Socks Proxy Finder AKA Pfinder

Socks Proxy Finder or Pfinder is a program to scan for Socks proxies.

A comment from a person in China said that

Proxy Hunter could miss Socks proxies that Pfinder

would find. Pfinder does not allow entry of a

string to match up with a webpage, and it

does not allow a webpage URL to be entered

(unlike Proxy Hunter).

This time I will give you a great tool to download. No ads, virus, spyware. Not even going to use sharecash in this one, you just need to click the link and Download!

But the file is hosted on a free file sharing website on the deep web, so you need to access it through your Tor browser.

If you don't know how to get the Tor browser you can see on this Link

There is a lot of interest around the Dark Web to get some Socks proxies. Normally people will pay a lot of money for some Socks that will only work for a few days. With this small and old application (Socks Proxy Finder) you can find your own Socks proxy.

You do not need to install Socks Proxy Finder on your computer, you just need to unpack it and run.

Steps to use it:

• You need to select the IP range to search (you need to find the IP range correct for the zone you want to “emulate”).


• Select the port you wish to use. The default 1080 should be just fine.


• On the Test site part you can put an IP from some random working page to test the poxies you find with.


• Connection timeout: you can leave the standard and change after, but it is the ammount of time a proxy will try to connect to the test site.


• Finally just press Start and the program will begin scanning the IP range selected.

This is a very old application, from 1998. Personally I like the older applications because they are very basic and straight forward to use.

If you did not know about it give it a try, its free anyway :)
