📦 Installation

From Source (Recommended)

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rotating-mitmproxy.git
cd rotating-mitmproxy
pip install -e .

From PyPI (Coming Soon)

pip install rotating-mitmproxy

🚀 Quick Start

1. Create Proxy List

Create a proxies.txt file with your proxy servers:

proxy1.example.com:8080
proxy2.example.com:8080
user:[e-mail]:8080
socks5://proxy4.example.com:1080

2. Start the Server

# Basic usage - handles 100+ concurrent requests perfectly
rotating-mitmproxy --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090

# With web monitoring interface
rotating-mitmproxy --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090 --web-port 9091

# With different strategies
rotating-mitmproxy --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090 --strategy round_robin
rotating-mitmproxy --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090 --strategy smart
rotating-mitmproxy --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090 --strategy random

# Web interface mode (for development/debugging)
rotating-mitmproxy-web --proxy-list proxies.txt --port 9090 --web-port 9091

3. Monitor Performance

• Statistics API: http://localhost:9091/stats
• Health check: http://localhost:9091/health
• Web dashboard: http://localhost:9091 (web mode only)

4. Use the Proxy

# Test with curl
curl -x http://localhost:9090 https://httpbin.org/ip

# Set environment variables
export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:9090
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:9090

import requests

# Configure your HTTP client to use the rotating proxy
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://localhost:9090',
    'https': 'http://localhost:9090'
}

# All requests automatically rotate through your proxy list
response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())  # Shows different IP each time!

🌍 50+ unique proxy IPs used (perfect rotation)
⚡ Average response time: 1.2s
⏱️  Total completion time: 21s (true parallelism)

📊 Monitoring & Logging

Verbose Logging Levels

Control output detail with --verbose option:

--verbose quiet

• Production environments: Only errors and warnings
• Automated scripts: Minimal noise

--verbose stats (default)

• General monitoring: Periodic statistics every 30 seconds

📊 STATS: 45 requests, 91.1% success, 8/10 healthy proxies
   #1 proxy1.com:8080: 0.95 health, 94.4% success

--verbose requests

• Development/debugging: Show each request/response

→ GET https://httpbin.org/ip via proxy1.com:8080
← 200 https://httpbin.org/ip (0.45s)

--verbose debug

• Deep debugging: Everything including headers and internals

• Use case: Load balancing, fair usage distribution
• Performance: Excellent with 100+ concurrent requests

Random

• Perfect for: Unpredictable traffic patterns
• Use case: Avoiding detection, randomized requests
• Performance: Good randomization with healthy proxy filtering

Fastest

• Perfect for: Performance-critical applications
• Use case: Speed-optimized requests, latency-sensitive apps
• Performance: Automatically selects lowest-latency proxies

Smart (Default)

• Perfect for: Balanced performance and reliability
• Combines multiple factors:
  • Health score (30%)
  • Success rate (25%)
  • Response time (20%)
  • Recent performance (25%)
