proxyfy

proxyfy is a Node.js module you can use to check if proxies from a big list are working.

For example, let's say you want to connect to the website example.com, but it blocks requests from your IP. So you search on the Internet a few proxy servers to use to connect to this website. The problem is that a lot of proxies you can find are not working, or maybe they are already blocked by example.com.

With proxyfy, you can test big lists of proxy servers to see if they work to send requests to a website.

Install

To install the module:

npm install proxyfy --save

Example

import Proxyfy from 'proxyfy';
// or
const Proxyfy = require('proxyfy');

const proxyfy = new Proxyfy({
    url: 'http://www.example.com',
    regex: /Example Domain/
});

(async () => {
    proxyfy.on('alive', proxy =>
        console.log(proxy));

    /*  {
     *		proxy: '123.234.321.32:80',
     *		host: '123.234.321.32',
     *		port: '80',
     *		timeout: 1000
     *	}
     */

    const itsWorking = await proxyfy.fromFile('myProxyFile.txt');
    console.log(itsWorking);
    
    /*  [{
     *		proxy: '123.234.321.32:80',
     *		host: '123.234.321.32',
     *		port: '80',
     *		timeout: 1000
     *	}, ...]
     */
});

The file you pass as first parameter contains the proxy servers to test. Here is an example:

123.234.321.32:80
12.234.21.243:8080
132.34.212.4:3128
#127.32.76.123:80 <= This line will be ignored
