Free Web Proxy Checker


A problem with most proxy servers and web proxies is that many tend to stop working after a while. The majority of web proxy servers are rather short lived with only a minority of popular ones that make it past the first six months of their existence. There are many reasons for this with the most prominent ones being shut down by the hosting company or by the webmaster who is not able to monetize the server properly to keep up with the increasing bandwidth demand.

The web proxy checker is a lightweight tool for the Windows operating system that can check various proxy servers. The types that it can check are:

  • SOCKS4
  • SOCKS5
  • HTTP
  • HTTPS

The user who wants to check proxies can either load them from a text file or paste urls that point to proxies in the interface directly. The free web proxy checker will then parse the urls or text documents line by line and check the proxy servers against the rules configured by the user.

It is possible to check the proxy server against a url (the default is the Gmail url) or a host name and port with a ping always being performed in the beginning to sort out bad proxies immediately that do not respond positively.

The web proxy checker comes with extensive options from selecting random user agents, connection settings, detecting a proxy server’s country of origin or running a distribution web server to logging options and statistics. Some of the options are for advanced users only but users with little to no knowledge should be able to start their first proxy check in under five minutes with the default configuration.

Web Proxy Checker is available for download at the developer’s website. It is compatible with most versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system including Windows 7.

    I got accustomed to Charon, use it for years. Besides I doubt this free checker can eliminate duplicates automatically which is very important when dealing with numerous proxy lists.
