OM2 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I need to Web scrape a website I need to access from different ip addresses I've found a website that gives out ip numbers to use for free The problem is that they change + old ones don't work after a certain time Is there anyway I can test and make sure an ip address is working before using? What happens if I use an ip address that isn't working? Does the real ip address of my server get sent instead? Thanks OM Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/293983-how-do-i-check-if-an-ip-address-is-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You can ping the IP and see if you get a response. Sounds like you are doing something you know isn't ok if you need to vary the IP addresses you are scraping from to try to mask yourself.
