Description of the main settings
To open the main settings of the program click the corresponding button at the "Control" panel:

or at the quick access panel:
![]()
The Main settings window opens::

1. Internet connection profile
The Internet connection profile can function only as a part of ZennoPoster
Each profile only specifies restrictions on the maximum number of simultaneously running download and test threads. To achieve high speed performance select the last profile in the list. (As a result the program will require more computer and Internet channel resources).
2. Proxy check server address
You can specify addresses of proxy check scripts in the list.
The last version of the script is here.
Proxy-checker will select one of the addresses, which you can use at the moment. If an address is not available, it will be automatically redirected to another address from the list.
The "Selected" field shows the address which is used now.
Press the "Test"button to find the first working address from the list.
3. Proxy life span
You can specify in this field how many seconds a proxy will be saved in the list of "live" proxies ("Proxy" window ), if it has not been taken out of it for use. As soon as the specified period from the check moment is expired the proxy that has not been taken out "dies", i.e. returns from the list of "live proxies" back to the common base of proxies till the next check (next check period depends on the proxies rating).
For example, if we specify the parameter value as 600, the "live" list will always contain fresh proxies, checked not earlier than 10 minutes ago.
4. Limit of proxies
When the number of "live" proxies reaches the specified value, the proxy check temporarily stops. As soon as the number of proxies in the "live" list will be again less than the parameter value, the check will be automatically resumed. This mechanism prevents the program from extra work, when the number of proxies is sufficient.
If you don't want the Proxy-checker to pause, specify the value as 0.
Description of the program's additional settings
Apart from the main parameters, Proxy-checker has also additional parameters for more precise configuration.
The program's configuration file is in the XML format; its location is in the program's folder:
Settings\Configuration.xml
It contains a list of parameters in the following format:
<Parameter's_name>Parameter's_value</Parameter's_name>
See below the description of some additional parameters:
CheckServerInterval |
Script availability check interval in seconds. Default value: 20 |
SimpleCheckMode |
"Simple mode" of proxy check. When it is activated (true value), it doesn't require any availability check by https protocol from the script, i.e. the check script, available only in http is sufficient for a proxy check. However, in this case you cannot check proxies for http support. Default value: false Available only in version Pro. |
MinRecheckTime |
Minimal time (in seconds) for a proxy to be sent for a re-check. Default value: 300 |
DomainLockTime |
Domain lock interval, in seconds. Ban protection: the parameter limits multi-thread download from the sources with the same domain. The domain will be blocked for a specified period till it is needed next time. To prevent domains from blocking set the value as 0. Default value: 10 |
OutputTaskLocalhostPort |
Port where proxy lists will be available by means of outtasks on the localhost. Default value: 1000 (This feature is available only in ZennoProxyChecker) |
