    This shows you use public proxies. They went down to 0 as the program auto disabled them on a search engine ban or when seeing them as down on a download/submission. 

    Why do you use public proxies anyway? I would just disable them all only use your private once.

    Hello Sven,

    That's not true, i'm not using public proxies, i'm using semi-dedicated proxies from buyproxies.org, do you want to say they gived me a public proxies? lol
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    no, but the screenshot shows XY|0 which means you have XY private proxies ... I thought you had soem public among those as well.

    Only private proxies as i said, so what is the problem then? because this really didn't happen to me before at all.
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de

    OK that looks all very good to me. Did you check the proxies against being anonymous ?

    Hi,
    I have been having this problem also. My proxies go down to 0 within minutes. If I check them in SER then it gives 5/10 working. Scrapebox shows 10/10 working (don't know if that's a sign of quality or not). They are private proxies I am not scraping with SER at all and I have HMA Pro running for when anything else needs done that's why I only ticked "use private proxies for posting". That's the way I have always done it when testing lists scraped from Scrapebox. I have from buyproxies.org as I always use, just got new ones and no change with SER.
    I would appreciate any help on this. Screenshots:

    @Sven I think it's really great how often you update this software and add new things and fixes etc. Keep up the good work :-)

    I think you have enabled the option to auto disale bad proxies. Just turn that off for private proxies.
  • weecrieffieweecrieffie
    Thanks, that option was activated. I didn't see those options at all.
    It shows using 10/10 proxies now. When I check them against google (search) then 4 don't work. Can they show up as good on Scrapebox and bad on SER?
    Thanks for your help

    SER does actual searched where SB seems to just download the page and sees if it's OK.

    Hello,

    I think I am facing the same issue here of the number of working proxies in SER stats (at the bottom) going down within a few minutes. Yes, I am using public proxies but I am using a fresh list I just got. But the issue is that as I just said the number keeps going down and when I go to configure proxy section and test those same proxies again against Google search the number of working proxies go up again.

    Any comments?

    Same thing is happening to me. I am using buyproxies semi private, brand new. In an hour, my project shut down because SER labeled them all bad. I tested the proxies, and they were fine. I had to turn off the disable bad proxies option.

    You guys should never check that setting to disable private proxies when bad. They rarely go bad, but the real issue is line noise, server errors, etc., and then they get turned off because of a split second problem.

    I test my proxies in SB, KM, and SEO Spyglass (which is like SER because it gives actual times). It is important to check proxies - when you first get them - in a couple of different places.

    If I have problems, I can take multiple screenshots and send them to buyproxies and have replacements right away. I would never return proxies based on what SER says, although I understand the distinction that Sven made above. You have to look at your rate of linkbuilding to determine if there really is an issue. Sometimes I don't return one or two bad ones because my performance is just fine, so I don't sweat the small stuff.

    Hi @ron,

    >You guys should never check that setting to disable private proxies when bad.

    It's not only that, you should disable proxy testing all together.

    If you scrape for public proxies, and enable SER to test them, SER will always test both public and private proxies.

    And like you said, private proxies rarely go bad, and then they get turned off because of a split second problem, which is unfortunate.

    It would be good, if there's an option to disallow SER from testing these private proxies, or better still on the Proxy List menu, select proxies and toggle between Test or No Test.

    Right now, the only way I can prevent SER from testing my private proxies while scraping for new public proxies, is to

    Test Only newly added proxies, and disable Re-test previously working proxies.

    The problem with this setup is, a lot of public proxies gets untested for long period of time, and becomes bad. Then, I'll see lots of "download failure".

    Preferably, I would like to test my public proxies every 5 minutes and keep them healthy...
