App Settings — Proxies

If a website is protected from crawling, proxies can help bypass these protections and ensure your monitoring runs smoothly. 

• We recommend using dedicated or residential proxies for optimal performance.
• The number of URLs a proxy can handle depends on the website being monitored. Websites with more aggressive anti-bot algorithms will block proxies faster. 
  We recommend setting a low monitoring speed (in the project settings, set the maximum speed to 1 page per second) and using the User Agent of a standard browser (for example Google Chrome) for more reliable results.

Here’s how to set up and use proxies in LiMonity:

    1. Enable Proxies: Turn on the proxy feature by enabling the appropriate button in LiMonity.

    2. Add Proxies:

• From a TXT File: Upload your list of proxies from a TXT file.
• Manually: Enter proxy details manually if you prefer.

    
    3. Verify Proxies: Ensure that the proxies you add are valid and working. 

    4. To delete proxies, simply select the rows and click "delete." 

FAQs:

How does the program use proxies?

When monitoring starts, LiMonity selects proxies from your added list and begins monitoring. If a proxy becomes invalid during the process, it is deactivated. Once all proxies are invalid, the tool stops monitoring, and you'll receive a notification. To fix this, simply remove the inactive proxies and add new ones. The tool can also wait 15 minutes and retry monitoring if the proxies become valid again.

Do you support rotating proxies?
Not yet, but you can add or vote for this feature on our forum.

What proxies do you support?
We support HTTPS proxies.

What type of proxies do you recommend?
We recommend using dedicated or residential proxies for the best performance.

How many pages can one proxy handle?
It depends on the website being monitored. Sites with stricter anti-bot measures may block proxies faster.

How can I monitor websites with aggressive anti-bot algorithms?
For websites with stronger anti-bot defenses, we recommend setting a lower monitoring speed (in project settings, set the maximum speed to 1 page per second) and using a common User Agent, like Google Chrome, for more reliable results.
