stayml··on Show HN: Proxy.exposed – a simple tool for checking how anonymous a proxy is

Thanks and good point! (it's not happening, but I can understand the concern). I'll think about open sourcing the code for people to self-host.

I filter out any user agents that are invalid, but there's no way to see which are real or faked. The access logs include the useragent of every single site visitor - not only errors/bad actors.

Hm! It could just be a parsing error. The useragent in question is like this: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/108.0.1462.41

Coming soon! I separate them out for now as most scraping tasks require either desktop or mobile useragents and not both together

Good point, thanks. I'll add that in

Yes, this too. It should just be a -passable- sample of what's popular and seen on the web

Thanks! And yep, fair comment, and I had noticed this as well even more so in last week's list. I have been thinking about how I could adjust the numbers in some way to counteract this or add another data source.
