How does scrapebox differentiate between SOCKS proxy and an HTTP proxy - dada5000 - 07-25-2019
According to https://scrapeboxfaq.com/proxies
"Yes scrapebox can use SOCKS proxies, but you need to append a S to the beginning of each proxy. Like
195.195.195.195:80
Would be
S195.195.195.195:80"
However, If I am using the Proxy Harvester, some pages will include both HTTP and SOCKS proxy on the same pages. What should I then do?
1) in the Proxy Harvester view, do I select "Source is a socks source"?
2) Is there an automatic way for Scrapebox to detect SOCKS proxies and amend an S to them?
Thanks,

Yes, in the manage >> configuration >> try to detect proxy type.
