Some websites may have their own proxy markup, so if necessary, you can create your own parsing structure for almost any format and test it on a specific source using the tester. By clicking the Structure fields reference (3) button, you can get a description of the available fields.

"Test Source" Tab​

Source address - here you should specify the website address from which proxies will be parsed.

Selected structure - select the parsing rule you added earlier from the Structure List tab.

Then, click the Test button to start testing.

In the Test result window, you will see the proxies found according to the parsing rule.

Attention

After closing the Builder window or clicking cancel, parsing results will not be saved.
