## What it is
A self-hosted proxy pool service that periodically scrapes free proxy sites, stores and scores them in Redis, tests their availability, and serves usable proxies via a Flask API. It runs as a Docker Compose stack with getter, tester, and server components.

## Use cases
- get free http proxies for web scraping
- self-host a proxy pool with an api
- scrape proxy lists and test which are alive
- serve random working proxies to a crawler
- learn how a proxy pool works

## When to choose
- you want a simple, extensible, Docker-deployable proxy pool for learning or light scraping
- you already use Redis and Python and want a ready-made pool with an HTTP API

## When to avoid
- you need reliable, high-quality proxies for production scraping - free proxy availability is very low
- you need paid proxy features like rotation guarantees, geo-targeting, or anti-blocking

## Facets
- artifact type: service

- domain: crawlers, web-development, self-hosted, networking
