Check HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies online. Test proxy connection, HTTP status, transfer time, bytes read, and expected bandwidth usage for free

Overview

Check proxy connection, HTTP Status, and bandwidth

Paste one proxy or a proxy list to test connection results, HTTP response status, transfer time, bytes read, and expected bandwidth usage

One test per line through that proxy (uses protocol and size above). # starts a comment line.

No setup, no SDK, no browser extension. Just paste your proxy credentials and get a verifiable measurement in under a minute

Designed for the job

Use the result, then tune the route

Run the check, note what it exposes, and use the result to decide whether the proxy, browser, or DNS configuration needs adjustment.

01

Run

Use the tool with the exact proxy or browser configuration you want to evaluate.

02

Interpret

Separate a network finding from a browser, DNS, or destination-specific behavior.

03

Adjust

Change one variable at a time, then run the check again to verify the improvement.

Deep dive

Three steps to check your proxy

Enter one proxy or multiple proxies in host:port or host:port:user:password format. The checker supports HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies

Gateproxies tests the proxy connection, HTTP status, transfer time, and selected payload size through the proxy tunnel

See whether the proxy connects, how long the transfer took, how many bytes were read, and whether the result matches the expected and charged bandwidth usage

Use standard proxy credentials and keep account secrets private.

Workflow

Transparent proxy billing? Not all providers deliver it

01 · Run the diagnostic

Run the diagnostic with the intended setup.

02 · Read the signal

Read the signal the tool actually measured.

03 · Check the environment

Check whether browser, proxy, or DNS context changes it.

04 · Change one variable

Change one variable at a time.

05 · Run it again

Run the test again to verify the result.

06 · Keep the verified setup

Keep the verified setup available for later checks.

Details

The best-value proxies that don’t pad your bill

Choose the package that matches expected traffic and session length; current availability is shown in the account.

Test the target with a small route first, then adjust location, session length, and protocol based on observed behavior.

Use standard host, port, username, and password fields in browsers, scripts, and routing tools.

Use the location controls available for the selected product; city and deeper coverage vary by market.

Practical guidance

Interpret the result carefully

A diagnostic is a decision aid. It should tell you what to investigate next, not promise a universal answer.

01

Signal

Identify what the tool actually measured.

02

Context

Compare it with the browser, proxy, and destination setup.

03

Next

Make one controlled change and test again.

FAQ

FAQs

Yes. Pick residential, mobile, or ISP Premium based on risk and session needs, then point your tool at the proxy host from the dashboard.
Residential and mobile use per-GB packages (billed monthly or pay as you go). ISP Premium is priced per IP. There are no free unlimited plans.
HTTPS works for most browser and scraper stacks. SOCKS5 is available when your tool prefers it.
Yes on eligible products. Hold the same IP for multi-step flows, or rotate per request for bulk collection.
