Show me a site with 50K verified open proxies - I ain't talking proxies from 6 months ago, or hosts that happen to be listening on a proxy port but aren't really proxies - and I'll show you my dick. OK, I won't really show my dick, since page-widening posts are generally considered rude.. ;)
Seriously though, I doubt there's any site out there with 50K proxies, not even the DNSBLs have that many listed (we feed into the Osirusoft DNSBL, btw).
There are some bullshitter sites like
a) tools.rosinstrument.com - OK, do you really trust a site whose scripts are so fucked up that they
still report the current year as "103"? Y2K was 3 years ago. If they haven't fixed
that yet, I wonder what else they haven't fixed... Like, oh, maybe, their proxy testing/scanning engine...
b) atomintersoft.com - they claim "422210 proxy servers in database" but you notice they don't bother to mention how many are open. There aren't 420K open proxies in the world right now, let alone in a single database. Try using 10 or so of the "proxies" listed at atomintersoft as proxies in your browser. Once you get past the first page of recently checked proxies, half of em won't work. Straight from page 2 of their site,
"149.156.9.242:8080 w3cache.cyf-kr.edu.pl Transparent No 3/30/2003 9:29:46 PM 96.77"
...Well guess what:
$ telnet 149.156.9.242 8080
Trying 149.156.9.242...
telnet: connect to address 149.156.9.242: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
There are a lot of bullshitters out there when it comes to proxies. I ain't one of em.
