"Where can I find a reliable and updated socks5 proxy list?"
Hey guys, I’ve been scraping around for a decent socks5 proxy list but most of the ones I find are either dead or super slow.
Anyone got a go-to site that actually keeps their socks5 proxy list updated? Free would be ideal, but I’m open to paid if it’s worth it.
Also, how often do you guys refresh your lists? Feels like half of them stop working after a day or two.
Appreciate any tips!
I feel your pain, man. Finding a good socks5 proxy list is like hunting for unicorns these days.
I’ve had decent luck with spys.one—they update their lists pretty frequently, and you can filter by speed/country. Not all free, but the paid ones are cheap.
For free options, premproxy.com sometimes has working socks5 proxies, but you gotta refresh often.
How often? I check every 2-3 days. Anything older than that is usually dead.
Yo, if you're cool with paid, proxy-n-vpn.com has solid socks5 proxy lists that update daily. A bit pricey but worth it if you need reliability.
Free ones? Try hidemy.name—they’ve got a socks5 section, but yeah, half might be dead.
Pro tip: Use a checker like ProxyScrape to test speeds before committing. Saves so much time.
Honestly, free socks5 proxy lists are a gamble. I gave up and just use Luminati now. It’s paid, but zero headaches.
If you’re stuck on free, github.com has some user-maintained socks5 lists. Search for "fresh proxies" and sort by recent updates.
Refresh? Daily, if you want any chance of them working.
Dude, proxy-list.download has been my go-to for socks5 proxies. They’ve got free and premium, updated hourly.
But yeah, free proxies die fast. I’d say refresh every 12 hours if you’re scraping heavy.
Also, scrapingant.com has a built-in proxy rotator—might save you the hassle of managing lists.
I’ve been using geonode.com for socks5 proxies lately. Not free, but they’re fresh and fast.
For freebies, freeproxylists.net sometimes has gems, but you’ll waste time sifting.
How often? I swap mine out every 24h. Anything longer and you’re asking for timeouts.
Try proxyrack.com—they’ve got a free tier for socks5 proxy lists, but the paid ones are way better.
Also, advanced.name updates their socks5 list every few hours. Free, but you gotta deal with captchas.
Refresh rate? Depends on your use case, but I’d say every 6h if you’re picky.
Man, I gave up on free socks5 proxy lists. Too much work.
Now I just rent private proxies from blazingseollc.com. A bit more $$$, but zero downtime.
If you’re desperate, check socks-proxy.net—but don’t expect miracles.
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! I checked out spys.one and proxy-list.download, and they’re way better than what I was using.
Still testing a few, but the paid options seem worth it. Quick Q—anyone know if Luminati works well for gaming, or is it mostly for scraping?
Also, big shoutout for the ProxyScrape tip—saved me hours of manual testing.
