't working at the time of the snapshot. I'll remove the older ones from below after I've rechecked them a few times.

For those using shell accounts (or other methods using external proxies), I've checked the whole list from cybatron with findProxy.pl and put the result here. You can use that to pick a fast (measured from the USA), non-censoring, non-access-controlled, working proxy for use with a redirector. Some of them are so fast, the reference download time is 0 seconds. These are not directly accessible from the KSA, UAE...

00/12/14
00/11/30 new findProxy results
00/11/23 new findProxy results (there's a dup or two here, but they're current at least)
00/11/7 Almost all of the noproxy aliases marked as 'not for the UAE' below, will now work for the UAE. The address blocking has gone. The DNS lookups work again!
00/11/2
00/10/10 this was posted to a mailing list, so I guess it's for public use (not UAE though)
00/10/6 findProxyNew tests on more web page lists (some of the times though were so long I won't even report these proxies). I won't be considering times over 60 seconds as useful in future - just did this as a test
00/10/5 findProxyNew.pl testing (set for the UAE) yielded these (host,port,time,fqdn). I also ran it against this whole list, and put the results here. So don't bother looking below this point - look there instead.
00/9/28
00/9/23 some CGI proxies (sent by 'devil', let me know if they're useless) and a couple from the noproxy email list. Note the UAE catches any naughty words in the URL sent, so a couple of these work but still censor. Make sure you change one of the letters in the URL you need to uppercase, and it will get through. uksearcher works.
00/9/22 - version 1.1 of findProxy.pl found the following from MVlad's database (the last column is the findProxy reference time). I haven't had time to check for dupes.
00/9/22 Aseef posted some from Craig and MVlad (I haven't tested them):
00/9/22 Mustafa sent this one (good for KSA?)
00/8/31 - from MVlad (findProxy ref times in brackets, the lower values are faster)
00/8/3 - some scans done by Craig
00/8/1
00/7/28
00/7/27 - some results from MVlad (found while updating and testing my 'findProxy.pl')
