proxyhub
Advanced tools
An advanced [Finder | Checker | Server] tool for proxy servers, supporting both HTTP(S) and SOCKS protocols.
Porting to Python3.10+ is painful and the progress is moving slowly.
We need more volunteers to join. PRs welcome! :joy:
ProxyHub is an open source tool that asynchronously finds public proxies from multiple sources and concurrently checks them.
To install last stable release from pypi:
$ pip install proxyhub
To install the latest development version from GitHub:
$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/ForceFledgling/proxyhub.git
$ docker pull ForceFledgling/proxyhub
Supported Operating System: Windows, Linux, MacOS
On UNIX-like systems (Linux / macOSX / BSD)
Install these tools
$ sudo apt install -y upx-ucl binutils # On Ubuntu / Debian
pip install pyinstaller \
&& pip install . \
&& mkdir -p build \
&& cd build \
&& pyinstaller --onefile --name proxyhub --add-data "../proxyhub/data:data" --workpath ./tmp --distpath . --clean ../py2exe_entrypoint.py \
&& rm -rf tmp *.spec
The executable is now in the build directory
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
Find and save to a file 10 US proxies (without a check):
$ proxyhub grab --countries US --limit 10 --outfile ./proxies.txt
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.
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)
Check X-Proxy-Info header in response.

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.

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