I tried https://fluxcards.de/home from Iran and got an error page. You should at least communicate if that error page is you not finding a proxy in Iran (as I guess from looking at the list of "available" proxies that are all offline) or if that is indeed a blocking of my site for Iranian users.

My developer is in Iran and he would have told me if our project was blocked. Also I know that Iran shows some funny Qur'an quotes when you try to surf ol dirty facebook but your service claims something which I think it doesn't hold at least for Iran.

Ok... so - this is a web proxy service. Am I missing something here or is this all there is to it?

It is indeed a web proxy service with country selection - something that is not addressed by other web proxies AFAIK. Also, web proxies aren't as trivial as you are implying.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that web proxies are trivial, simply that this is nothing new - there are hundreds of proxy sites from all over the world on http://proxy.org/cgi_proxies.shtml. Still, if you made this, good job!
