UPDATED: Proxy checker
Written by admin0 on March 5, 2008 – 6:56 pm -This is a new, updated version of the proxies checker that i previously posted. Chris requested a version that would scrape proxies first and then test them. So as promised, i have added a scraper to the script. It now scrapes proxies from cspy.org, tests each one, puts transparent ones in transparent.txt and anonymous ones to anonymous.txt. There is no need to hunt for proxies or upload any text files, just run the script and everything is done for you!
I was going to scrape the proxies from samair.ru, but samair has less the 200 proxies at any given time where as cspy has 2000+ at any given time and they are updated twice a day (cspy is also easier to scrape).
Since this new version scrapes proxies automatically, you can just setup a cron job on your sever to run it once or twice a day, and you will always have new, working proxies without having to do anything!
To setup a cron job in Cpanel:
- Logging into cPanel
- Scroll to the bottom and look in the “Advanced” section
- Select “Cron Jobs.” (It is represented with a calendar icon)
- Select “Standard”
- If you want to be notified each time the script runs then use your email, if not then leave it blank
- Enter the following command:
“php /home/YOUR-CPANEL-USERNAME/public_html/SCRIPTNAME.php”
If your script is located in a different folder (i.e. tools), add it before the script name
(i.e. “php /home/YOUR-CPANEL-USERNAME/public_html/FOLDER/SCRIPTNAME.php”) - Select the number of times that you would like the cron job to run
- You can check whether or not a Cron Job has been run by checking the server Logs

I’ve tested it more over the past few days and i am seeing the same result. I do get a few good proxies, but on my past test i only got 5 good ones out of 2562 (not good, not good at all). I am going to work on it tomorrow and will post a new version with a new source of proxies (sorry for the delay, i have a few other projects that i need to finish)
