That may possibly be the case, although I've used this same batch of proxies for months (not for account creation on RankerX, but other purposes), and they've always been super reliable.
Unless RankerX has a proxy check timeout of less than 250ms, which would be stupid, I doubt this is an issue with proxies. I've just tested it now in real-time, the original proxy used to create the account is DEFINITELY alive - I'm using it right now as I type this post to keep open a browser, the browser crashes with any loss of connection. I also tested the proxy via RankerX, Scrapebox and GSA SER.

The original proxy is based in Seattle, as you can see it has failed to post via that proxy 7 times on random dates / times. Yet the proxy is working right now, and it was working while I did the 2 test posts today. Run your own test if you don't trust these results,
- Create a Tumblr account via RankerX
- Create a warmup Project, deselect everything except Tumblr.
- Post.
- Login to the Tumblr account and find the proxy used to post via "Active sessions" in settings. Logout after.
- Make sure that proxy is DEFINITELY still alive.
- Run the warmup project as many times as you like for 1 post a time.
- Log back into the Tumblr, see if the original proxy is used to create a single post.
Maybe there is something funny with my proxies, in which case I'll need to replace them. But unless you can run this simple and quick experiment successfully, I highly doubt this is a proxy connection issue.
*Make sure you create several posts, since it may use the original proxy by chance if you have a small pool of private proxies.
