all the network
admins will see is a bunch of jibberish in the record
of what URLs were accessed. phpProxy obfuscates
the URL, so the precise location of where you went
cannot be determined by your network admins.

They don't need to see the data, only where the connection is too, and
that's enough to tell that you're not doing something accepted by
company policy.

So, again, on a properly secured network it would not work no matter how
many proxy sites you have, and one less secure networks it would stand
out like a sore thumb.

Well, there are literally thousands of such public php-based proxy
sites on the Net. That is why 8e6 is developing its appliance to keep
up with the rising tide of these proxies. This appliance, running
anywhere from $2,500 all the way up to $15,000, depending on
how many users you intend to licence it for, is the ONLY firewall
of its kind, and is the ONLY appliance ever MADE that can stem
the rising tide of phpProxy sites on the net. There are SO many of
them, that companies that do NOT use the rather pricey firewall
appliance will be forever playing "whack a mole", as more and
more web-based proxies come on line. Sure, you can block
them when you find out about them, but without this expensive
appliance, the phpProxy operators will have the upper hand.

I got a sudden surge in traffic from several phoProxy sites around
10AM Easern time this morning, and it is still going strong.
Being that its the workday back home in Australia, I would
bet that a lot of workplaces in Australia are tuned in. When
the come through a phpProxy site, my web-access records
and the Live 365 geostats will only show the address of the
proxy. My morning show, aimed at Australian listeners,
Wake Up Australia!! often gets a few hits from workplaces
in Australia. I do think that people are finally figuring how to
access Live 365 stations through phpProxy installations
and be able to listen from work.

One problem with phpProxy is that if my station reaches the
limit of free listeners, which it did several times today, then
they cannot get on. If you have to log in as a VIP listener,
than phpProxy will not work, as most phpProxy
installations will block the cookies that need to be sent
in order to log on to Live 365 with your username and
password. The package I use allows a limit of 50 free
listeners. Between the listeners coming from this one
financial firm, which does not block Live 365 VIP
listening, there were 10 free listeners and 3 VIP
listeners around 11:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time,
coming from the network of this major financial services
firm.

I was hitting the maxium free listner limit several times
between 11AM and 3PM Eastern Daylight Time,
and I usually only hit that when I am doing talk or
sports programming. So my music programme is
apparently becoming a hit in a number of workplaces
all over the world.
