Awesome

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

ProxyBroker

ProxyBroker 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.

• aiodns
• maxminddb

Installation

Install locally

To install last stable release from pypi:

NOT RECOMMEND. It will install the out-dated original proxybroker package, which is no longer maintained by original maintainer. https://github.com/constverum/ProxyBroker We will upload the up-to-date package under new name (proxybroker2) when the support for 3.10 is ready. https://github.com/bluet/proxybroker2/issues/89

$ pip install proxybroker

To install the latest development version from GitHub:

$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/bluet/proxybroker2.git

Use pre-built Docker image

$ docker pull bluet/proxybroker2

Build bundled one-file executable with pyinstaller

Requirements

Supported Operating System: Windows, Linux, MacOS

On UNIX-like systems (Linux / macOSX / BSD)

Install these tools

• upx
• objdump (this tool is usually in the binutils package)

$ sudo apt install -y upx-ucl binutils # On Ubuntu / Debian

Build

pip install pyinstaller \
&& pip install . \
&& mkdir -p build \
&& cd build \
&& pyinstaller --onefile --name proxybroker --add-data "../proxybroker/data:data" --workpath ./tmp --distpath . --clean ../py2exe_entrypoint.py \
&& rm -rf tmp *.spec

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:

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

Grab

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

$ proxybroker 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:

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

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

Basic code example

Find and show 10 working HTTP(S) proxies:

import asyncio
from proxybroker 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)

More examples.

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
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json

< Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

* Connection #0 to host 127.0.0.1 left intact

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...

• 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)
