Frequently Asked Questions

By default, we do not allow public HTTP (web) or IRC proxies because such proxies will be abused by spammers within minutes of discovery. It just saves time to say "no" up front rather than wait and shut it down later after there's a problem.

If you need to set up a private web proxy for your personal use that is appropriately access-limited, that is typically no problem as long as your use of it is legitimate.
