Proxy Checker Script

This repository contains a Python script that automates the process of downloading, validating, and cleaning a list of SOCKS5 proxies. The script fetches a frequently updated proxy list from a GitHub repository, checks the validity of each proxy, and saves the valid ones to a separate file.

Features

• Automatic Proxy List Download: The script automatically downloads the latest proxy list from TheSpeedX's SOCKS-List repository.
• Concurrent Proxy Validation: Utilizes multithreading to validate proxies in parallel, ensuring faster processing.
• Filtering and Cleaning: Proxies that pass validation are saved to a separate file, with any invalid entries being removed.
• Easy-to-Use: The script requires minimal setup and can be run directly after downloading the repository.

How It Works

1. Download Proxy List:

   • The script downloads a list of SOCKS5 proxies from TheSpeedX's SOCKS-List repository.

2. Validate Proxies:

   • Each proxy is tested by making a request to https://httpbin.org/ip. If the proxy successfully returns a response, it is considered valid.

3. Save Valid Proxies:

   • Valid proxies are saved to valid_proxies.txt. Any invalid proxies or improperly formatted entries are discarded.

4. Clean Up:

   • After validation, the script cleans the valid_proxies.txt file by removing any entries with less than 5 characters, ensuring only valid proxies are stored.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   • git clone https://github.com/FraneCal/proxy-checker-script.git

   • cd proxy-checker-script

2. Install Dependencies:

   • pip install requests

3. Run the Script:

   • python main.py

4. Check the Output:

   • The valid proxies will be saved in valid_proxies.txt in the root directory of the project.

Customization

• Proxy List Source: You can change the source of the proxy list by modifying the url variable in the script.

• Number of Threads: Adjust the number of threads used for proxy checking by modifying the range in the thread creation loop.
