proxy-rs - Proxy Checker Tool

proxy_rs is a command-line tool written in Rust for checking the validity and performance of proxy servers. It allows you to quickly assess a list of proxy servers, test their responsiveness, and save the working proxies to an output file.

This project uses ureq, one of the fastest request libraries available for rust.

Usage

Usage: proxy_rs [OPTIONS] --file <FILE>

Options:
  -f, --file <FILE>
  -o, --outfile <OUTFILE>  [default: checked-proxies.txt]
  -v, --verbose
  -t, --timeout <TIMEOUT>  [default: 5]
  -r, --retries <RETRIES>  [default: 3]
  -T, --threads <THREADS>  [default: 200]
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version

Options

• -f, --file <FILE>: Specify the path to the input file containing the list of proxy servers to be checked.
• -o, --outfile <OUTFILE>: Specify the name of the output file where the working proxy servers will be saved. (Default: checked-proxies.txt)
• -v, --verbose: Enable verbose mode, providing more detailed output during the checking process.
• -t, --timeout <TIMEOUT>: Set the timeout value (in seconds) for each proxy server check. (Default: 5)
• -r, --retries <RETRIES>: Set the number of retries for failed proxy connection attempts. (Default: 3)
• -T, --threads <THREADS>: Set the number of threads to use for parallel proxy checking. (Default: 200)
• -h, --help: Print the help message detailing the usage of the tool.
• -V, --version: Print the version information of the proxy_rs tool.

Adding Protocols

If your list of proxy servers is in the format host:port, you can use the provided Python script add-protocol.py to add the protocol prefix. The script takes an input file and a protocol as arguments and outputs the modified list to stdout.

Usage

./add-protocol.py input-proxies.txt http > output.txt

Replace http with the desired protocol.

Examples

Check a list of proxy servers with the "https" protocol, verbose output, a timeout of 10 seconds, and using 100 threads:

proxy_rs -f proxies.txt -p https -v -t 10 -T 100
