help me to understand and error on scrapebox email graber, please.

I´m trying to scrape local businesses email from facebook. Following the instructions i saw on a youtube tutorial, and it works fine to grab the pages from google, but when check and grab the emails i have a -1 as a result. (and some errors like timeouts, and other things that look normal errors).
A lot of -1 errors gave me a realy low rate of real emails.

I´m using proxies, both paid and free harvested with scrapebox.

I´m totally new to scrapebox so a lot of things i do not know yet.
Thanks.

Here is a picture of what i´m getting as a result.

The best person to answer this is possibly @loopline when he's about.

-1 can be a socket error or otherwise, but it generally means that the connection did not make it to facebook and/or often times never left your machine.

First you don't want to use public scraped free proxies for scraping emails. Public proxies are good for harvesting like with Google for example or Bing because you're looking for mass over accuracy generally. However whenever you're looking for accuracy like scraping emails you don't wanna use public proxies because they fail so often.

It could also be security software. So make sure you add an exception for the entire scrapebox folder in all security software. Also it could be the router so whitelist scrapebox in the router if that's an option, or you can try disabling the router firewall as a test.

ultimately you want to either be using no proxies or in this case paid private proxies. Further a random delay is good but you need to set connections to one for the delay to work.

Thanks.
It might be the router, I had problems before with my internet connection.
I'll investigate that.
