wireproxy VS python-proxy

However, there are ways to be frugal like using VPNs that have high device limit and quality servers through wireproxy etc. Though note that this is a resource problem - would you spend your dev time figuring out how to setup your own proxy network and penny-pinch here or spend that time working on your product instead? That's why web scraping services are becoming so popular - it just handles all of this ugly mess for you (I might be bias :)

Wireproxy can do similar stuff: https://github.com/octeep/wireproxy

Though if you're interested in using VPNs as proxies I recommend looking into wireproxy which turns wireguard VPNs to proxy services. As many VPN services allow 5-10 simultaneous connections you can have a pool of 5-10 proxies for your web scrapers. This is a great, cheap solution for IP-based rate limiting.

Technically you could connect to Mullvad by generating a WireGuard config and feeding it into wghttp or wireproxy and then use a proxy-switching browser extension to use the proxy only for websites that don't break

FWIW, that fork is 6 years out of date, forked from https://github.com/qwj/python-proxy.

Hi everyone,I am learning Python and have made who has made a somewhat functional piece of programming, but it doesn't fully work like I'd like it to, and I need some assistance in trying to understand the library I am using, and how I can change my programming to work better, and have the functions I'd like, or the potential to use another library that offers the same ability to run a local socks5 proxy that relays connection to a remote socks5, HTTP or HTTPS proxy.Library in question: pproxy (https://github.com/qwj/python-proxy)
