The proxy file export function is a helpful feature that exports the list of our proxy server's IPs in different formats and order.
Keep in mind that the main purpose of this export function is to allow you to tailor output to your needs, to re-order host, port, username and password fields.
Here we'll have a few examples or guidelines of how the output will look like if you chose one option or another, so you'd know which option to go with.
These rules apply to HTTP(s) proxies as well as SOCKS5 proxies.
Depending on the mode you get different output and ports.
Rotating mode:
Some technical details on this one.
on EACH request you will get different IP
(10 minutes) is basically to get new IP's every 10 minutes.
Let's take for example the 10000 IPv6 plan, you can have have up to 10000 NEW IPv6 addresses every 10 minutes, if you wish so.
When proxy mode is rotation , each request is different IP from the 10000 IP's pool.
IP Auth: user only | 10 minutes | any other time frame
Output:2a10:66c0:1:a000:9094:b75a:1ee8:df06
2a10:66c0:1:a001:ebdc:4402:1148:fa6b
etc...
Fixed mode (you get ports:
10001-20000
)Allow the users to use them repetitively for as long as they wish having no need for rotation.
Why are fixed proxies a great choice for scraping data?They are based on virtual machines so they have fixed IPs. As a result, servers donโt see activities originating from a fixed proxy IP address suspicious.
IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION -
host:user:pass:port
Output:45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:10001
45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:10002
....
45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:20000IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION -
host:user:por
t
Output:45.145.57.003:user:10001
45.145.57.003:user:10002
....
45.145.57.003:user:20000IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION - host:port
Output:
45.145.57.003:10001
45.145.57.003:10002
......
45.145.57.003:20000Or maybe you need the
host:password:port
format. That can be done the same way.
Mixed mode (you get ports
3128, 10001-15000
)Half of the IP addresses used as rotating IP's while the second half of IP addresses will be used in the standard way as the Fixed mode by using one IP address per port, therefore as we can see we can export the second half IPs as such:
IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION -
host:user:pass:port
Output:45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:10001
45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:10002
....
45.145.57.003:user:47cab13c1d:15000
45.145.57.113:user:47cab13c1d:3128IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION -
host:user:port
Output:45.145.57.003:user:10001
45.145.57.003:user:10002
...
45.145.57.003:user:15000
45.145.57.003:user:3128IP Auth: user only | NO ROTATION -
host:port
Output:45.145.57.003:10001
45.145.57.003:10002
....
45.145.57.003:15000
45.145.57.003:3128Or maybe you need the
host:password:port
format. That can be done the same way.I don't know what to do next...
