Options

The software comes with a lot of options that should be suitable for all tasks.

On this screen you can setup your own internal proxy server. This will allow you to use the software with every other software that offers you to enter a proxy. By default the proxy is running on local host (127.0.0.1) and port 8080. You can of course change this to your needs and also add an authorization (login/password). Once an application (e.g. your Browser) is making use of this proxy server, GSA Proxy Scraper will use any of the proxies in random order. Each new request to the proxy is using a new proxy. If you plan not to use any proxy, you can also choose the one by specifying the TAGs a proxy must have to be used here.

A proxy tag is something like a property you give a proxy. This makes is easy for you to group proxies in a maximum of 8 categories. Some of the tags are also set automatically by the proxy testing (Bing, Google, SSL…).

You can change the name and colour of it by clicking on it.

At the bottom you can define how to test the proxies and how fast. There are two types, connect timeout and the timeout when being connected and receiving data from it. If you choose a low timeout, then the proxies who are slow will not pass and you have just a lot of fast once.

The number of threads define how many parallel searches/tests the program will perform.
