ProxyBroker is an open source Python tool designed to automatically discover and verify public proxy servers from many online sources. It operates asynchronously, allowing it to gather and test large numbers of proxies efficiently while performing multiple checks concurrently. It collects proxy addresses from dozens of providers and evaluates whether they are functional and suitable for use. It supports several proxy protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5, making it flexible for different networking and scraping scenarios. ProxyBroker can filter proxies based on criteria such as anonymity level, response time, country of origin, and DNS blacklist status. In addition to discovering and validating proxies, it can also function as a proxy server that distributes incoming requests across a rotating pool of working proxies. This capability allows users to route traffic through multiple proxies automatically, which can help with tasks.

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
