Last weekend I had some serious problems with my server due to the bandwidth that Super Proxy was transferring. In the month to-date it is transferred 100gb short of three terabytes of data… Yes you have read that right! This is mainly due to unscrupulous webmasters (although it pains me to call them webmasters) link all their images and videos through the proxy in an attempt to make their sites available in blocked countries.
I therefore took the decision to take Super Proxy private and make it a members only server. I have developed a monthly subscription system through PayPal so people can pay a small sum of £2.50 per month for access to the server.
As this is a premium service, it has no adverts and I will limit the number of users on the server to a small number of 100 or so, thus ensuring that the server is ultra-fast and that bandwidth costs are kept down.
It does however mean that the affiliate side of this project is now no-more, all adverts and affiliated links have been removed. However I am considering setting up an affiliate scheme for selling memberships to the server. Not sure at present how to go about this and would gladly take advice from anyone who is prepared to comment however I think this would be a nice challenge.
