PROXY FINDER

What is Proxy Finder?
Proxy Finder searches for HTTP proxy lists, HTTPS proxy lists and SOCKS (SOCKS4, SOCKS4A, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 with Authentication) proxies lists on the Internet. You should specify proxy web site URL(s) where proxy lists are located and Proxy Finder will automatically find proxy servers information. Then proxy/proxies are added to the program proxy list. Also some proxy finders can check added proxies on fly or by your request. Usually proxies can be checked for proxy state, proxy speed, proxy location and proxy anonymity.
Most proxy finder tools allow you to:
- Scan proxy web sites and extract HTTP proxy lists, HTTPS proxy list and SOCKS proxies list
- Recognize different proxy list formats
- Import/export proxy lists
- Search proxies from certain countries
- Extract proxies from different proxy lists simultaneously
- Automatically search for proxies using scheduler
