💼 High-Value Commercial Use Cases

1. Distributed Web Scraping: Feed verified rotating proxies directly into Crawlee, Puppeteer, Playwright, or Scrapy pipelines to bypass basic IP rate-limiting.
2. Geo-Targeting & Localization Testing: Test international e-commerce checkouts, ad impressions, and multi-regional content delivery from 50+ countries.
3. Cybersecurity & Network Auditing: Verify whether company firewalls properly block known open relay and public proxy traffic.
4. Budget-Friendly Scraping: Avoid paying expensive proxy provider subscriptions for low-risk, public data extraction tasks.

🚀 How to Use

1. Configure Protocol Filters: Choose whether you need HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxies.
2. Set Geolocation & Latency: Optionally filter by country code (e.g., US, DE) and maximum ping latency (e.g. < 500ms).
3. Run the Scraper: Start the run on Apify Cloud.
4. Export Your Proxy List: Download in JSON, CSV, TXT (IP:PORT format), or pipe directly into your scraping infrastructure via Apify API.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these proxies free to use?

Yes! All extracted proxies originate from open, public proxy lists. However, because public proxies can fluctuate, this Actor continuously validates live connectivity before exporting.

Can I format the output as IP:PORT for easy copy-pasting?

Yes. You can export as a TXT or CSV file where each line contains the standard ip:port format for direct input into tools like FoxyProxy or scraper configurations.

How often are new proxies added?

The scraper queries 30+ active upstream proxy feeds in real-time on every execution, ensuring you always receive the freshest available IP addresses.
