ProxyBroker is an asynchronous Python tool that finds public HTTP(S) and SOCKS4/5 proxies from ~50 sources and concurrently checks their type, anonymity level, and response time. It also runs as a local proxy server that rotates requests through a pool of found proxies.

Use cases

  • find working public proxies
  • check proxy anonymity level and speed
  • scrape proxies from multiple sources into a list
  • run a local rotating proxy server
  • filter proxies by country and protocol
  • get anonymous proxies for web scraping

When to choose

  • you need a pool of free public proxies for scraping or testing
  • you want a CLI to find, check, and serve proxies in one tool
  • you need automatic proxy rotation with anonymity filtering

When to avoid

  • you need reliable, paid, or private proxy infrastructure
  • you need guaranteed uptime or legal compliance for production traffic
  • you need a maintained library - development is infrequent and Python 3.5-era APIs may lag
