Why Use a Proxy Checker?

Proxies help protect your privacy, bypass geo-restrictions, and enhance security. However, not all proxies work properly. Some may be slow, blocked, or unreliable. That’s why checking your proxies before using them is crucial.

  • Ensure Reliability: Avoid downtime by testing your proxies beforehand.
  • Save Time: Quickly filter out dead or slow proxies.

Difference Between HTTP and SOCKS5 Proxies

Understanding the difference between HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies can help you choose the best option for your needs.

HTTP Proxies

These proxies are mainly used for web browsing. They can handle only HTTP and HTTPS traffic. They are useful for web scraping, SEO tools, and accessing region-restricted content.

SOCKS5 Proxies

SOCKS5 proxies are more versatile and can handle all types of internet traffic, including gaming, torrenting, and VoIP calls. They offer better security and speed compared to HTTP proxies.

Common Proxy Errors and How to Fix Them

Sometimes, proxies fail to work due to various reasons. Here are some common proxy errors and how you can fix them:

  • Proxy Timeout: The proxy server is slow or unavailable. Try another proxy.
  • 403 Forbidden: The website has blocked the proxy. Use a different one.
  • Connection Refused: The proxy is down. Verify the IP and port.
  • DNS Resolution Failed: The proxy might be incorrectly configured.
