Proxy filters make the proxy list clean and convenient to use. Proxy lists include the IP addresses of computers that host open proxy servers making them available to anyone on the internet. Proxy lists are classified by the various proxy protocols that they use such as HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS.
Most proxy providers offer this service online with the additional ability to save to a file and clear the field. Proxy filtering is performed in IP: PORT format. The other advantages of the filter are the following:
Proxy list filters help sort a “dirty” sheet containing detailed information about the proxies and convert it to a list in IP: PORT format. It saves the IP address and the port number alone and removes the other details from the proxy list.
There are a plethora of proxy lists on Google for public use. The proxy list contains detailed information including country, city, speed, type, and anonymity. The information you need from this list is the standard IP address and the IP port. This is the “standard IP: PORT” format that is given to the client as the Proxy list.
Every proxy provider has its own standard way of uploading data. The proxy lists are available to users through the mail, PDF, DOC, or CSV files. The problem is that users upload the proxy list in different formats since there is no standard way of uploading data.
The list has extra characters, spaces, dates, or comments in each row which you must delete. It is difficult to check them all at once and get them ready for use, but there are two options to do it.
One way is to sort through the data by going through each entry, and extracting what you need. It requires manual work such as copying, pasting, and deleting, and the other method is to use a proxy filter.
The shared proxies from a provider do not exclusively belong to them. They come from different sites on the internet including the closed forums and from some private proxy databases and the spider robot automatically collects them from different sources.
On verification, the proxies show the status at the time of verification and do not guarantee performance and stability.
The proxy list shows how long ago the proxies verified the status of all proxies in its network and checks and sorts all proxies listed according to various parameters. The type of proxy depends on how the user uses the proxy. The different types are :
Another parameter that it checks and sorts is proxy anonymity. It is an important factor for a proxy whether it may hide the user’s identity or whether the destination server suspects the use of the proxy or not.
The anonymity factor is categorized as:
The proxy list contains mixed proxies from different countries and you can download it as a link or as a .csv/.txt file. Click on the “Filter Proxies” to get the active proxies from the list, from a specific country.
The proxy providers offer proxy filters as an online tool to sort the ‘dirty list’ into IP: PORT format. It sorts and prepares a list of proxies based on certain criteria like the country, anonymity, and protocols.
