Goive

Goive
Goive is a proxy website used to bypass web filters while at school or work. This site's address is www.goive.co.nr, formerly www.goive.tk.

Goive has a new sister site - www.heebie.co.uk. Heebie is a site in development which willl become a proxy list in the near future. This has the advantage that when a proxy is blocked by the workplace, school or country, it simply finds a new one and embeds it into the Goive page. For that reason, it cannot be categorised as a proxy, and so is unlikely to be blocked or restricted.

History

Goive was started in May 2006 by a Wykehamist. At first it was run with a CGI Proxy, and could only visit certain websites such as Bebo. It then moved on to supporting more sites using a hybrid of CGI and PHP proxies, in early 2007.

Now it is a fully functional web-based proxy, using the Zelune proxy script.

Aims

Goive aims to bring free and liberal web browsing to communities who are behind web blocks, such as employees in offices, schoolchildren and people living in China. It was first set up to be used by the men at Winchester College, but as the word spread, it opened up into many other UK independent schools. Following its successful submission to Google, many more users from around the world have started to use it for its flexibility and speed.

Future

Since 07/09/2007, when Abdullah Arif resigned from the ownership and refuted his name against the PHProxy, Goive decided to take over the responsibility of providing downloads of the script. The downloads and support for the proxy script will be available in the near future, with a release date not yet confirmed.
