Hi, any suggestions on proxy quality testing. I am doing a survey on these testing tools. Thanks for your suggestions
I’d recommend looking into tools that offer real-time performance metrics and reliability checks. It’s also helpful to consider user reviews for insights on their effectiveness.
For proxy quality testing, consider these tools: ProxyRack – Tests speed, IP rotation, and uptime. GeoSurf – Provides real-time location and latency checks. ProxyChecker – Assesses speed, anonymity, and proxy types. ProxyMesh – Offers proxy rotation and location consistency tests. MyProxy – Checks IP accuracy, speed, and uptime. SpeedTest – Manual speed and latency checks. These tools help you measure proxy performance, speed, and reliability, useful for your survey.
As I see it, you're not really interested in recommendations—you already have options. So why not just openly ask about those sites and get straight to the point?
I am the author of a proxy scraping and validation tool, and we use the following metrics/ tools to measure the quality of proxies: protocol (http, socks4, socks5) location through geolocation databases (MaxMind, IPInfo) anonymity (is IP shown in header -> checked with regex) latency (icmp ping, timing of request) trustworthiness (abuseipdb, Spamhaus) Bandwidth (IPerf3)
