Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to the OpenProxyHub FAQ page! Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about how our service works. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out.
OpenProxyHub aggregates and validates public proxies from multiple sources, filtering out dead ones to provide only working, reliable proxies. It allows users to easily find proxies by protocol, country, and latency.
Simply browse through our list of proxies, filter by your desired criteria (e.g., location, protocol), and select the ones that fit your needs.
No, OpenProxyHub does not provide private proxies. We only validate and display publicly available proxies that are working.
Proxies are validated regularly, with real-time checks for reliability and availability. You can be confident that our list always contains active, working proxies.
Yes, OpenProxyHub is designed for web scraping, data mining, testing, and privacy purposes. Always ensure you comply with the legal guidelines for web scraping in your country.
OpenProxyHub validates all proxies to check their availability, latency, and protocol. We filter out dead proxies and only provide reliable ones.
Since OpenProxyHub does not control the proxies listed, we are unable to directly resolve issues with individual proxies. If you encounter problems with a specific proxy, we recommend reaching out to the original proxy provider or finding an alternative proxy from our list.
OpenProxyHub uses a combination of custom validation scripts to ensure proxies are working. The proxy validation process includes:
- Protocol Checking: Proxies are checked for compatibility with HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols.
- Geolocation Verification: We verify the country and location of the proxy using the
geo_worker.phpscript, ensuring that proxies match their advertised geolocation. - Latency Testing: We measure the response time of proxies to ensure they are fast enough for use in tasks like web scraping or testing.
- Reliability Scoring: Proxies are tested regularly to ensure they remain active and functional. We keep track of their uptime and latency.
All proxies are validated and categorized based on their reliability, speed, and other key metrics.
OpenProxyHub offers a set of filters that allow you to search proxies based on their protocol, country, latency, and reliability. You can easily find the proxies that match your specific needs, whether it’s for web scraping, security testing, or other tasks.
