Abstract
A proxy requestor, who is expected to participate in events hosted on a computing network, may hope to find a proxy to handle the events for the proxy requestor. The proxy requestor, using a requestor device, may submit a request for such proxy to a proxy service provider during or prior to the event. In some examples, the proxy service provider may transmit one or more candidate proxies to the requestor device. Once the proxy requestor device selects a proxy from among the one or more candidate proxies, the requestor device may either facilitate or schedule a connection between the selected proxy and other participants of the events.
