Proxies testing as failed, but working

Brandon

My proxies are green when I import them, but they turn red when I test them.  What "URL as a test" and "string that has to be on the site" should I use?

I know the proxies are good and work, just testing them shows them as bad.

some proxies at times they might not appear not to work but don't disable them on testing
I have 10 private and at any time I initiate testing 3-4 appear to work
I leave them all check and my posting all goes well

I think a dropbown should be added with a number of URL's and test strings we can use...would help a lot of people.

I agree, since I first changed it to try to test google, I haven't been able to get it showing properly again.
