FAQ

Why am I getting totally different results when testing the found proxy with another tool?

All GSA Tools can use so called CONNECT-Proxies. Those proxies are usually anonymous and work perfectly. Other tools do not understand this type of proxy and use it as a normal WEB-Proxy. Sometimes the proxy does not work here or it reacts differently (no longer anonymous, blocked by google, requires authorization…). If you want to rule out this problem, you need to uncheck the testing for CONNECT proxies in options->filter.

Tools like ScrapeBox can not handle CONNECT proxies and so you will see different results when using them in that software.
