The Proxy Firewall Open Proxies Tab

Proxy Firewall will allow you to import and use open proxy servers. All you need to do is have a source for them. Proxy Firewall includes options for checking open servers, as well as providing extra information about them. Please be sure to read our warnings about open proxies. If you do decide to use them, http://list-proxies.com/ is a good place to start finding lists.

Please do not judge OUR proxies or Proxy Firewall by your experience with open proxy servers.
Open proxies are SLOW and do not last but hours sometimes. OUR private proxy service offers proxy servers that are stable, fast and always here for you.

HTTPS & SOCKS
When you click the radio button next to HTTP or SOCKS it will load the IP list and ports for each protocol. Proxy Firewall will allow you to select either for any program, but HTTP proxies should be used for programs such as browsers and web programs like Internet Explorer, Netscape and FireFox. SOCKS proxies should be used for TCP programs such as messengers, telnet, ftp, irc, etc.. This is because http proxies are optimized with a cache for browsing. They also timeout faster then socks connections. If you use http proxies for a messenger type program, it may timeout and close more often then you would wish it to.

If you are going to use 'open' http proxies for TCP programs be sure to check your http proxies using port 80. If you use port 443 you are only checking to see if the proxy works with ssl. When you check using port 80 you are also checking to be sure that it works on non standard ports. Note that all of the proxies in our private lists are ssl all port enabled. This means that all of the proxies in our private broadband http lists, work with any program when using HTTP or SOCKS5.

Extra Info
After you have checked your proxies and you mouse over an ip address, you will get extra info on the proxy. This extra info includes the Postal code, Latitude + Longitude and ISP name for the proxy IP address..

Anon Level
The Anon option will display a number from 0-15 You can click on a number for a legend.
This is used so that you can tell if the proxy is anonymous, extra stealth or if offers no anonymity at all. Level 0 is NOT anonymous at all, Level 9 offers total anonymity and Level 15 is extra stealth because it removes the remote address, X_forwarded for, as well as the REFERER and User Agent.

There is an anonymity legend shown below: Level 9 (or above) = Anonymous


Right Click Menu
When you right click in any of the list tabs Private Proxies, Open or Manual Proxies, you will get a menu as shown above with additional options.

Export List
This option will allow you to export the list to a plain text file.

Save List
This option will save the list to your Proxy Firewall program directory instead of waiting for a reboot or shutdown. When you use this option your list would not be lost if your computer was to crash.

Delete Selected
You can multi select items in your list using your ctrl key and then choose to delete one or more items in your list.

Shuffle List
You can choose to shuffle the list in a random order for when you are rotating lists.

Edit Selected
This option will allow to to manually edit any proxy in your open list.

Delete Selected
This option will allow to to delete any proxy in your open list.

Delete All
This option will allow you to clear your list and delete all of the proxies in your list.

Add Proxies
When you click on the Add Proxies button you can add proxies by using the import option, or typing in the information one at a time as shown below.



When you add a group of proxies that all share the same settings, you can leave this window open as you type in your ip address and ports. For example, select the socks5 option. Now type in and add all of your socks5 servers. When you are finished, click the Ok button to add them all to your list. After adding all of your socks5 proxy servers, you can now start adding all of your socks4 proxy servers.

Import Proxy Servers
Importing is easy. All you need is a plain text file with HTTP(s), socks5 or socks4 proxy servers in the format of IP:PORT as shown below.

The file name can be something like (socks4.txt)
61.17.178.188:1080
203.115.84.165:1080
201.252.25.13:1080

Click on the SOCK4 radio button and then on Import. Select your file and the servers will be added to your list. Now click on OK

Checking HTTP Proxies



Manual Proxy Check
When the box is checked, only Manual checks will be done

Auto Proxy Check
When the check box above is not checked, you can set a time interval to auto check your open proxies.

Connect TimeOut
This is the time interval during checking that you want to wait for your computer to make a connection to the proxy server. The default setting is 30 seconds, but to check for fast proxies you can lower the number.

Verify TimeOut
This is the time interval during checking that you want to wait for the proxy to complete a connection.
The default setting is 45 seconds, but to check for fast proxies you can lower the number.

Check SSL on Port
The options are port 443 (ssl port) or port 80 (http port)
Proxies that check ok using port 80 will likely work with TCP programs on non-standard ports.
You will confirm more proxies using port 443, but these may not all work when you try and use TCP programs such as messengers, telnet, ftp, etc.. Note that all of the proxies in our private lists are ssl all port enabled. This means that all of the proxies in our private broadband http lists, work with any program when using HTTP or SOCKS5.

Run Proxy Check
After you have imported your proxies, click on the Run Proxy Check button.



The proxy checking system is advanced and has many options. It will allow you to automatically check proxies during a running project. You can also select your own timeouts for proxy checking for both connect and verify. There is a bad storage area that has options for rechecking later and options to automatically clear your bad storage every xx number of days. A capture of the bad proxy window is shown below.
