How to test proxies

First, a public IP echo. Then the URLs you are allowed to open. Speed to Cloudflare is not a Google pass rate. We do not print one.

Jobs we will not help with

  • Sneaker or ticket tests
  • Google/Amazon pass-rate theatre
  • Open proxy list laundering

Three checks, in order

One: can the client reach a public IP echo through the proxy? That is what the online checker does. It returns success or an error, a timer, and the exit IP. It is not IP-API hosting classification, and it is not a “known proxy” database.

Two: does your allowed URL return the page you meant to collect? That test is yours. Retries still bill. Three: is the unit the one you bought? A per-IP lease that you test like a rotating gigabyte is the wrong experiment.

What this checker will not do

It will not take fifty proxies from a pastebin. It will not open Amazon, Google, or a sneaker site. It will not call private IPs. SOCKS5 is documented, not mixed into the HTTP box. If you need that protocol, test it in the client the vendor gave you.

FAQ

How to Test Proxies

Why not test 50 proxies at once?

This is a confirmation that the four fields work, not a scanner for open lists. One proxy, a public echo, a timer. Your URL list is the rest of the test.

Does a fast echo mean the proxy works on Google?

No. An echo is an echo. Search engines are a different target. We do not publish a Google success rate.
