This guide provides step-by-step instructions on testing our proxies using a Python script.
The script fulfills customers' expectations for advanced proxy testing, offering crucial information such as:
Successful requests:
Errors:
Success Rate:
Unique IPs:
Duplicate IPs:
Geo accuracy:
Fastest latency:
Longest latency:
Average latency:
Time to run:
Additionally, it generates a text file with proxy errors in the same folder as the script.
Installation:
Windows:
Download the latest version of Python from the official Python website:
Run the installer, ensuring to check the option that says "Add Python to PATH" during the installation process.
Verify Python installation by opening the Command Prompt and typing:
python --version
After installing Python, install the
requestsmodule by executing the following command in the Terminal:pip install requests
macOS:
Python is preinstalled on macOS. Verify the version with this command:
python3 --version
Afterward, install the
requestsmodule by executing the following command in the Terminal:pip3 install requests
Launching the Script:
Download the script file from the following link: soax_checker.py
Open your Terminal and navigate to the path where your script is located:
Windows example:
cd C:\Users\mikes\Desktop\Proxytests
macOS example:
cd /Users/mikes/downloads/Proxytests
Run the script with the following command:
Windows:
python soax_checker.py
macOS:
python3 soax_checker.py
The script will prompt you to provide details:
Ports range (e.g., 9001-49998): 9001-9001
Requests to make: 100
Login: <your package login>
Password: wifi;usHere are the results you'll get:
Successful requests: 99
Errors: 1
Success Rate: 99.00%
Unique IPs: 98
Duplicate IPs: 1
Geo accuracy: US:99
Fastest latency: 0.99 seconds
Longest latency: 15.20 seconds
Average latency: 3.35 seconds
Time to run: 15.41 seconds
Done, you have successfully tested the proxy! 🎉
