proxy scraping

a.k.a. scraper

A proxy scraper is an automated tool that searches the internet to collect lists of public proxy server addresses, usually including IP address and port numbers. Users do this to route automated requests through different IP addresses to prevent the main system from getting blocked. Without proxies, a single computer sending fast, repetitive requests looks like an attack, triggering security measures quickly so proxies help avoid detection.
