all i need is a tool to post 1 tweet a day for say 25 accounts using some 10-12 proxies.
is there a free tool that can save me from changing proxies, clearing cache, and logging in/out? and preferably i can schedule the tweets?
I understand exactly where you are coming from here, but consider that you are describing a posting scenario. There is no need for the 10-12 proxies if all you intend to do is post 1 tweet a day. Twitterfeed will easily manage this, and it will post from it's own IP addresses, so they are very unlikely to be banned for IP reasons. Once the app is authorized you are all set.
So in this situation just using dynamic IP addresses from home you can easily create the accounts and twitterfeed setups for each one using uniquely issued residential IPs(unplug and/or reset your router for IP release and renew with most providers).
Ok, so you can't get a dynamic IP at home? No problem, grab your laptop, and head on out to some wireless hotspots, and use their IP addresses for account creation. Even if you should encounter the need to log in to these accounts occasionally - as long as your residential IP is unique and remains local OR you continue to hop around hotspots in your local areas - these accounts will be unlikely to banned for IP reasons in my opinion. However, I wouldn't log in a lot, or perform many other functions if managing things this way.
Just to your point of free ... that's one easy way to do it, and requires no proxies at all.
OK - I get it! You want to use your proxies ...
In firefox you are able to create profiles. Each one can be tied to a specific proxy, so set each one up with the right proxy settings, and you can easily have as many profiles as you want. Each one can have a unique PROXY IP, and if you add some user-agent plugin - you can even emulate other types of devices to really change things up, but it's all overkill in my opinion if your true need is as simple as you originally said ... just use twitterfeed.
I'm still using twitterfeed in addition to my followliker because it gives me much greater control over the posted tweets. In fairness, I use a combination of both, but twitterfeed lets me do many things that are convoluted in FL. Paid bots are great, but don't be afraid to work those free options either. iMacros would be my second go to automation tool in this situation AGAIN using multiple firefox profiles.
You got this! Just do it!

You checked the site and not the .exe, also the tool is around for quite some time now, it has a BST, so i'm pretty sure, that both the site and tool is safe.
To OP: You can try Socialoomph, Tweetdeck or Hootsuite. You don't need proxies for the posting process itself, you need to use the proxy only once, when you authenticate your account with their apps.
Or you can try IFTTT (although you'll need 25 accs, because you can link only 1 Twitter account to each). You just need to figure out something which triggers your recipe of posting a tweet. It can be an email which arrives to Gmail, you can do the scheduling with the Boomerang Gmail addon.
These are all excellent points and ideas. I actually really like the concept of the boomerang here, and would just add that there are a lot of ways to accomplish these types of triggering events. My favorite method is simply using feeds I generate with a simple custom coded PHP file. I just call the PHP file on a cron, and it creates a working feed meeting my specifications. This feed works with most apps, but doesn't always validate completely(cause I'm too lazy to care). It does what I need it to do as is.
For people who really want to dig in hard, and develop full functional management mechanisms - you're information was very sound, and it wouldn't be overkill at all if someone had very concrete metrics and goals they were trying to reach. It could be a very powerful and potent approach to mass account tweet management, but I imagine we all get it done whatever way we feel most comfortable using.
Good tips!!!
