Workflows
Choose the right ZeroTrace Proxy workflow for extraction, quality control, chains, and rotation.
ZeroTrace Proxy works best when each tool feeds the next one. The workflows below cover the most common paths.
Clean a Proxy List
- Open Check Proxies.
- Paste or load a list.
- Use protocol hint Auto.
- Keep HTTPS checking enabled.
- Filter to alive rows.
- Save to a pool.
Best next step: Build a Quality Pool.
Scrape and Normalize Sources
- Open Scrape Proxies.
- Choose Single, Many, File, or Cloud.
- Pick parser mode Auto unless the source needs HTML selector or JSON path control.
- Choose the dedupe mode.
- Run and review per-source metrics.
- Send extracted proxies to Check Proxies.
Best next step: Extract and Check Proxies.
Validate Quality Before Use
- Check proxies.
- Save alive rows to a pool.
- Benchmark the pool for repeated stability.
- Leak-test the benchmark winners.
- Export or save the final rows to a production pool.
Best next step: Benchmark and Leak Test.
Build a Chain
- Open Test Proxy Chains.
- Paste explicit chains or enable autonomous harmony.
- Review grades, hop support, failed hop, and exit IP.
- Save a working chain in Chain Engine -> Chains.
- Start a local runtime for the saved chain.
Best next step: Run a Chain Runtime.
Rotate a Pool
- Build a checked pool.
- Open Rotation Engine -> Rotators.
- Add the pool as a source.
- Choose round robin, random, or least recently used.
- Attach a policy.
- Start the runtime.
- Point a compatible client at the local endpoint.
Best next step: Run a Rotation Runtime.
The engine pages are for durable local endpoints. The core tools are for one-off discovery, testing, and cleanup.
