Proxy Leeching By Hand - Because FPL is stupid

and now i know the fpl..

anyways thanks for the share good stuff.. thumbs up.
 
Forum Proxy Leecher. It may or may not work for some people, I've just always felt it's completely inferior to more manual and direct methods.

I've been searching for proxy for past 2 weeks with no avail. Thanks for this.

The possibility is boundless if I can find reliable proxies to use to drive traffic. I'm so excited! here comes money!
 
@Apekillape: Thanks for introducing me to all things proxy.

I'm getting lists of thousands of sock proxy IP addresses from forum's, washing them in Charon and importing the successful IP's into ProxyFirewall.

The issue is speed. Whichever IP I use crawls when using it to browse. Some pages are just unresponsive, others take minutes to load. I've set the rule to "change proxy on time out", but this hasn't helped.

Would appreciate your feedback
 
Hi,
I followed the tut for Charon, and this one for leeching by hand. I got a good list of socks proxies from 3 forums you listed for today, and when I paste them into Charon, I guess Charon automatically starts filtering out the bad ones, and I am left with 5. Is that typical for socks 4 & 5 proxies from checking just the ones from today?
 
Since I have the same question as the post above I'll go ahead and bump this
 
I'm a bit confused by the use of the word "automatically". Unless you post the same IP/port twice it doesn't normally remove anything until you start hitting buttons.

John, where exactly are you stuck? You just have a low count after the check?

I need a very good proxy to post ads on craigslist....Can anyone be of good help??
 
Incredibly awesome info, thanks for the tip. Especially since proxy checkers on Linux appear to be non-existent, this is very helpful. P.S. if anyone DOES know of any proxy checkers for Linux, drop me a note...

just search for a web based one, there seem to be a lot
 
I just use AccessDiver, it has a list of pages it extracts the proxies from, I was able to get 5k working proxies or so by running it once.

Its kind of tough to find the good ones, I think it takes a good sized proxy scraping automated script and then software to filter through this since I have the same issue with most being really slow....

Also, setting it to just change on timeout wouldn't be the best solution because a lot of times it doesn't time out but just goes really slow, I think to really test if its a good proxy, or not, once connecting to it you need to make it do some sort of speed test. I am sure there is a way to integrate this within a script, through a web service or something that offers speed testing.

where can you get this software? I did a few google searches but nothing specific came up that I could tell.... any other similar softwares that are good, does it scrape lists or do you have to import that? Thanks for any info

This is the main issue I have with proxies as well. Many of them are slow as hell.
:stupido2:
Does anyone know of any scripts that can take the final list of good proxies and run them through some kind of speedtest and then eliminate the ones that are too slow?

This would be a pretty useful script. If there isn't something already like that, then some of you coders out there who keep asking for ideas on what to make.... here you go. Run a scraped proxy list through a validator and then run the results through a speedtest and then output a decent list of good proxies. Even better if the script could filter by location as well, many things I need proxies for require some geotargeting as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Wolf :cool:


@apekillape - good job on the first post. This is a really good tutorial on how to find proxies.
 
@Greywolf, i used to use a program for proxy speed test
it isn't free, it's a pretty good one, it also leeches the web for proxies if you want or you can load your custom list into the prog and order the list by speed while it's checking the proxies

i'll let you know, if i can find out the name of the program

Cool, that would help a lot.
 
i know now, it was Proxy Switcher Pro:
Code:

as you can see, you can order the proxies by response in ms, so maybe that's what you're looking for

it has a free lite version, a standard version (with 15 days free trial) and a pro version

i've used a portable pro version, but i've just checked the rar on virustotal and it came up with 2 positive, so i won't upload it here :)
it worked well tho

but i think you can also do this with charon for example

Man, 5+ years ago proxy leeching was so much more fruitful than today, even just leeching from Google...
