How to check proxies |
|
1. Adding proxies into the base
As soon as proxies are downloaded from the source and filtered out by filters (if they have been set), they will be added into the common base of proxies. Each proxy remembers what source it has been downloaded from: the check settings are bound to the source. All the proxies in the base are unique: there cannot be two similar proxies.
2. Check rating
Each proxy has its own rating which is growing when a proxy is selected from the "live" list.
The rating is also falling if a proxy fails to pass the check.
Proxies are regularly taken from the base for a check according to the rating: in the first place proxies with the highest rating are checked. You shouldn't think that a "live" proxy with a high rating will be put forward over and over again - it will be accepted for a check not sooner than the period specified in the "Re-check restriction" parameter in the Proxy Parameter settings is over. Proxies that have a low rating, will be re-checked last.
3. Live list
Proxies, that have passed through a check, are added into the list of "live" proxies.
A proxy can be taken out from the "live" list directly or using rules, with or without the deletion from the list.
If a proxy has been in the "live" list for too long and has not been demanded, this proxy "dies", i.e. returns from the list back to base unless it is accepted for a check again. (The proxy life span can be changed in the settings.)
