Has anyone ever heard of them?
Is it risky?
How does this differ from other proxy providers?

It's different, from what I can tell it looks like they are the actual owners of the domain?

Also looks like they don't support .au's.

Yep, I'm very wary of using something like this.

whois proxy / privacy is not allowed under current auDA Australia policy. I think it should be allowed and the policy change is overdue. auDA and the registrar / reseller still know the underlying owner details etc .

Most common benefit is it stops spam.

Most countries allow it and most overseas competitive registrars offer it FREE for registrants.

The issue with these guys is that they actually own the domain and give you a right to use it. Unless you are planning some nefarious activities I would register the domain myself
