I think it's a little cluttered on the bottom, and you might want to make the URL form a little more prominent (larger idk)
<echo>Glad to see it's back up.</echo>
To be honest it looks fine. The only thing I suggest is maybe just add more free domain names to it. It would be cool if you could make it where it doesnt' leave history on the computer.
It looks good. And I love it, I use it every Tuesday and Thursday when I get online at school.
Great job though.
I really agree that you did a good job on your site. It would be awesome if your site didn't leave anything in the browser history, though.

All it leaves is the fact that you visited poxyproxy thats it...... I think

Tell everyone that I am back online!!!!
Nice Job, even for having the black background/ white text etc.

Ever wonder why no one goes with like a dark grey background with smoke white text?
maybe someday when I get around to it I'll make that a choice on my web site ala CSS Zen Garden. Maybe it will catch on as the next big design craze. I'm a little tired of seeing black and white with blue banners and accents just about everywhere I go.
Nice job BillyBob (I like that screen name but then I'm from The South), next time I'm on a web terrorism mission I'll be sure to add your site to the list of proxys I use to make my IP untracable.
(that's a joke son, A JOKE)
Didnt mean that was better, I meant that I like a light background with dark text better, doesnt hurt so much on the eyes.
But what the heck, we're young, lets go black&white

lol ...
and thanks for the nice comments, we have a mixed opion for the colours but what about the layout???
My comment...cool...its a useful site, and you've made sure that all the important tools and documents are very easy to acces...
I do think the visual side of thing *could* be improved though...the way it is now with no "smoothness" i know many people (noobs?) will be "scared" when they enter the site of stuff like viruses and adware - they are likely to hit the back button straight away if they get scared!
Your only graphic seems to be the "logo" header thing...i personally think including a couple of gradients here and there could do wonders for the appearance of your site - and the good thing about gradient is their filesize is minimal!
The page looks ok though...dont get me wrong - i think you've done a good job.

Parental. And yeah, the site has a very AstalaVista feel to it. Sure you want a little of that Haxxor vibe, but I would try to make it look a little more legitimate. On the other hand, if they are at school, they arent realy likely to care less about the safety of the computer they are using.
And sweet, a proxy site. I've been looking for one of those.
Thanks for the comments i shall try make it abit more noob freindly over the weekend!

I think you should <"center"> the whole page so everything is in the middle rather than down the left-hand side.
Just a thought ...

I think thats pretty much up to you - its not really that bad a banner - allthough if the text was a bit cleaner it might be more easy on the eye...
JUst noticed the banner filesize btw...i think this can be compressed to half this size without any visible loss of quality...
