Test HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies - Auto-detect protocol, validate authentication, and measure performance.
Protocol Auto-Detection: Automatically detects HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols
HTTP/HTTPS Test: Validates connectivity through standard web proxies
SOCKS5 Test: Checks SOCKS5 support including UDP protocol
Latency Test: Measures connection speed and response time
Note: All proxy formats support authentication. SOCKS5 provides UDP protocol support for advanced use cases.
Compare local and proxy-side DNS in curl and Python Requests. Test hostname resolution and understand what a browser DNS leak test establishes.
The most advanced proxy protocol for modern applications
SOCKS5 is an internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. Unlike HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 works at a lower level and supports any type of traffic.
SOCKS5 offers superior flexibility and performance compared to HTTP proxies, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable, fast connections.
