Proxies for Checking

Hi all
Is there any advantage to using proxies for just checking sites?
Thanks,
Frank

    Hi, Frank. I've checked with and without proxies. 

    The advantages: You end up with proxies not tied up doing this task
                               You don't ever get false fails bc of proxies being down or otherwise of issue
                                Not limited threads by number of proxies

    The disadvantages: You leak the URL of the target IP to your router and ISP. (You may have reasons not to want either, or not care)
                                    Perhaps your IP could get banned if you hit pages that have been labeled as spam? Don't know about that one...
                                    ?????????? Anyone else have anything>?>
  • Thanks for the info.
    Using a VPN so probably no problem with the ISP.

    I have read about using a VPN with SER.  Is that really okay? Do people get banned? It creates a weird footprint using SEO stuff with a VPN. It's clearly not just "surfing the web." Do they care? 
  • I wouldn't use the program without it.

    Anyone else have any ideas on this? While I do like doing my own thing and learning in that way, sometimes with time, when it could be easier just listening to people, when it comes to this, I really would like to know what others with more experience know with regard to this.  I don't want to get my VPN turned off bc I was using SEO tools with it. Thanks to @UncleFrank, truly. I appreciate your accounting.

    Also...if you're using public proxies, a lot of what I considered doesn't apply. Conserving proxies really only applies for your own Shared/Private Proxies. :)
