Manual Proxy Tester

Not all proxies are created equal. Some are speed demons, others are duds—and most fall somewhere in between.

If you're relying on proxies for scraping, testing geo-restricted sites, or maintaining anonymity, knowing whether a proxy works *before* using it is essential. That’s where this manual proxy tester comes in.

What This Tool Does

This tester sends a request through the proxy to a target URL (default: httpbin.org). It checks for basic connectivity, optional keyword matching, and HTTP response status. Fast, flexible, and fuss-free.

IP Address: Port: Target URL (optional): Text to Match (optional): Test Proxy

Common Use Cases

• Scraping: Test before deploying proxies in your rotation pool
• SEO Tools: Validate proxies before SERP scraping
• Geo Checks: Verify if a proxy can reach a regional service
• General Debugging: Figure out why your proxy might be failing

How to Use

1. Paste the proxy IP and port
2. Optionally add a test URL and keyword to match
3. Click Test Proxy
4. Review the results below

Behind the Scenes

This tester uses a Python backend to send curl-style HTTP requests through the proxy. If the site responds and contains the expected keyword (if supplied), the proxy passes the test. Simple as that.

Final Thoughts

One proxy test can save you hours of frustration. Run them here first. It’s fast, free, and designed with power users in mind.

Happy testing—your scraper deserves it.
