Why can't I find a proxy supplier on port 80 or 443?

This is just for personal use. I've used 3 different suppliers and none of them can supply me with a port 80 or 443 proxy.

When searching for public proxies there are mountains of them on these ports but are obviously slow and unreliable. The network here blocks the majority of ports (including VPN) but I can bypass everything with a proxy running on either of these ports using something like Proxifier.

Why is it so difficult to find a private proxy on these ports? Anyone know where to obtain one?

Here? Is that Scotland? I'd be surprised if residential connections are port blocking there?

If you can SSH, a linode ($20 / mo) in one of multiple western countries can be easily used as a VPN.

That's a point.. just tried a free shell account - I can connect to the server but using it as a proxy doesn't work. Perhaps they've disabled browsing. Will probably just try a VPS if it comes to it.

Yes, Scotland but not a residential network. Anyone know why private proxy providers don't offer on these ports?

google "ssh socks proxy", free shell account probably won't work.
