PConT - Proxy Automation Tool

Introduction

Hello Everyone!

You might have heard about how proxychains work, but a major drawback is the need to manually search for free proxies and configure the /etc/proxychains.conf file.

To solve this, PConT automates the entire process. Below, you’ll find steps on how to use this tool and the expected output. Thanks for using the tool, and feedback is appreciated!

Important Notes

  • The proxies are sourced from proxyscrape.com. I do not own them.
  • A new feature is coming soon to mitigate potential proxy-related issues.
  • While I cannot guarantee 100% safety, these proxies are safer than most VPNs.
