How to Test if Your Proxy Connection Is Working

After configuring your proxy, you can use the test commands provided in the SK5Data dashboard to verify that your proxy connection is working properly.

Steps:

1. Log in to the SK5Data dashboard and go to the corresponding proxy product's usage page.
2. Obtain the proxy hostname, port, username, and password.
3. Copy the test command provided on the page, or use the following curl commands.

HTTP Proxy Test:

curl -L -x http://username:password@hostname:port ipinfo.io

SOCKS5 Proxy Test:

curl -L -x socks5://username:password@hostname:port ipinfo.io

Replace the connection parameters in the commands with your actual proxy information.

How to Interpret the Test Results

• Exit IP returned successfully: The proxy connection and IP lookup request were successful.
• Authentication failed: Check your username, password, or IP whitelist settings.
• Connection timed out: Check the proxy hostname, port, and network connection.

You can also visit https://ipinfo.io to check whether the exit IP's geolocation matches your expected location.

Note: Successfully retrieving a proxy exit IP does not guarantee access to all target websites. We recommend testing your target website or application before starting your tasks.
