How to Test Your Proxies
Most proxy testing stops at "does it connect", which tells you almost nothing. A proxy can connect perfectly and still be useless for your job. The four things worth measuring are connectivity, geolocation accuracy, leaks, and success rate on your actual target — and the last one matters more than the other three combined. This guide gives you runnable commands for each, a script that tests a whole list concurrently, and the reason free proxy checker sites cannot answer the question you care about.
