Your security meaures will become USELESS
against this new service, becuase proxy detectors will not likely have
these proxies in their filtering lists, as only subscribing members to
access them.

All it takes is for one admin to subscribe and use the service
to figure it all out and then disclose (anonymously, of course)
the information for other admins to use. Not like it hasn't
happened before.

However, these for-pay proxy services run differently than you average
open proxy or anonymizer. Insted of putting a list on the web, and
requiring you to change settings on your browser, you run a piece of
client software, and then select the paremeters, such as appearing to
be from a certain country, and then it launches IE (or just about any
other program) under the anonymizing service. It randomly selects a
proxy, based on your criteria, and then connects you through that
proxy. The service I use is very user-friendly. This makes it far more
difficult ot bllacklist EVERY proxy on the system. By using the
service I use (run out of Bajamar, Mexico), you would have your
network admins playing "whack a mole", trying to block you.

The ability to specifiy by country is very handy, allowing be to
listen to Pandora, from outside the United States. I simply tell the
client software to connect me to a proxy in the United States, and
then I hit Pandora's site, and I can listen. I do the same thing for
Capital Radio in London (restricted to British listeners), I just tell
the client program to find me proxies on the network in the United
Kingdom, and, within moments, I am listening to Capital FM in London,
circumventing the geographical restrictions. Neither Capital FM. I
also do this to listen to Clear Channel stations, when outside the
U.S., which have also been restricted to U.S. listeners.
