Why you should never test your proxy via score sites

[lucky.sparks]

While cracking adspower stealth browser, I noticed a new alert under the pixelscan page.

This is how they get access to proxy IPs.

It's the same as visiting https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test/ site with a leaking browser and then wondering why your proxy is flagged and showing up with bad score.

They are big honeypots, be aware, and do not give your proxy subnet ranges to those companies.

How they get the port tho?

You give it to them, https://pixelscan.net/proxy-checker

I've suspected that as well and also I would add to the list scamalytics and proxy.incolumitas with their shitty proxy checker that gives false positive on an emulator.
f.vision had some good features to test the browser's fingerprints and was good at one point, haven't used it lately so I can't recommend

Building any website to just collect user IPs is an overkill. There is spur.us, which gives you even the proxy provider of the IP (if you sign up with corporate mail).
Just buying a proxy plan and making millions of requests to your endpoint is a much much easier alternative. I suspect spur.us did exactly that. At least they have a very full database of shitroyal proxies and not more premium ones like Oxy, I suspect they block them pretty soon.

Any proxy checker would first target datacenter IPs and proper geolocation data, which are millions and millions of IPs unmanageable to collect with just a website for fingerprint enthusiasts.
So their proxy checker is probably just an attempt to monetize the website.

Nice one never thought I was being dumb all these years

IDK how many times I have been doing this.

What would be a better & safer alternative here?

 

[KJREDDY247@]

nice info here. Following for more tips from experts.

No ban, no problem. Some social media allow more than other and superb proxy quality doesn't matter that much. I like them more.

thanks for your information and basically am using f.vision and canva fingerprint.

Alright Steve!

spur.us seems interesting.
For mobile proxies it tells you the amount of devices usually observed on the IP.
While this is probably not 100% correct it gives a good indication from my tests.
I tested two mobile providers here and the one with fewer IPs has more devices for that IP which makes sense.

I just wonder if they really have the data or just estimate something based on number of IPs available to a provider.
If they partnered with some CDNs like Akamai it would probably be possible to pull it off.
Probably those proxy providers also have some weak spot since they don't really care about the true TCP / UDP packets.

I thought they were just buying proxy plans and spamming to their endpoint, revealing those IPs.
The devices per IP looks bullshit to me. Their website is (was*, they updated it this week) too unprofessional to partner with top dogs like Akamai or Clouflare.
And even if I misunderstand something about how the world spins, how would Akamai and Cloudflare know if a connection is proxied? We know that these antibots are easily bypassed with even shitproxies, so they don't.

And the data they possess about devices per IP must have to be just an estimate without anything backing it up. Probably benefits the sales tho, as looks cool

 

[OccultKingdoms]

spur.us is so useful guys

another (home) IP used on 8 devices shows 1



residential proxy

so you need virgin IPs for strict gay media

Appreciated information

 

[Tanjiro B]

That's some helpful information! I was Doing it for a long time! Is there any safe alternative?

 

[BufferOver]

btw when it comes to stealth browsers. Is adspower your choice?

 

[Marketologs]

If I go mobile I prefer use of Dolphin. Not sure adspower works on mobile, though

On mobile, like using mobile useragents?

Does that even make sense to use mobile useragents on desktop somewhere? Not asking about specific place, just findings.

No, thats bad practice, thats why I was asking because to know knowing, there is no stealth browsers that offer mobile browsers that can be automated from remote.
