Contribution guidelines

Working Proxy Sites is a sourced directory of proxy providers and tools. Readers can send corrections and recommend providers in the directory listings; comments are open where a discussion already exists. These guidelines keep those contributions useful and honest.

1. Write from first-hand use

Comments about a provider should come from your own use. Say what you used the proxies for, roughly how much traffic, and what went well or badly. Specifics (success rates, ban rates, support response times, billing surprises) are worth more than star ratings.

2. No shilling or undisclosed promotion

If you work for, resell, or are paid by a provider, say so in your comment. Undisclosed promotion, sock-puppet accounts, and coordinated voting will be removed and the connection banned. Negative campaigns against competitors count too.

3. No spam, no links for the sake of links

Comments containing links, email addresses or messenger handles are held for moderator review. Referral links, coupon spam and "DM me for cheap proxies" comments are removed.

4. Keep it legal

Don't ask for or offer help with fraud, account takeover, carding, credential stuffing, evading law enforcement, or attacking systems you don't own. Discussing legitimate uses — scraping public data, ad verification, QA and geo-testing, privacy — is welcome.

5. Be civil

No harassment, hate speech, doxxing or personal attacks. Criticize providers, not people.

6. Voting

One vote per connection per provider. Voting through rotating proxies to inflate or bury a provider is manipulation — we monitor for it and reset scores when we find it.

Moderation

Anyone can report a comment with the Report link. Moderators may hide, edit out links from, or remove comments that break these guidelines, and may ban connections that repeatedly do. Questions about moderation go to the contact address.

Names

No account is needed and you may enter any name. To sign your comments consistently, add #yoursecret after the name (for example alex#correct-horse): the site shows a short code derived from the secret, never the secret itself. Keep the secret private. Names that impersonate staff are not allowed.
