Multi-threaded Python SOCKS Proxy Checker

Tutorials

Here is an excellent script which we originally modified from this source that checks your SOCKS5 proxies.

With this you can set:

Number of threads
Timeout value
Proxy list
Test URL

Then it will automatically read your proxy list and report back how many good / bad and filter the good ones into a separate text file.

Simply create your python file check.py then create two directories; input and output

Any text files in the directory input will be treated as a proxy list and once the check has completed it will write to the output directory all your good and working proxies.

Find the perfect Proxy Product.
