- Test proxies with
curl, Pythonrequests(withrequests[socks]) or Node.jsaxios+ proxy-agent. - Combine API-based sources (rotating) with feed/list sources for resilience.
- Maintain your own small validator (check CONNECT, response time, anonymity) before trusting proxies in production.
- Respect robots.txt and site ToS β scraping through proxies still needs legal/ethical consideration.
- Free proxies are often flaky; consider short TTLs and retries.
