Yes I run a web proxy http://www.empaya.com and the uptime of 12 hours is about right. The problem is too many people use proxies to download pirated movies, which puts a great strain on the server. I started the proxy hoping to allow free access to people in countries with restricted access. Imagine how thrilled I was to see 12,000 to 20,000 visitors a day, mostly from China. When I looked closely though, they were using my proxy server to share pornographic material and I've blocked a large range of Chinese IP's. I'm still looking for a way to allow people from China free access, without allowing the site to be abused and if anyone has any ideas I'd be very greatful. Daniel.
