How Can I Check Proxy Settings to Ensure My Connection is Secure? or What's the Best Way to Check Pro

For privacy, always cross-check with DNSLeakTest.com after you check proxy settings. Speed? Fast.com or Speedtest.net before/after.

Built-in tools are okay, but third-party ones like ProxyScrape give more deets.

Also, *why* are you using a proxy? That affects how often you should test.
