Porting to Python3.10+ is painful and the progress is moving slowly.
We need more volunteers to join. PRs welcome! 😂

ProxyHub

ProxyHub is an open source tool that asynchronously finds public proxies from multiple sources and concurrently checks them.

Features 🌟

Finds more than 7000 working proxies from ~50 sources.
Support protocols: HTTP(S), SOCKS4/5. Also CONNECT method to ports 80 and 23 (SMTP).
Proxies may be filtered by type, anonymity level, response time, country and status in DNSBL.
Work as a proxy server that distributes incoming requests to external proxies. With automatic proxy rotation.
All proxies are checked to support Cookies and Referer (and POST requests if required).
Automatically removes duplicate proxies.
Is asynchronous.

Requirements 📋

Python 3.8+
aiohttp
aiodns
maxminddb

Installation 🚀

The executable is now in the build directory

Usage 💡

CLI Examples

Find

Find and show 10 HTTP(S) proxies from United States with the high level of anonymity:

$ proxyhub find --types HTTP HTTPS --lvl High --countries US --strict -l 10

Grab

Find and save to a file 10 US proxies (without a check):

$ proxyhub grab --countries US --limit 10 --outfile ./proxies.txt

Serve

Run a local proxy server that distributes incoming requests to a pool of found HTTP(S) proxies with the high level of anonymity:

$ proxyhub serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8888 --types HTTP HTTPS --lvl High --min-queue 5

Run proxyhub --help for more information on the options available. Run proxyhub <command> --help for more information on a command.

Basic code example

Find and show 10 working HTTP(S) proxies:

import asyncio
from proxyhub import Broker

async def show(proxies):
    while True:
        proxy = await proxies.get()
        if proxy is None: break
        print('Found proxy: %s' % proxy)

proxies = asyncio.Queue()
broker = Broker(proxies)
tasks = asyncio.gather(
    broker.find(types=['HTTP', 'HTTPS'], limit=10),
    show(proxies))

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(tasks)

Proxy information per requests

HTTP

Check X-Proxy-Info header in response.

HTTPS

We are not able to modify HTTPS traffic to inject custom header once they start being encrypted. A X-Proxy-Info will be sent to client after HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established but not sure how clients can read it.

HTTP API

Get info of proxy been used for retrieving specific url

For HTTP, it's easy.

$ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 curl -v http://proxycontrol/api/history/url:http://httpbin.org/get
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8888 (#0)
> GET http://proxycontrol/api/history/url:http://httpbin.org/get HTTP/1.1
> Host: proxycontrol
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
> Accept: */*
> Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json
< Content-Length: 34
< Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
< Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
<
{"proxy": "..."}

For HTTPS, we're not able to know encrypted payload (request), so only hostname can be used.

$ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 curl -v http://proxycontrol/api/history/url:httpbin.org:443
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8888 (#0)
> GET http://proxycontrol/api/history/url:httpbin.org:443 HTTP/1.1
> Host: proxycontrol
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
> Accept: */*
> Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive

Remove specific proxy from queue

$ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 curl -v http://proxycontrol/api/remove/PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...

TODO 🛠️

Check the ping, response time and speed of data transfer
Check site access (Google, Twitter, etc) and even your own custom URL's
Information about uptime
Checksum of data returned
Support for proxy authentication
Finding outgoing IP for cascading proxy
The ability to specify the address of the proxy without port (try to connect on defaulted ports)
