About the Codeen/Planetlab Proxies

[Terry]

If you see these text when you use a proxy to surf, you are using a CoDeeN proxy.

Code:

You are trying to use a node of the CoDeeN CDN Network. Your IP address is not recognized as a valid PlanetLab address,
so your access to CoDeeN does not include all HTTP types...

At the end of the page, you will see:

You will be redirected to the page you have just requested in ten seconds.

Just click that link or wait for 10 seconds to continue to surf the page that you requested.

CoDeeN proxies usually don't support all HTTP types, which means that you can't login forums, download files or surf https sites. Some people say that the CoDeeN proxies are absolutely useless. But I don't think so, at least you can use them to surf most ordinary sites.

Of course, the easiest way is switching to another proxy if you have an enough proxy reserve.

The fastest way to identify a CoDeeN proxy is to remember that most 3128/3127 proxies are CoDeeN proxies.

EPS Professional can correctly test whether a proxy is a CoDeen proxy:

You can sometimes use them to surf, but you cannot transfer data with them ... meaning you cannot upload, download, or post when using them.  Like I said, they are basically useless.

Becouse this proxy are only for legal use
You are use before for bad things and now you are banned

I posted this in another thread - might as well post here as well
since the discussion seems to be split across both

CoDeeN isn't a general-purpose proxy, but other than a few
 addresses being banned, anyone is free to use it. The system
 provides different levels of service depending on whether you're
 part of PlanetLab or not, but there's no charge to access the  
 system.
 
 The "digits" being mentioned in this thread are a fairly standard
 "CAPTCHA" test, and are just used to periodically check whether
 it's a human sending traffic through CoDeeN.
 
 As you've notced, POST, etc., are not available to members of  
 the general public.

[vivek]

The part about the CAPTCHA being offered only to people affiliated
with PlanetLab, or who have paid for CoDeeN, is wrong. Anyone who
uses CoDeeN can answer the CAPTCHA and get the extra bandwidth.
CoDeeN doesn't charge. Your comments suggest otherwise, and
are wrong. I'm just trying to clarify.

[katmando]

^^But you haven't clarified anything.  You are the only person here to say anything about CAPTCHA, and it appears that you are the only one raising the issue of a charge.

The only thing that truly matters about Planetlab/CoDeen proxies is that they have limited (restricted) use value by the general public.

In the forum "Suggestion & Bug Report", in the thread
"Planetlab/CoDeeN proxies", you wrote the following (emphasis added):

That's the point Terry, only people affliated with Planetlab/CoDeen and who have paid for the right would have those digits.

That's the statement about the charge that I'm clarifying.
Nobody has to pay to use CoDeeN. If you meant paying
for PlanetLab, membership is free to universities. Most
PlanetLab users don't pay for it.

As for the CAPTCHA, that's what Terry was referring to at the
start of this thread when he said "Enter the digits or characters required"

He even posted a screen cap.

I wanted to dispel any suggestion that CoDeeN charges.
Does that clarify things now?

Thanks for the infos, terry!

If u can use something for a reason its not useless.

[training4life]

Question! Is there a proxy that could login in accounts?

[carlo]

katmando u are right but no need to be a dick about it. also a good note if u want to filter out codeens put port 3127 and 3124 in port filter for charon. those r all codeen/planet lab proxys

[bluedragon]

OK. Is there any other KINDS of proxies that DO allow you to sign up/sign in and is there anyway to specifically filter these ones out for use?

thank you

[katmando]

Yes, of course, to both of your questions.  Do some more reading on the subect of proxy servers (HTTP and Socks).

There are many ways to filter out Planetlab/CoDeeN proxies.  You can do so within the best piece of proxy analyzing software (Charon ... it's free) or within most any commercial proxy analyzing software:  AATools, Helllabs Proxy Checker and a few others.  Proxyfire (both free and pro versions) can do it, but their proxy checking module is flawed as it reports many transparent proxies as anonymous.  So does, by the way, Bleach, the proxy analyzing module for both programs being pimped on this site (FPL and EPS).  Only the professional versions of these programs allow you to exclude Planetlab/CoDeeN proxies.  The free versions do not, but all are flawed as described above.

In all cases YOU, the user, will need to maintain your list of Planetlab/CoDeen proxy Address in order to effective exclude them all.  Or, you can load your list at the following site and tick the appropriate box in order to filter them from your lists.

Code:

Please understand that the above site is not an online checker, it is simply a proxy list formatter.

And yes, isn't it annoying that this site does not have an edit function.
