Teach you to inspect proxy IPs by hand
The most fearful thing about buying a proxy IP is that it will not be used. Recently, there are cross-border e-commerce old Zhang planted, spend a lot of money to buy the proxy IP pool, the results of 70% can not connect to the target site, anxious him to find my tips overnight.
I'll teach you an old-fashioned way:Get the free tool to test your speed first. Don't rush into the code, open your browser and set it to manually enter a proxy, and visit any IP checking website (like ip.sb). If the page doesn't open or it doesn't show a proxy IP address, get rid of the damn IP.
Example of a Python Script for Temporary Testing
import requests
proxy = {"http": "123.45.67.89:8080"}
try.
res = requests.get('http://ip.sb', proxies=proxy, timeout=5)
print("Available! Real IP:", res.text)
except.
print("This proxy is dead!")

A practical guide to avoiding the pit
Last week to help a friend adjust the crawler encountered a strange situation: 20 proxy IP with tools to detect all green, but the actual capture of data crazy error. Later, I realized thatData center IP segments are blocked on the target website, switching static residential agents immediately solves the problem.
