Its extremely saturated, unless you have a good marketing campaign. Just search google for proxy, or web proxy. Millions of competitors just waiting for you. Also, adsense and most networks don’t take proxy sites, and that’s because they have no content.

It is highly in demand because it is the most practical way for online surfers to bypass firewalls so that they can surf and visit their favorite sites like social networking sites and adult entertainment sites which are often blocked by ISPs and administrators.

Proxy sites come and go. It is popular because it is one of the easiest way for users to get around firewalls. For proxy sites owners, running a proxy site can be a source of revenue even without coming up with a good content. Aside from a good promotional campaign, a profitable proxy site business requires a good web host provider since this is resource intensive.

The headache in running a proxy site lies on the server administration because this kind of site requires heavy server resources. That is why it is recommended to run a proxy site at least under a VPS. If you can find a reliable proxy site service provider, that will ease the administration because you can focus on the promotional aspect.

It's a huge demand because a lot of businesses block certain sites so people look for a way to bypass that.
A lot of proxies go down for a bit because of the bandwidth so people need alternative proxies.
While people are using these, they click the ads because they're easy to blend and have a lot of relevant ads.

As of now the proxy buisness is overwhelming. They are so many proxies and they are still more users growing by the day. If anyone is looking to get into the proxy buisness. I have a few tips. If you are looking for high traffic, buy a proxy that is already established as it will be a lot easier than making one from scratch and establishing it especially when they're so many proxies these days. Secondly only make one if you really believe you can promote it well.
Just my 2 cents of advice.

Proxies used to be a great investment. Now that there are so many proxies it is getting harder and harder to receive traffic. Take it from me because I have about 10 proxies of my own. If you want to get into the buisness either buy an established one or start a new one with a marketing plan that can't fail. Otherwise it will be very hard.
