Hi Toussaint,
I will explain things here on the list as there may be other people wondering about
this...
Good explanation :)
Each proxy server can be used only by a single user at
a time, and it requires its own static
IP address on the internet, without NAT. So you can usually cut some space out of a
44.190
allocation (or just any allocation) and run several proxy servers. We run 230 proxy
servers
on 44.137.75.x, and several other networks already offer proxy servers in the 44.190
space.
See http://echolink.org/proxylist.jsp for a list of currently active proxies and their
busy status.
A proxy server, when configured and running, automatically registers itself in that list.
I run 150-200 proxies in the 44.190 address space myself. There's
several private proxies, dedicated to individual users, and many public
proxies for general use. I haven't run relay servers yet, but that's
next on my list of things to do for the Echolink network. I wanted to
be sure my geolocation was accurate, which took a while to filter
through (even after I informed the various providers). Your software is
great, though sometimes, individual proxies seem to die for no apparent
reason (even after waiting for any dropped connection to time out).
