hello guys i am new just was think to start gsa and i want to make sure that is it possible to use the public proxy for scraping
It’s always possible, but it depends mostly on the quality of the proxies that you got and how strict your settings is when looking for public proxies. The problem of public proxies is too many people using them, causing higher chance of getting banned/blacklisted. Remember that quality is better than quantity.

If not, hit up our free trial - no rebill or anything - and plug in the (Limited version) of the proxy feed.
Beyond that, add a TON of new proxy sources to SER. The default sources are beat-down because everyone is using them.
You can easily find new sources by googling valid proxies that SER finds.
Add as many sources as you can handle / find time to put in. We've been building our list for 3 years, and still find 5-6 new proxy feeds each day.
If you’re using GSA proxy scraper, you can try out the suggestions/settings from this:
