When doing web scraping and data collection, proxy servers are almost a must, otherwise your IP will be blocked in no time. The bigger problem is that most of the "free proxies" online are dead. I just dug up an open-source project on GitHub: Proxifly. It automatically fetches, updates, and verifies free proxies every 5 minutes, making the "usable" aspect rock-solid and saving a lot of time on filtering and troubleshooting. Currently, it covers 60 countries, provides 806 available proxies, supports protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5; and is clearly categorized by protocol type and country/region, so you can find what you need directly and quickly. GitHub: http://github.com/proxifly/free-proxy-list… Website: https://proxifly.dev Additionally, it deduplicates to avoid redundant proxies hurting the experience; supports download in JSON, TXT, and CSV formats, and can also be installed via npm for direct use in code. If you need a stable free proxy pool, go check it out.
