Proxy Scraper Suggestions - Any Thoughts?

edited December 2024 in GSA Proxy Scraper
Hi there
First off, what I really like about the GSA Software development is that suggestions are acted upon very quickly.
1. The Last Suggestion, I suggested, was the one in which we can see what IP Address is being used.
2. When Testing "Proxies Against" a Filter was created to Delete Dead or IP's that were either asleep or dead
I use this GSA on Linux, and it seems 99% Stable
The Only problem that occurs is a rendering issue when I go from Normal size to full screen.
I'm not worried about that, as it seems Rock solid on Windows, and it's probably a driver issue on Linux anyway.
Suggestions !!
1. Could we please have any way of Filtering and deleting, or "Hiding" any Proxies within the "Reliability"
column
2. A Forced Timeout that will Strictly stop an IP that just sits there and doesn't respond within the Real Timeout
set
They Say, If it works "Don't Fix it" so to be honest, there isnt really much that I can think of to refine this
Software
3. The testing for "Gateways" never seems to work, now that is a useful option that would be great if it was stable
Thanks
Stay Safe !!

  • Well stay safe Sven

    I finally found the time to look at your suggestions.
    1. the gateway detection had issues and it is working now in upcoming version
    2. I have added a new option to delete proxies automatically if the reliability is below a certain %
    3. I decided to no add a ping column as you have a speed column already

    Hi Sven - It's looking good
    Brilliant Work !!
    The Gateway function seems to be working well.
    I will run it against a few Apps, but the main things is that I can totally avoid using "Gateways"

    Thanks

    Hi Sven - As I am having time, I am testing the functions.
    1. One thing is that when some proxies are stubbornly sitting there and doing nothing, I decide to stop the test
    by doing this, it assumes none of the Proxies are any good, with the message as below.
    I think the Forced Timeout would eliminate this
    Not a major problem..
    2. When searching for "New Proxies or Importing them, the Gateways seems to work very well"
    Thanks Again
    3. It seems a lot Snappier and faster

    Hi Sven

    Since the fact that VPN's are getting harder to use, I am focussing on GSA PS
    GSA is now Software I would recommend, for many reasons, but mainly because its a Solid piece of Software, where you havnt Abandoned from your loyal customers
    These Suggestions arnt something that have taken 5 minutes to think about.
    I have been meaning to Post for a few weeks now regarding these suggestions
    I still struggle when I use the Proxy Scanner, as it dosnt pick op many Proxies.
    I have tested it on a Good known Range, and it still dosnt pick up the "Proxies and Ports" in that range 
    Are you able to Add this functionality?
    1. When I test the servers to use, Can we please have an Option to Test the Stats of the Servers please?
    You added, the Option to Remove "Dead" Servers which was great
    It would be great to be able to Filter out the Slow server causing problems.



    2. Resizing of the Main Window
    This could be useful due to when I am trying to have a tidy workspace.
    When I resize some of the GSA Windows disappears.
    3. When I am in test Mode, it seems that GSA is being Greedy and taking most of my memory, which means very little can be used in the Foreground.
    Stay Safe..
    ps - I have to add that being aware of Gateways is good, its just the fact than I dont always want to see them
