## Description

PROXY-List is a public proxy aggregator that provides data structures for storing and aggregating publicly available HTTP and SOCKS proxy server addresses. It serves as a source for retrieving network traffic routing lists used to mask origin IP addresses during web requests.

The project utilizes a data pipeline to automatically scrape, poll, and serialize proxy lists from multiple public websites. This infrastructure ensures the availability of active servers through scheduled periodic polling and automated content refreshes, delivering the resulting lists as plain text files.

These capabilities support network traffic anonymization and the maintenance of web scraping infrastructure by distributing outgoing requests across a pool of rotating public proxy addresses to avoid rate limits and IP bans.
