Best Proxy Scraping Software's for 2022
What is a proxy?
Think of it this way. Imagine that you wanted to send a letter to another location which was not near by. What would you do? You would usually put the letter into a mail box and then the mailman would collect the letter and take care of it from his end. The letter will then eventually get mailed to the required destination without you ever being there.
This scenario is similar to how a proxy servers work. A proxy is an IP address of the proxy server hosting it. So if you wanted to browse a website on the internet, but didn’t want the website to see your identity (IP address), then you can route your request through a proxy server. The proxy server will take your request, then forward it to the website’s destination address. The data that you want to retrieve from the website will then be sent to the proxy server and from the proxy server back to your machine.
The only address that the website will see is the IP address of the proxy server. But the proxy server must be an anonymous one to disquise your identity.
What is a proxy scraper?
Proxy scrapers are software’s that search the internet for proxy addresses. This saves you all the time from looking them up by yourself, which can be time consuming.
Now that I have explained to you what proxies are let’s get down to the best ones out there on the market.
GSA Proxy Scraper
This software has been out in the market for a while and is extremely good. It’s not like your average proxy scraper because it does more than just one type of a simple scrape.
This software can harvest thousands of proxies in less than a minute. It can scrape proxies by the type which includes elite, anonymous, transparent and socks. It has a built-in proxy tester so that you can test your proxies to see how healthy they are and it also has a built-in port scanner as well.
The software can also act as a proxy server and comes with other extra features that you can use beyond scraping. The downside to this software is that it is not very user friendly, it is very difficult to use because it has many different functionalities on it. If you are technical then you shouldn’t have a problem.
Vexa Proxy Scraper
This is a newer tool out there on the market and it’s similar to GSA proxy scraper with a few different features. The nice thing about this software is that it is very user friendly so anyone can use it without any issues.
This software can scrape proxies by type which includes elite, anonymous, by country, etc. It has a built-in proxy tester powered with an advance feature that can test proxies more efficiently. It can test proxies to see if they will work with Google too which is an brilliant feature. It can automatically open up your proxies in a web browser for you to surf the internet without being traced. It has a awesome built-in port scanner which you can use to scan for quality proxies online. This feature is real good because as you know, most free public proxies are poor in quality, so finding quality ones for free comes in handy.
Scrapebox
Usually called the user's swiss knife, was built mainly for SEO back in the days, but this software does come with a built-in proxy scraper. The software can scrape tons of proxies by the minute and has an awesome filtering feature, that allows you to filter proxies by type, speed, port, you name it. It also comes with a built-in proxy tester for you to test the health of your proxies. Although this is not just a proxy scraper, it does come with other features beyond just scraping proxies.

It can scrape http, socks4, socks5, elite, anonymous proxies quickly without compromising efficiency. You can also scrape proxies by country and output them to a file.
Conclusion
Well these are the best proxy scrapers out there. Most proxy scraping tools just do the basic thing which is just scraping random proxies that are mixed in type. These ones go beyond that, which makes them stand out from the rest. Please remember to like and share.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
