Freenodes is a web scraper that automatically collects and updates free proxy nodes for v2ray and clash proxy tools.
The tool addresses the need to maintain current lists of free proxy nodes by crawling various sources and automatically refreshing the collected data. It supports multiple proxy protocols including Shadowsocks, Trojan, VLESS, and VMESS, making the collected nodes compatible with both v2ray and clash clients. The scraper handles the repetitive task of finding working nodes across different sources and keeping them current without manual intervention.
This tool suits users who need access to free proxy nodes for v2ray or clash and want an automated solution rather than manually searching for and validating nodes. It is most appropriate for those comfortable running a Python-based scraper and managing the collected node lists. The project focuses specifically on free node collection with automatic updates, distinguishing it from manual node list maintenance.
The project shows active development with regular commits addressing bug fixes and feature improvements. The codebase demonstrates ongoing refinement of the scraping logic and node validation mechanisms. Updates appear driven by the practical need to maintain compatibility as proxy services and node availability change over time.
