How many proxies are you guys using?

How many proxies are you guys using? I came across many that claim to only use 10 private proxies. Any suggestions?

I use 100 shared proxies from BuyProxies and then i use the GSA scraper to scrape every 30 min. Total working proxies at anytime is around 2200

Seems to work fine with me.

Same here but I don't seem to get that much of shared proxies from SER proxy harvester. Do you use the default proxy sites built in in SER to find good proxies ? or you changed/edit them a bit ?

royalmice

I use the automatic with the default and that give me around 2000 good proxies.

My settings are:
Check for new proxies every 30 min.
Second option unchecked
Test proxies : Only newly added + Retest previously working proxies
I auto export the list to my dropbox folder in case i need a proxy for something i can just get it from there.
Threats at 50 and timeout at 60


For my set up the above seems to work ok for me

I see, in mine I set the timeout much lower than this to get only fast proxies. That's why I'm getting much lower than you get.

Why shared proxies and not private? and does location of the proxies matter? I think i can get some asia proxies for cheap but i keep seeing people asking/talking about US proxies instead

Shared proxy is because i cant afford 100 private proxies --

Timeout 60. Would that be a bit slow ?

mamadou

What timeout setting do you used for public proxy ?

@sootedninjas

I use timeout at 2 seconds currently but I'm thinking to set it at 1 sec.

sootedninjas

based on 2 seconds timeouts apx how many public proxies you were able to scrape ?

what is the "best practice" for public proxy timeouts ?

thanks in advance for the info.
