Creating a new pool of proxies

ProxyChain allows you to create a pool with multiple chains of proxy servers. A pool can be customized to contain more than one chain; and each chain in a pool can ,by turn, consist of any number of proxy servers.

ProxyChain allows you to rearrange the order of chains in a pool at specified intervals of time or every specified number of requests. This feature ensures your connection with the proxy servers is always dynamic and consequently makes it difficult to track your IP address.
