The clickable links below are CGI proxies; the rest are real ones (configure into your browser - note you MUST disable the automatic proxy configuration).
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.
I've moved the port open/blocked lists to another page.
In the following 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!).
Here's a list of DNS lookups for the UAE (where the DNS system is broken by their IP address blocking):
- Name: www.magusnet.com; Addresses: 216.186.212.210, 216.186.212.211, 216.186.212.212, 216.186.212.213
- Name: www.noproxy.com; Address: 64.240.134.16
- 00/7/14
- here is a good proxy search for you.
- 00/7/2
- ns.escorts.co.jp:8000 #working
- ns2.clearstation.com:9000 #working
- 00/6/28
- snoopy.bndlg.de:8000 # working; 00/7/2 working
- 00/6/20
- Most of the port 8000 proxies are dead or censoring now. Only the two
I've marked below (00/5/23) are worth using, so I've trimmed the list back.
- 00/6/14 (from a list at http://proxy.nikto.net/all_list.htm)
- ls-andromeda.mmedia.is:81
- shoemaker.mmedia.is:81
- note these are on a port which may (often) be blocked for UAE users. I would appreciate some feedback on these.
- 00/5/25 (some from MVlad and Craig)
- cornpops.cx:5050 #working
- lys.eurecom.fr:18080 #working
- ns-internal.clearstation.com:9000 #working; 00/5/28 not listening
- proxy-01.evesta.com:7854 #listening, but times out
- proxy1.interpacket.net:21 #working; note: this port is most unlikely to get blocked!
- lys.eurecom.fr:18080 #working
- 00/5/23
It seems port 8000 has recently been opened for those in the UAE. Run, do not walk, to your nearest list of standard port public proxies and select the fastest ones you can find on port 8000.
From MVlads search page I got the following list, and there are plenty more:
- term-1.spb.sitek.net:8000 #00/6/20 still working; 00/7/2 working
- sp-5.sto.telegate.se:8000 #00/6/20 still working
- 00/4/20
- http://proxy-mail.mailcity.lycos.com/bin/redirector.cgi?http://www.yourURL.com/ will get you to www.yourURL.com, but no links on the resulting page will go via the proxy. You'd have to do that manually, unless you have the Alstone proxy installed.
- 00/4/14
- edinburgh-88.edinburgh.k12.in.us:8801 # bess censored
- 00/4/5
- Vlad's lists seem to be now useless for UAE proxies, KSA ok. Updated a few reports on proxies below; no new proxies, but the ones below still work ok (guetali.fr, in particular).
- 00/3/21
- went through Vlad's list of 'uncommon port proxies for UAE and KSA peoples', and found all of them to be unusable, dead, censored, or already known for some time except for the following one.
- datacentre.chass.utoronto.ca:5680 #weird - it doesn't get the page you request.
- 00/3/20
- lyracom has been mentioned as useful in the UAE. I haven't tried it, but it uses port 5190, so it probably works. A client download is required. Payment is required.
- ns1.guetali.fr:880 is another name for dns.guetali.fr. Thanks Louis.
- 00/2/17
- nntpbot will give you a list of open Usenet News servers. Port forward to them with ssh, or point your redirector to them.
- exonet is a cgi proxy
- 00/2/10 (thanks Vlad)
- dns.guetali.fr:880 #working (note: recently unblocked port for the UAE)
- proxy.guetali.fr:880 #working
- mx-old.guetali.fr:880 #working; 00/5/25 still working
- marblebox is another noproxy name (not working in the UAE, of course). Thanks J.
- 00/2/4
- invest.nnov.city.ru:9000 #working
- cache.belbone.net:1234 #working; 00/4/5 ip blocked; 00/4/28 unreachable

- 00/1/28
purplestar is another noproxy name (thanks again, J). Again, www1,www2, ... www11 will work. Also, as usual, *.purplestar.org will work, no matter what * is. See the hylafax note below for the details about this.
- 00/1/26

- cloak is yet another name for noproxy. They won't keep up with these guys! Cloak1,2,3,4, 5... can also be used if any of them get censored. Thanks John.
- I've just noticed that the noproxy guys have managed to make any URL that looks like <any string>.hylafax.com or <any string>.noproxy.com resolve to their noproxy.com. A nice piece of DNS work. The UAE has already managed to get their string regex censoring to work on all the *.noproxy.com URLs, but not yet on the hylafax ones. The noproxy people are really pushing the censors; unfortunately this might push them into blocking by destination IP address (since they mostly resolve to the same address).
- 99/11/10
- 99/11/6
- 99/11/2
- noproxy #cgi - just another name to use
- 99/10/31
- or http://proxy.spaceproxy.com:8080/http://www.l0pht.com/ #will get you to l0pht.com, substitute your favorite site as required. Many of the others below work this way too. Don't bother to try the autoconfigure mentioned on their web site though, you can't get to port 8080 directly - it's blocked.
- http://www.rewebber.de/ offers a new anti-censorship service. IE5 thinks the certificate is no good and doesn't display the gold lock to indicate you are secure, but with a network sniffer it appears to be encrypted. It will cost you about $US17 per month, but maybe it's worth it to bypass all the stupid censorship (web only, I think). I would recommend something like this if you don't mind spending the money. All your accesses will be encrypted and, if their address gets censored, they guarantee to provide a new address within 3 working days. The address given above is already censored by the UAE, but don't let that stop you - just use one of the working proxies below (ompages still works and probably allows the secure stuff) to get there and look around, and maybe subscribe. If you can't find one which works and you want to subscribe, email me and I'll see if I can do it for you - if you trust me with your credit card etc. ;-). I don't know what they need until I try it, so I can't promise anything.
