    Looking for a Scrapebox-friendly proxy service that charges by bandwidth

    Any suggestions? proxies.online was great before they jacked their prices 800% and ignore all support tickets. Need to move on to a new company!

    Did this proxy service just jack prices 800%??

    I've recently used this service (rev.proxies.online) and other than the fact that their traffic log is not even close to being correct and that they completely ignore all customer service requests, their system has worked well. BUT... you have to buy bandwidth in advance, which I did, then...

    Scrapebox Proxy Harvester connecting to virus sites -- how do we stop this?

    I'm running eSet anti-virus software, and when I run the Scrapebox Harvester I get alarm after alarm that I'm connecting to 3 websites blocked for virus distribution -- namely sbjudge1.com, sbjudge2.com, and sbjudge3.com. My first thought is that one of the original proxy 'sources' used in the...

    Is it possible to set up a private proxy on a cheap shared hosting account?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I wanted to see if it might be possible. I have a couple of cheap hosting accounts with full access to cPanel -- is there some software I can install to use that host as my private proxy? Thanks for any info!

    Creating a new facebook account - any guidelines?

    Ok, so I did something really stupid and got into an argument with Trump supporters, and for the second time they gang-reported my account and got it suspended. It's now very clear to me that if you are going to discuss anything on facebook, you should have at least 2 accounts so that you are...

    Storm Proxies Backconnect Trial

    Based on a recommendation here, I'm giving these guys a test and trying the Backconnect rotating proxies for whois scraping with scrapebox. They offer a "test month" of 10 threads for a good price, and they let you choose whether to rotate IPs on every request, every 3 minutes, or 15 minutes...

    Proxy Testing - Which is accurate?

    I've tried a few different "proxy testing" software programs, and it's odd how they all have very different results for the same list of proxies. The tester that comes with Scrapebox seems to be the most professionally written and has the best filter options, so I'm ASSUMING it's one of the...

    WHOIS Scraping - have the limits changed?

    Is it just me, or did something change with the limits of the .COM whois system at whois.verisign-grs.com? All of the sudden I'm getting banned rather quickly with both free and PAID proxies. Today I got a new set of proxies and 1/2 of them were banned within an hour. I'm allocating 25 to...

    ScrapeBox Whois - Bug Fix!

    If you've spent any time with the Scrapebox WHOIS Addon, you quickly found out that it placed an exclusive lock on your URL file that would not go away until you rebooted the computer... which makes running multiple threads very confusing and difficult. I emailed support this week, and 2 days...

    Where can I buy a copy of the California vehicle tag # database?

    I'd like a copy of the database of license tag numbers with other names and any other information that is available, for the state of California. I know it used to be considered private, but I don't think it is anymore since the VIN database is now considered public domain and is available on...

    ScrapeBox Whois - is 17% success rate the best I can hope for?

    Ok, I've now spent about 20 hours working with the Scrapebox whois. I've played with large sets of proxies harvested by scrapebox itself, I've used paid for premium proxies, I've tried various delay settings and retry settings. I'm only looking up .COM, and my internet connection is good...

    Why do people host free proxies?

    I know this is extreme newbie question even though I'm not all that new to SEO or proxies, but why are there "hundreds of thousands" of free proxies out there? What is the benefit to the host? Or are these all/mostly installed by viruses and the owner is unaware? I've looked for the answer to...

    Where to get a copy of the ZONE file for .com?

    I'm trying to find domains with my keywords in them, and I used to be able to get a recent ZONE file listing every active .com domain. They used to be free and easy to get but my source is gone. Anyone know where I can get one free or cheap? It doesn't have to be very recent, up to a year...

    ScrapeBox Whois - Can it pick up more fields?

    I like the 'scrapebox whois' grabber, but it is set up to collect only a few of the fields - I would like to collect the DNS server names, for example. Is there any way to modify it to collect more fields? Also, it looks like older versions of this tool had an option to retry failed lookups...
