Why is TOS important for proxy websites?
Many proxy webmasters doesn’t know the importance of having Terms Of Service (TOS) on their proxy website. But why is TOS important for proxy websites?
On a daily basis your proxy website has many visitors, and let’s face it; it’s not only students who uses proxy websites. Hackers and pedophile may be preforming illegal actions from your proxy website, wich you are responsible for. Worst case scenario: You end up in jail.
Your terms of service (TOS) prevent you from beeing responsible for all illegal actions preformed by your visitors.
There is actually a great free service that you can use if you choose not to write your own TOS. ProxyTOS.com is a pre-written TOS for proxy webmasters. Just copy the text and paste it on your website.

It’s a nice TOS, but what about protections against damages caused by other websites through your proxy?
Don’t get me wrong, it covers most everything except that. I guess with a separate disclaimer, you’d have most legalities covered (I’m not a lawyer though).
By the way, you have a great site here.
