Manual/Browser Test

Test a proxy manually in your browser to determine whether an issue is caused by the proxy, bot protection, or another part of your setup.

How Can I Determine If a Proxy Is Blocked on a Website?

Section titled “How Can I Determine If a Proxy Is Blocked on a Website?”

If you suspect a proxy is blocked because automation software is receiving bot protection errors, CAPTCHAs, failed requests, we recommend performing a manual browser test before open a support ticket.

Manual testing helps determine whether the issue is related to the proxy itself or another factor such as your software configuration, browser fingerprint, cookies, account, or automation setup.
