whatismyipaddress.com failing

mexela

gsa is testing against

whatismyipaddress.com/proxy-check

which sometimes the link is very slow (takes over 10 seconds) and gsa will timeout (because by default the timeout is 5 seconds) making the proxy to fail

Sven

well test against something else?

mexela

the users won't believe that is the site's fault

Sven

well what you suggest? Removing it? It's still a legitimate test.

mexela

put a bigger timeout, at least 15 seconds for it 

Sven

ok will put out a warning here on next update

mexela

thank you very much, it will help a lot of gsa users

You can add a custom test url super easy.

IE: https://www.iplocation.net/find-ip-address, https://www.ip-secrets.com/ etc.

Just google what your looking for.

thanks but the problem isn't with us, we know how to use gsa. 

The problem is that our user won't believe that the proxies are good if they are failing  whatismyipaddress and they will believe that we try to trick them to make a different test

@mexela

My bad. I totally  failed to put two and two together. I can see how that would be an obvious problem for you.

mexela
