your professed knowledge about this subject which appears to be very limited
It may be more than it first appears...

AD (AccessDiver) should never be used to test proxies
The reason I use AD from time to time is because of the two step testing.
I only do the first test, the check for valid proxies, skipping the anonymity test.
(I seem recall an early version of Charon also used to allow this. Perhaps 0.3?)
That's because I "utilize" these proxies over public wifi, so that provides the required anonymity. Adding non-anonymous proxies to the mix seems to greatly expand the pool of available proxies. Do you see anything technically wrong with this?

In our Proxy Tools section I keep an updated Planetlab/CoDeen Exclusion List
Yes, I saw this. Along with the your recently added "More proxies to exclude" thread.
Many thanks.
But will you be providing this service forever?

Those three reference sources you mentioned are either mine or those I basically took over.
Of course. I read them all. (Some food fight with Xploitz.)
And that's the primary reason I posted here. You appear to be the guru in this field.

do more reading about what Charon can do, because you make it much more limiting than it really is

Your questions regarding cracking/hacking porn sites and the like go way beyond the scope of this site
Can Charon filter based on keywords?
That was the point I was awkwardly trying to make.
Let's say I do IP range and port filtering using Charon with your lists.
What about the other "nasties"? Are there IP exclusion lists for DansGuardian, SurfControl, NetSweeper, Barracuda, etc.? (there's one that always redirects to the New York Times. Just hate constantly seeing that.)

Or should we think about doing keyword based filtering?
Or should we only be concerned about whether a given proxy allows access to a given site?
