Common questions

Is proxy-scraper safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.31.0) reached the registry 14 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Proxy checks you can inspect: what passed, what failed, and when. proxy-scraper collects public HTTP, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies from hundreds of lists, runs up to four checks on each one and keeps the outcome of each check for the proxies it lists (for the rest it counts how each check ended), so "working" is something you can look at instead of a label you have to trust.

Try it – no install needed, uvx comes with uv (pipx run does the same):

uvx proxy-scraper-cli --pick 3 --verify               # up to 3 proxies from the hourly list that pass right now, from your network

uvx proxy-scraper-cli --diagnose socks5://HOST:PORT # one proxy, check by check: what it did and what it didn't

A real terminal recording, made against six simulated proxies on localhost (reproduce it). It shows how results are reported. It measures nothing about public proxies.

The package is proxy-scraper-cli on PyPI (the plain name is taken). Once installed, the command is proxy-scraper. --verify and --diagnose need version 1.30 or newer.

Three ways to get proxies, and what "checked" means for each:

Command	Where the proxies come from	Checked	Takes
`proxy-scraper --pick 5`	the published list	from GitHub's servers when the list was built, about every hour	under a second
`proxy-scraper --pick 5 --verify`	the published list	now, from your network	seconds to a minute and a half at most
`proxy-scraper -y`	every list the tool knows	now, from your network	minutes (about three in the hourly runs)

What you get

Every check has an outcome you can read. passed, failed, unavailable or skipped, with a reason code, the target and the time, in the terminal, in JSON and from Python. A check that didn't run is never shown as passed, and a check target that is down doesn't turn the proxies checked against it into failures. → Check states
Fresh when it matters. --pick --verify checks a few proxies from your own network, usually in seconds. --recheck does the same for a list of your own, and --diagnose tells you why one proxy doesn't work.
More than a list. A rotating local proxy server, a Python API, an MCP server for AI agents, Docker, and exports for curl, proxychains, Clash and sing-box.

What it can't do. Free proxies are run by strangers, and of one hour's list only about a quarter is on the list again a day later. A pass is one measurement, from one network, against test targets: it is not a promise for the next hour or for the site you care about. The HTTPS check is a verified TLS connection to one test host, not a security rating. Use free proxies for public data and testing, never for logins, payments or anything personal. → What the numbers show and what they don't · Why free proxies fail · How it compares · Who runs free proxies

Only want the lists? You don't need this tool: free-proxy-list has them as plain files per protocol and country, rebuilt about every hour. Or straight from here: all.txt · http.txt · socks4.txt · socks5.txt · proxies.json · more formats

Used by: the hourly list is a built-in source of monosans/proxy-scraper-checker and gfpcom/free-proxy-list.

Install

With [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/) (recommended – gives you a proxy-scraper command in its own environment):

pipx install proxy-scraper-cli

proxy-scraper

With [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) on macOS and Linux:

brew install maximilianfeix/tap/proxy-scraper

The formula follows each release within about a day.

Docker, pip, a faster event loop, the latest main, tab completion and where state and results are stored: every other way to install.

Started without arguments, a wizard asks what you are looking for – a preset (find everything, browsing, maximum anonymity, fast, a few right now, recheck, proxy server right away, …) or step by step: the wizard and its presets.

Keys: ↑ ↓ select · Space toggle · 1 – 9 jump · Enter next · Esc back · q quit. In scripts and cron jobs the wizard never shows up – pass options or -y.

Live proxy list

Don't want to scan yourself? About every hour GitHub Actions runs the tool and publishes the hits to the proxy-list branch – every entry passed the first request, the second request and the content check in the last run (the HTTPS test is recorded per entry, not required), best first: fast ones that are likely to still be up come on top.

Just want the lists? They also live in a repository of their own, [maximilianfeix/free-proxy-list](https://github.com/maximilianfeix/free-proxy-list) – one list per protocol, per country and per site, updated every hour, with the numbers of the last run on the front page. Watch or star it to keep it at hand. Other tools pull it too: monosans/proxy-scraper-checker and gfpcom/free-proxy-list use it as a built-in source.

→ [Browse it on the website](https://proxy-scraper.de/) – search, filter by type, country, HTTPS, provider and latency, see how long each proxy has been on the list and in how many of the week's runs, copy or download exactly the proxies you need.

Every protocol and country also has its own page with a plain download, e.g. SOCKS5 or Germany (country/de/proxies.txt).
