The company I work for (FoxyProxy) provides them with many servers — for their web crawlers (“the human web”) for their vpn app (called Lumen), and other projects.

We would be happy to provide them free of charge for several months, if that would help.

That is nice to hear. When we had issues with the Human Web Proxies - and that did not happen often - you were always quick in helping out. Thanks for the great support through the years!

There's probably a better place for this proposal than a HN comment?

So you're definitely right, but one of the reasons I view HN as one of the most valuable places on the internet I frequent is that it's very likely that someone from Clickz will see the comment, and I've done my part to upvote it to the top. I also think it's safe to assume that this is not the only place they'll reach out.

Maybe it's a bit of self-promotion for the hosting company but I sure don't mind if they're willing to support the Cliqz effort.

Thank you. The offer was sent simultaneously through other channels.

shrug this is the best channel into many companies who don't post good contact details. It's the best channel for Google or Apple appeals, for example.
