Forget ping—it’s useless for real-world proxy testing. I use JMeter to flood the proxy with requests and see how it holds up.
Free tools like ProxyBench can also test proxy speed and uptime.
Anonymity? Check sites like hide.me—they’ll tell you if your proxy’s leaking like a sieve.
Pro tip: Test during peak hours. That’s when the trash proxies die.
