Proxy Tester
Test HTTP and SOCKS proxies, detect protocol support, measure response speed, confirm the final exit IP, and find the fastest proxy by country or region before using a list.
Check proxy health and protocol support
Paste one proxy per row, choose a target URL, and run a remote HTTP/SOCKS test.
Accepted: HOST:PORT, HOST:PORT:USER:PASS, USER:PASS@HOST:PORT, or http:// / socks:// with optional USER:PASS.
Proxy health results
Validated proxy rows are ready for review, selection, and copy actions.
Region Winners
Fastest proxy, average speed, protocol, and count for each detected country or region.
| Proxy | Status | Protocol | Final IP | Location | Speed | HTTP |
|---|
Proxy testing is performed remotely by TestMyProxies.com. Only public HTTP/HTTPS test URLs are allowed.
What the proxy tester checks
Use the result signals together to separate a dead proxy from a formatting, protocol, authentication, or target-specific problem.
Connection status
Confirm whether the proxy can reach the selected public HTTP or HTTPS target.
HTTP or SOCKS support
Identify the protocol that works before adding the proxy to a browser, script, or app.
Speed and response
Compare practical response time and the HTTP status returned by the test target.
Exit IP and location
Verify the detected exit address and its approximate country or region.
Common proxy test results
A failed row is a diagnosis, not always a dead proxy. Use the matching next step before replacing it.
Ready for review
Check speed, exit IP, location, and HTTP response before copying the row.
Connection took too long
Retry once with a longer timeout and a stable public test URL.
Credentials were rejected
Verify username and password order and confirm any IP-whitelist requirement.
HTTP or SOCKS did not match
Retry with the correct protocol prefix supported by the proxy and destination software.
Proxy Tester FAQ
How does the proxy tester work?
The tool sends each proxy through TestMyProxies.com to the selected public test URL, then reports connection status, working protocol, response speed, final exit IP, HTTP status, and approximate location.
Which proxy formats are supported?
Use HOST:PORT, HOST:PORT:USER:PASS, USER:PASS@HOST:PORT, or protocol URLs such as http://host:port and socks://user:pass@host:port.
Are HTTP and SOCKS tested separately?
Yes. The tester checks HTTP and SOCKS support and selects the working protocol. An explicit socks:// prefix makes SOCKS the first protocol tested.
Can I test private authenticated proxies?
Yes. Username-and-password formats are supported for private datacenter, residential, rotating, and dedicated proxies. IP-whitelisted proxies must also allow the remote testing service.
How is the proxy location detected?
The tester uses the final exit IP returned by the proxy request and maps that IP to an approximate country or region. Location is a routing signal, not a precise physical address.
How many proxies can I test at once?
This page currently accepts up to 20 proxies per test to keep remote checks responsive and reliable.
Need proxies that pass the test?
Use reliable private proxies with predictable authentication and location options for repeatable browser, API, monitoring, and automation workflows.
Recommended next step
If a proxy fails, diagnose the exact cause
Separate credentials, protocol, timeout, DNS and destination errors before replacing the IP.
