This guy promises that his proxy increases hashrate. Well, I'm curious so I checked how it works.
Miner calculates hashrate as TotalNumberOfShares / TotalTimeRunning. If some pool has problems, miner is disconnected and in 20 seconds it will try to connect to same pool. After 3 attempts it will try next pool in fail-over list and so on. During these reconnection attempt mining is stopped and TotalNumberOfHashes is not growing, but TotalTimeRunning is still growing. So if your internet connection is unstable or your pool has some problems like DDOS, maintenance or something else, hashrate will be decreased. As soon as you restart miner hashrate will be back again until same situation.

Now let's try this "proxy". Miner shows same hashrate, but try to disable your internet connection to simulate problems with pool. And you will see though proxy lost its connection to the pool, it does not disconnect miner, so miner still sends shares... to nowhere. Connection to proxy is ok so miner shows same hashrate, calculate hashes, everything looks good, but actually you don't get anything for shares that it finds. Well, let's wait, may be proxy will notice that something wrong? No, it's too simple for such things, I waited for 15 minutes with disabled internet connection but nothing happened, proxy did not disconnect miner so it still sends shares and shows good hashrate

So now I know how he gets "+50% hashrate"... Another problem is that when you enable internet connection again, nothing happens again, miner still sends shares to nowhere because proxy does not reconnect to the pool. But hashrate is ok of course

And link to my warning:

If you speak about my proxy, you tell nonsense.
I didn't say that my proxy increases hashrate up to 50%.
It here still was one participant who told it.
But it not I.

But actually, the proxy increases the speed as your commission goes back.
And generally.
I looked - the algorithm of your commission can be and 10 and 20 and... 50%. It depends on time of the continuous operation of the miner.
The best result was 4.6%
