Proxy Checker

The Proxy Checker tool is integrated into Proxifier but can be useful on its own. It allows you to test proxy servers to determine whether they will work with Proxifier.

With Proxy Checker, you can:

• test SOCKS v4(A), SOCKS v5, HTTPS, and HTTP proxy servers
• get an easy-to-understand report with recommendations for solving problems
• measure proxy server response time (latency)

To check a proxy with Proxy Checker, click the Check button in the Proxy Settings dialog. Alternatively, run the Proxy Checker manually by using the View -> Proxy Checker menu command or Start -> Programs -> Proxifier -> Proxy Checker (Windows start menu), then specify the proxy details using the Proxy Server button.

Use the Start Testing button to begin the test.

To adjust Proxy Checker settings, click the Test Settings button.

The following options are available:

• Work through Proxifier: Proxy Checker will bypass Proxifier when this option is disabled. This is the default value, and it should be changed only in a very specific scenario (e.g., the target proxy is not directly accessible).
• Target host and Port: Set the target host for the test connection.
• Load a default web page from the host: Enable making a test HTTP request to the host.
• You can enable/disable particular tests.

You may use and distribute Proxy Checker as a stand-alone application (ProxyChecker.exe). Proxy Checker is free for personal and noncommercial use.
