This service seems horrible. It's a botnet basically illegal proxy, but they also ban for using the proxy service for just about anything. I tried to create a few hundred mail accounts or so some NON spam (no link) mailing, and they banned me. Also, they have no support and give no reason for ban. I think they might ban just based on how many proxies you grab - even after paying them about 50 bucks for "unlimited" proxies. There must be a better way than these guys. I really need some good proxy service that doesn't ban. Thanks for any help or ideas, PM or otherwise.
Anyone had problems with VIP72?

stoud,
The "ripoff" unlimited service. I've got a friend who ran into the same trouble with these jerks. I'm beginning to wonder if they just ban for clicking on too many proxies, and because they essentially get paid in cash. They can make a lot of money ripping people off this way. Time to get to the word out on VIP72. If they advertised here, I'd move to put them in the shitlist.

proxygo: really? well I've been searching forever for simply SSL http proxy for account creation and SOME webmailing. That's it, and I don't want to get into it with any of these botnet outfits either. They are really high priced, and scammy. However, it seems something like squid is no good because getting enough ip's is insanely expensive, and then they don't change but once a month. i use public type now too, but that's only partly successful. Very slow and lots of work.

price of a proxy is not important to what botnet does and use
A botnet is a collection of internet-connected computers whose security defenses have been breached and control ceded to a malicious party. Each such compromised device, known as a "bot", is created when a computer is penetrated by software from a malware distribution; otherwise known as malicious software. The controller of a botnet is able to direct the activities of these compromised computers through communication channels formed by standards-based network protocols such as IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).[1]

I'm not 100% certain what the VIP72 proxy service is, but with how they treat and ripoff their customers, they need to be exposed. It's one thing to have "rules", but if you take money and deny service, and won't say why, that's pretty much a scam, and that's pretty much what they do. I've heard rumors that botnet proxy operators do this often, so that's why I was thinking VIP72 is botnet. Plus, when you login, all the hostnames look like ISP customers, so my strong guess is that it is botnet of some sort.

Don't support botnet proxy providers. VIP72 an obvious botnet proxy provider. When you use their client to access their trojaned proxies, how can you tell that after your subscription has ended; it's likely that your computer will be part of their botnet as well, you just don't notice it.
