If you\u2019re scanning a huge number of proxies and ports, your ISP is likely to have an issue.<\/p>\n<p>This is partly because scanning for so many proxies and ports is often coupled with harmful behavior (like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/learning\/ddos\/what-is-a-ddos-attack\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DDoS attack<\/a>), but it\u2019s also a serious drain on ISP services.

The service was originally created for the professional scanning community \u2014 those network admins detailed above \u2014 and is still primarily used for that purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The NMap software supports a number of proxy identifiers, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Host discovery<\/strong>. This is your basic proxy scan that checks to see if an IP is \u201calive\u201d or \u201cdead\u201d (if it will respond or not).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Port scanning<\/strong>. You can find which ports are open on certain IP addresses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Version and OS detection<\/strong>. This is a sophisticated tool that can show you what application is being used on a proxy, and what OS the proxy is running on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the basic uses of NMap, but, as the site notes, with a high level of technical expertise, the options are pretty endless. NMap defaults to SYN proxy scanning, which is the most common and fastest type of scan, but it has a <a href=\"https:\/\/nmap.org\/book\/man-port-scanning-techniques.html\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>huge list of other methods<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0if SYN will not work, or is not the scan type you want to use.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"angry-ip-scanner-free\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Angry_IP_Scanner_%E2%80%93_Free\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/angryip.org\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angry IP Scanner<\/a> \u2013 Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another free proxy scanner, Angry IP Scanner (also known as ipscan) is also <strong>open source<\/strong> and works across multiple platforms.

I\u2019m aware that the actual how-to of proxy scanning may not be clear as of yet.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that each program is slightly di\ufb00erent. In general, you will want to start by finding a free public proxy list that has been updated recently. You can search for these on Google.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, because you are doing your own scan of the proxies, you\u2019ll weed out the ones that don\u2019t work. Some of the tools above also have options to find safe public proxies, but that\u2019s another subject entirely.<\/p>\n<p>After finding your list, copy and paste them into the application software window that accepts proxies. Depending on the tool it might ask for a file import \u2014 if this is the case, make sure to download your free proxy list as a file type that is accepted by the application.<\/p>\n<p>After doing this you\u2019ll see that huge list in the window of your proxy scanner. Depending on the list and your tool\u2019s options, you can then set a number of parameters, like what port to scan, a number of parallels sockets, and how long the connection timeout should be.<\/p>\n<p>After that, simply click the \u201cscan\u201d button. Depending on your search list and internet connection speed, you should have a list of checked proxies in a few minutes.
