mini-projects-python - cli based proxy tester (#77)

Author: Ingo Kleiber (ingo@kleiber.me)

This mini project is a proxy tester based on requests. It utilized pandas for handling csv files and click for the CLI.

Usage

This script tests proxies by querying (GET request) a testing website that returns the IP of the client. If the returned IP matches the IP of the proxy, we consider the proxy to be good.

Testing Single Proxies

python cli.py single http://1.1.1.1

This will test the HTTP proxy 1.1.1.1 against the default testing website iptest.ingokleiber.de. You can run your own testing service using the PHP script in /ipinfo. This service should be offered both via HTTP and HTTPs.

python cli.py single http://1.1.1.1 --iptest iptest.yourdomain.com

(Re)Testing a CSV File

python cli.py csv-file proxies.csv

This will (re)test all proxies in the given file.

Adding and Testing Proxies From a Text File

python cli.py add-from-txt-file proxy_candidates.txt

This will add and test each proxy (one per line) in proxy_candidates.txt.
