HIDE MY ASS! Build Status

Hide My Ass! fetches and connects to proxies at www.hidemyass.com.

This ruby gem aims to connect you anonymously, it fetches proxies from hidemyass.com and tries each one until a successful connection is made.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hidemyass'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hidemyass

Usage

HideMyAss.options[:max_concurrency] = 3
response = HideMyAss.get("www.google.com", timeout: 2)
=> #<Typhoeus::Response @options={:return_code=>:ok ...>

HideMyAss::Request.get will try successive proxies until one returns an HTTP code (between 200 and 300).

If you want more control, you can retrieve the proxies list and connect manually

HideMyAss.proxies.each do |proxy|
  request = Typhoeus::Request.post(base_url, options)
  request.on_complete do |response|

    if # some success condition...
      @response = response
      HideMyAss.hydra.abort
    end
  end
end

@response # holds successful response

To clear the cached proxies on every request (disabled by default):

HideMyAss.options[:clear_cache] = true

or simply run:

HideMyAss.clear_cache

Roadmap

  • Hijack HTTP requests automatically
  • Get proxies form other page numbers (currently first 50 results only)
  • Improve tests suite
  • Clean code and refactor
