Issue with private proxies - Sandor - 08-28-2016
Hy Guys
I have a very dumm question think, because just beeing totally new in seo.
Many thanks for help
So when I am importing my private proxies into scrapbox (bought on myprivateproxies.com and buyproxies.org), they appear in the window of proxie manager/harvesting proxies, but when I click "start" they are highlighted with the error code 400 or 405. After this when I klick the button "apply", they even cant be applied, that after scrapbox could test them. So I just cant use them somehow.
when I test them on this website: http://testmyproxies.com they are ok.
Have tried already to import with ip:port:username:password, or just port or nake ip address and same happens.
Did anybody encounter this issue or knows the reason?
Thanks for answer.

They get those errors when doing what? Testing them?
Thats a "bad request" and "method not allowed" which scrapebox won't generate a request that would cause this.
So its possible its security software in your pc that is causing this, so white list Scrapebox in all anti-virus, malware checkers and firewalls.

Many thanks for answering, and sorry because of my explanation was not enough clear.
So it happens right after I import them into proxy manager - you have the option to import from txt or type the url, so I choose import from txt - and hitting the button start. Right after this at the status column you see the process"grabbing proxies" running for a few seconds, then it disappears and in the other column - next to it - called "proxies" status remains "0". After this you have the option to click apply and then choose "test all proxies". Than it runs for a bit longer, testing the proxies and at the end it remains everywhere red with the error code "error 404" in the column called "status" on the very right side.
Many thanks for your suggestions in your answer I try them.
Thanks a million

Sure mate, happy to help.
For starters it looks like your still using some version of V1 of Scrapebox. Your at least 72 versions out of date, if not a lot more.
In the harvester screen you put in website sources that you want to scrape proxies from. It looks like you loaded proxies in there, and you can't scrape proxies from proxies.
error 404 means the proxy is dead.
But before you do anything I would get the latest version.
You can download scrapebox from here:
http://www.scrapebox.com/payment-received
Unzip it to a folder on your desktop or in your documents folder.
