Systems and methods to manage and efficiently implement functional proxy services are disclosed. In the proxy services, a single instance of exit-node is connected to at least two or multiple supernodes at any given time. One of the plurality of supernodes is configured to ping and send diagnostic requests to the connected exit-node through a network. The exit-node is directed to send the pong message and diagnostic response data to a different supernode from among the plurality of supernodes connected to the exit-node. Likewise, a client's request is received by an element of the proxy service provider and forwarded to a specific supernode capable of forwarding the client's request to the exit-node. After performing the client's request, the exit-node returns response data to a different supernode from among the plurality of supernodes connected to the exit-node.

Transmitting request and response information through different proxies

Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.
