prox

prox is a command line utility for quickly finding and testing proxies from the web.

Downloading

GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/nicksherron/prox

Supported platforms

prox has been tested on Linux(ubuntu) and OSX

Example

Here's and example of downloading 20,000 proxies and returning the first 100 that returned 200 status code during testing.

prox  --workers 400 --limit 100

When using a high worker count you will usually need to increase your open file limit. On OSX and Linux you can do this by running

ulimit -n 10000
