How to manage rotating proxies?
My rotating proxy pool sometimes includes dead nodes, which breaks my automated scripts. How do you guys filter out the non-working ones without constantly pinging the whole list?

Dealing with dead nodes can be a real headache, especially when running long-term tasks. The most efficient way is to set up a quick validation step before executing the main script. You can use an online platform to perform a fast proxy check https://proxy-checker.net/en/ to filter out unresponsive IPs automatically. It saves so much processing time and prevents your bot from getting banned due to repeated timeouts from bad proxy servers.
