Proxy System (EC2)

A self-hosted rotating-proxy pool built on Amazon EC2. It manages a fleet of EC2 instances as proxies, hands one out on request, and rotates its public IP (or spins up a fresh instance) whenever you need a new address — giving you an endless supply of clean IPs without paying for a proxy service.

Built on top of ec2_proxy (the per-instance proxy control library) and boto3.

Status: work in progress.

How it works

• On startup, the Manager discovers all EC2 instances in your account (minus an exclusion list) and ensures they're running as proxies.
• serve() hands out a proxy; when you're done with an IP, the instance it came from is queued to restart and pick up a new public IP.
• make_new_proxy() launches a brand-new instance from a configured AMI to grow the pool.
• A background thread auto-manages restarting/rotating instances so fresh IPs are always available.
