Juzaweb Proxies Module

The Juzaweb Proxies Module is a comprehensive solution for managing, crawling, and testing proxies within your Juzaweb CMS application. It provides tools to maintain a pool of active proxies, verify their connectivity, and seamlessly integrate them into your application logic.

Features

• Proxy Management: Store and manage proxy details including IP, port, protocol, and authentication credentials.
• Automated Testing: Schedule regular checks to ensure proxies are active and responsive.
• On-Demand Testing: Manually test specific proxies via Artisan commands.
• Proxy Allocation: Retrieve available ("free") proxies for use in your application, with concurrency handling.
• Admin Interface: Configure settings and view proxy status directly from the Juzaweb Admin Panel.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require juzaweb/proxies

Configuration

Database Settings

The module uses the following settings keys which can be configured via the Juzaweb Admin Panel (Settings -> Proxies) or directly in the database:

• proxy_test_url: The URL used to verify proxy connectivity (Default: https://translate.google.com).
• proxy_test_timeout: The timeout duration in seconds for proxy connection tests (Default: 20).
• proxy_auto_test_enable: Enable automatic hourly testing of proxies (Set to 1 to enable).

Scheduler

To enable the automatic proxy checker, ensure your application's scheduler is running. If proxy_auto_test_enable is set to 1, the module will register a scheduled command to check proxies hourly.

php artisan schedule:run

Usage

Artisan Commands

The module provides several Artisan commands for managing proxies from the command line.

Check Proxies

Run a check on all available (free) proxies in the database.

php artisan proxy:check

You can also check a specific proxy by providing its address:

php artisan proxy:check --proxy=192.168.1.1:8080

Test Connectivity

Test the connectivity of a specific proxy configuration.

php artisan proxy:test <ip> <port> [protocol]

Example:

php artisan proxy:test 127.0.0.1 8080 https

Programmatic Usage

You can use the Juzaweb\Modules\Proxies\Contracts\ProxyManager contract to interact with proxies in your code.

Retrieve a Random Active Proxy

To get a random proxy that is currently active:

use Juzaweb\Modules\Proxies\Contracts\ProxyManager;

$proxyManager = app(ProxyManager::class);
$proxy = $proxyManager->random();

if ($proxy) {
    // Use the proxy
    echo $proxy->ip . ':' . $proxy->port;
}

Retrieve and Reserve an Available Proxy

To get an available ("free") proxy and mark it as in-use (setting is_free to false):

use Juzaweb\Modules\Proxies\Contracts\ProxyManager;

$proxyManager = app(ProxyManager::class);
$proxy = $proxyManager->free();

if ($proxy) {
    // The proxy is now marked as not free.
    // Use the proxy...
}

Helper Functions

The module provides global helper functions for working with proxy strings:

• is_proxy_format(string $proxy): bool - Validates if a string is in the format IP:PORT.
• parse_proxy_string_to_array(string $proxy): array - Parses a proxy string into an array with keys ip, port, protocol, created_at, and updated_at.
