What the SOCKS5 checker shows

Status — alive or dead (with detailed error code if dead)
Outgoing IP — the IP a website sees through this proxy
Geo — country, city, coordinates
ISP / ASN — network provider and autonomous system number
Network type — Datacenter, Residential, or Mobile (by ASN)
Anonymity — Elite / Anonymous / Transparent (almost always Elite for SOCKS5)
Static / Rotating — detected via multiple probe requests
Response time — ping through the proxy

Supported SOCKS5 formats

ProxyLab auto-detects SOCKS5 proxies in any common format:

ip:port — without auth
ip:port:login:password — most common with auth
login:password@ip:port — URL-style
ip:port@login:password — reverse URL-style
socks5://login:password@ip:port — full scheme
tg://socks?server=...&port=... — Telegram scheme

Mix formats freely in one list — each line is parsed independently.

How to check SOCKS5 proxies

Open the homepage and make sure "Check proxies" mode is selected
Paste your SOCKS5 list into the input — one per line
Click "Check" — results stream in as they arrive (up to 30 parallel)
Download working, copy, share via 24h link, or convert format

One proxy takes 5–10 seconds. 100 proxies — about a minute.

How is SOCKS5 different from HTTP?

SOCKS5 works at the TCP/UDP layer, while HTTP proxies only handle HTTP traffic. SOCKS5 is more universal (any protocol can ride on top), faster on non-web tasks, and supports UDP. More — see SOCKS5 vs HTTP.

FAQ

What does "proxy doesn't work" mean?

It means we couldn't connect to the SOCKS5 server, the test request errored/timed out, or the server returned an invalid response. Common causes: wrong credentials, IP banned, lease expired, provider downtime.

Can I check many SOCKS5 proxies at once?

Yes. Session limit is 5,000 lines, with up to 30 parallel connections. You can paste as text or drag-n-drop a .txt file into the input.

Do you keep my proxies?

No. Submitted proxies are processed in memory and never persisted to disk. Details in the privacy policy.
