Had a quick question. BTW, been a NHS user for almost a year and VERY happy with the software, support, updates, etc. Anyone who doesn't have this needs to get it. That said....
... I noticed sometimes certain proxies are getting temporary time bans from Google. I've been keeping a close watch on the logs as this has been happening more frequently lately. Not sure if it's the proxies I'm using or what it is, I've even taken the threads to their lowest levels and it's still giving me temporary search ban warnings every few hours of use.
Would it be possible to add a feature to automatically stop using proxies that have the temporary ban for a few hours automatically and then start using them again? I don't see an option for it in the settings but it might already be a feature. It would be a great feature if it isn't already. Thanks!
You can already accomplish this, first you will want to put your proxy list in a file and have NHSEO load the proxies from that file (select "Continually Update From File?" and then enter the file location using the "Browse" button. Then select the "Remove Bad Search Proxies?" and set your "Load File Delay" to 5-15mins (300,000 - 900,000) so that the bad proxies are not attempted right away.
You can also use the "Re-Schedule Search on Bad Proxy" to ensure that any bad searches are re-attempted later on and/or set a "Minimum proxies For Searching" so that you do not end up in a position where all proxies get burnt out or even worse end up burning your home or VPS IP from over searching because all proxies are burnt out.
Another option for ensuring the proxies are all working is to use the "Check Proxies every X mins", this will periodically check the proxy list without actually removing them from the list. This will act more or less the same as the above but may result in repeatedly trying to use an already burnt IP address.
I hope that makes sense. If not ask any questions you may have.
This would probably make for a good video guide.
