How to Scrape Proxies

1. Understand Proxy Sources
   Free proxies are often listed on websites such as:
2. • free-proxy-list.net
   • sslproxies.org
   • us-proxy.org
   • proxyscrape.com/free-proxy-list
     These lists usually show IP address, port, protocol (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS), anonymity, and country.
2. Use Python to Scrape Proxies
   Requirements: requests, beautifulsoup4, lxml
   Example:
3. • Send a GET request to the proxy list page.
   • Parse the HTML to locate the proxy table.
   • Extract IP, port, and protocol for each proxy.
   • Save them in the format: http://IP:PORT or https://IP:PORT.
3. Verify Proxies
4. • Test each proxy by making a request to a site like httpbin.org/ip.
   • Discard proxies that fail or are too slow.
4. Tips
5. • Rotate proxies to avoid bans.
   • Check anonymity to ensure your IP is not leaked.
   • Consider using SOCKS proxies with PySocks for better privacy.
   • Only use proxies legally; do not bypass restrictions on websites.
