scrapebox proxies going down

proxygo · Jan 21, 2014

any noticing that s/box proxies all falling badly at the moment
im asking as i use to get about 1500 - 2k per scan b4 christmas

now in the new year its hovering around 1k per scan
and i bet for users scraping its way way worse

so whats brought on the big down fall

Yes, it sucks. Tbh, as a SB user from day one, I virtually stopped using it all together. The constant scraping and scanning new proxies is not worth it anymore.
I also feel that the stability of the program itself suffered somewhere along the line. But that's beside your point.
Yes, I am having troubles with sb proxies, scraped and scanned a like.

Not sure what the issue is. Not really motivated to find out either tbh.

any clue why this happen?

proxygo · Jan 21, 2014

for me ive port scanned same set of ip ranges 3 times a day
2 hrs apart for 4 yrs... each scan always got me 1.5 - 2k G passed

2014 same ip ranges now 1k, ok 1k is better than nothing still
a large drop since Christmas....post your results what your
currently getting maybe we can work something out from that

I am not even getting half of that anymore. Granted I stopped scanning and scraping since first week of januari.
Maybe my ranges got old, I dunno.
Anyway, sorry I can't help to find an explanation. Maybe I'll try and find a new range just to test the waters.

I'm not scanning proxies but rather I'm just testing a very reliable and hourly updated list, however I've also been getting way less google passed proxies since new years. Getting a little above 500 now from amounts of proxies which used to give me 1-2k google passed proxies.

well i took my ip ranges removed the ip ranges that are spitting out
what use to google passed but now only anonymous
so my ip range list for now is smaller = faster in faster out
less waste - 1.3k well better than 700

Id guess its that google is banning Ips faster or that the ranges that were yielding good proxies for you were found by someone who is scanning them and dumping them to the public and they are being destroyed extremely quickly.

From a pure scraping stand point my private proxies scrape no differently nor die no more often then they did before Christmas. Im still able to scrape millions of urls a week with scrapebox so nothing changed there. Id guess its as you note, its the ip ranges that changed, as in are no longer producing good proxies that are G passed.

well after reconfiguring my ip ranges im back up to around
1.3 - 1.5k not to far from my usual was just testing the water
on this one

The reason is IP rotation. The IPs you're scanning belong to the same ISP. They have a bank of about 2.5M IPs total. At any given time there's 4-5k online. Each day is a new batch of IPs so after a full year of this you start to repeat IPs as proxies. Meanwhile Google hasn't lifted whatever ban it is they have places on them. The times are estimates, I don't know how long Google bans the IPs for, and I'm not exactly sure how long it takes before the ISP starts to repeat the IPs, but I'd be almost willing to bet money that is the reason. I have a feeling I know what ranges you're scanning and if I'm right that'll be the cause.

i scan 80 different ip ranges all different blocks
from AE - TZ - VE - BR - ID - was a time it was almost 3k
a scan but ill settle for 1.5 . just hope it goes back up

akacash · Jan 24, 2014

I gotcha, yeah that's more than I was thinking. Good luck though, hope it picks back up for you.

proxygo · Jan 25, 2014

tz clocks in about 100 - ae/br/id about 300
ve about 1-2k depending on the weather
