@rodol rightproxy.com is one I'm using and they seem quite good for public proxies. Testing on one install of SER and I'm getting 50-60 LPM which isn't bad for public proxies
I think some times the proxy block message is wrong.
For instance, on a few occasions I clicked the query where I got the proxy ban message for Google and there was no results. I think that maybe SER is mistaking no results for a query as a proxy ban, but I might be wrong on this.
I think mostly GSA SER is getting it right b/c there's been an incredible drop in LPM for most everyone and IP bans would explain that perfectly. Going from 50 -60 LPM to 5-6 LPM when nothing has changed, not even the GSA SER version means IP addresses are being shot down a lot. From what I hear, even private proxies too.
@nitinsy not sure who spotted it first, but you have search on google and then test for a word on the result page to see if google has banned your proxy
Reason some of you get mixed results ban/good proxies is because google will ban only advance operators searches such as inurl: +keyword but you will still be able to do regular searches such as normal search term or "powered by footprint" +keyword.
It will not surprise me if google stop supporting inurl:. Lets hope not because many footprints depend on that.
@davbel - immediately testing proxies with GSA shows they are working fine. Although I have not tested by manually googling
@jpvr90 - this could be the problem. I did notice there were no results displayed for the query in Google. Not sure if it is because of no results that GSA assumes proxies are banned.
@sven - "but you have search on google and then test for a word on the result page to see if google has banned your proxy"
Does SER proxy checker:
a) Do a search on Google and look for a test word on results page?
b) Does it only try and load the Google page and look for a string on the Google load page?
It's just I recently noticed that some proxies showed up as passed, but when I loaded them in my browser I could load the Google page, but only when I did a search was it blocked.
yup, as @AlexR mentioned .... I was one of those users that wasn't aware of the trick with testing proxies against Google :P
but for now, I have another problem.. GSA tests my private proxies against google...
if proxy doesn't pass google test it doesn't mean it is not anonymous and not worth being used for posting...
does anyone have a workaround for this or is it possible to include this 'diffirence' in usage?
all the time 14/20 proxies pass google test and other 6 are disabled and not used for anything - waste of resources... am I wrong or sth can be done with this?
Do you use google only as search engine? I would use many others as well. If you miss one result from the google-proxy banned one, who cares? There is still enough from other search engines and other proxies.
I have the same problem this morning, was just checking up on GSA SER and my is blocked by google. So i have currently stopped it in hopes after a few hours the block will dissapear.
Using 50 private proxies and running 300 threads, the GSA indexer is running 200 threads.
Hopefully someone here has an answer as to what i happening , looks like google is cracking down on GSA lol
in engine files there is line that contains all footprints used to search for targets... every engine has its own file - there is no option to skip them - for this moment

a) what @Ozz said
b) it loads google.com and searches for a string that should always be there.

When i do the same with bing or whatmyip, they all fail besides 2 of them.
On top of that i get IP blocked on "Zapmeta uk" "izitu uk" "Clusty" "google" "IXQuick" "google AG"
Not looking good

try inurl:wordpress
i am sure it will not pass. google will ban advance search operators only but will allow regular/normal searches.
a solution is ready.
I guess i just have to wait then, thanks for the info jpvr90
If there is such a thing in GSA, did look around but did not find any !!
Sry if this sounds like a stupid question, i am very new to this
