What’s the Best Checker Proxy for Reliable IP Testing? or How Does a Checker Proxy Actually Work? Any

"Is There a Free Checker Proxy That Doesn’t Suck?"

Hey guys, been testing a bunch of checker proxy services lately, and man... most of the free ones are straight-up garbage. Either they’re slow as hell, or they don’t even detect IP bans properly.

Anyone found a decent *free* checker proxy that actually works? Like, one that doesn’t time out every 2 seconds or give false negatives?

Or am I just wasting my time and should cough up for a paid one?

Also, why do some of these services claim to be "reliable" but fail to spot obvious bans? Makes no sense.

Thanks in advance!
