A Little Idea
 

All of us on NTL have the demon proxy servers to deal with !!

I wonder if someone like I-web would consider having one and all of us splitting the cost via paypal or something...

Not sure if it would put to much strain in I-webs pipes !! ??

What do you think ?

Re: A Little Idea
 

how many boxes would be required? and would they need to be UK based? or would US be ok?

Were also looking at some french boxes at the moment, but theyre capped at 3mbps output... would this be sufficient?

Not knowing my arse from my elbow on how to setup, confiure, run a proxy server..... i dunno where i-web would stand, but ill look into it a bit more......

I note you've removed the "Happy X NTL Customer" from you signature :D :D

Re: A Little Idea
 

Yep.... NTL connection goes off at the end of the month... Cant wait for the pipex 2mb to go online :D

WooHoo :)

Re: A Little Idea
 

I would do just about anything ;) to have a reliable service but how exactly does paypal work, answers on a post card or pm or msn will do to keep the thread clean :D

Re: A Little Idea
 

Cool.... I think that UK based would be better... It does not have to be a cache'ing proxy just a pass through...

Needs a good fast pipe both in and out...

Thanks KP.... If you could get us some prices we could have a think about it :)

French?!!!! Hell no, its wrong. You just can't!!!!

3 milli bits per second? Pedantic I know but its 3Mb/s.

But no, its french!!!!!

:D

KP Any luck on some prices for this m8 or any further input ?

I think it would be a good idea !

Re: A Little Idea
 

Yea we are looking at various opptions for this now we assume that a server in the UK would be the best.

We do have the software to create a proxy server and as for pricing etc we would need a real commitment from those wishing this and with enough people subscribing to it the price would be kept at a minimum.

I would also assume that only those members that did actually pay would have the proxy address.

Re: A Little Idea
 

Yep - A nice fast U.K. servers would be the way to go. The IP and proxy port would only be given to those who pay the fee.

I will start a poll later to gauge interest but for examples sake can you give us an idea of cost if say 100 users payed up...

Cheers.

We dont know... thats really the problem, if it pushed 500GB (or less) bandwidth a month, 100 people would be looking at £2-£3 a month each... so £25 a year roughly, and if it pushed 1000GB bandwidth would be talking double that..... respectively......

Ive e-mailed a few people to find out the traffic resources, but havent had a response yet, i am currently in communications with a UK Dedicated box hosting company, that have servers in telelhouse london docklands....... im sure thatd be ideal for this sort of thing.....

So theres an idea for ya, and as soon as i have more info.... illl let you have it :D

Re: A Little Idea
 

Nice one kp... I will start a poll to gauge interest. If its only a couple of quid a month I am sure loads of peeps will go for it. A nice stable fast proxy would be cool :D

Thanks for every thing so far m8 - you are a star :)
