Rotating MitmProxy

A smart proxy rotator built on mitmproxy that automatically rotates through multiple upstream proxies with health monitoring and failover.

Features

• Smart Proxy Rotation: Round-robin, random, fastest, and smart selection strategies
• Health Monitoring: Real-time proxy health scoring and automatic failover
• High Concurrency: Handles 100+ concurrent requests efficiently
• Multiple Formats: Supports HTTP/SOCKS proxies with authentication
• Web Dashboard: Real-time statistics and monitoring interface

Installation

pip install rotating-mitmproxy

Quick Start

1. Create a proxy list file

# proxy_list.txt
proxy1.example.com:8080
proxy2.example.com:8080
user:pass@proxy3.example.com:8080
socks5://proxy4.example.com:1080

2. Start the proxy server

python -m rotating_mitmproxy --proxy-list proxy_list.txt --port 3129

3. Use the proxy

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://localhost:3129',
    'https': 'http://localhost:3129'
}

response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())

Command Line Options

python -m rotating_mitmproxy [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --proxy-list FILE     Path to proxy list file (required)
  --port PORT          Listen port (default: 3129)
  --strategy STRATEGY  Selection strategy: round-robin, random, fastest, smart (default: smart)
  --health-check       Enable health checking (default: enabled)
  --web-port PORT      Web dashboard port (default: 8081, 0 to disable)
  --verbose LEVEL      Verbosity: quiet, normal, verbose (default: normal)

Proxy List Format

The proxy list file supports multiple formats:

# HTTP proxies
proxy1.example.com:8080
user:pass@proxy2.example.com:8080

# SOCKS proxies  
socks5://proxy3.example.com:1080
socks5://user:pass@proxy4.example.com:1080

# With protocol specification
http://proxy5.example.com:8080
https://proxy6.example.com:8080

Selection Strategies

• round-robin: Cycles through proxies in order
• random: Selects proxies randomly
• fastest: Prefers proxies with lowest response times
• smart: Combines health scoring with performance metrics (recommended)

Web Dashboard

Access the web dashboard at http://localhost:8081 to view:

• Real-time proxy statistics
• Health scores and response times
• Success/failure rates
• Active connections

Programmatic Usage

from rotating_mitmproxy import RotatingProxy

# Start proxy server
proxy = RotatingProxy(
    proxy_list_file="proxy_list.txt",
    port=3129,
    strategy="smart"
)

proxy.start()

# Use with requests
import requests
proxies = {'http': 'http://localhost:3129', 'https': 'http://localhost:3129'}
response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies)

# Stop server
proxy.stop()

Health Monitoring

The system automatically monitors proxy health by:

• Tracking response times and success rates
• Scoring proxies based on performance
• Temporarily disabling failed proxies
• Gradually re-enabling recovered proxies

Configuration

Environment variables:

export ROTATING_PROXY_LIST="proxy_list.txt"
export ROTATING_PROXY_PORT="3129"
export ROTATING_PROXY_STRATEGY="smart"
export ROTATING_PROXY_WEB_PORT="8081"
