Core Tools

The one-off task tools for extracting, checking, benchmarking, leak testing, chain testing, and viewing proxies.

Core tools are task-based. Use them when you want to run a focused job, inspect the result table, export output, save rows to a pool, or hand rows to the next tool.

Tool Map

Tool	Use it for	Common next step
Scrape Proxies	Extract proxy candidates from URLs, files, HTML, JSON, or pasted text.	Check Proxies
Check Proxies	Detect liveness, protocol, HTTPS support, anonymity, latency, country, network type, and quality.	Benchmark Proxies or Save to pool
Benchmark Proxies	Re-test candidates across multiple rounds to measure stability.	Test Proxy Leaks
Test Proxy Leaks	Inspect forwarding headers, origin mismatch, and anonymity risk.	Save to pool or export
Test Proxy Chains	Validate explicit chains or search for working chains with autonomous harmony.	Chain Engine
Proxy Viewer	Send and inspect one request through one proxy.	Debug a candidate before saving or using it

Feature Matrix

Tool	Inputs	Key controls	Outputs worth watching
Scrape Proxies	Single source, many sources, and file input.	Parser profile, selector, JSON path, concurrency, timeout, headers, cookies, redirects, User-Agent, dedupe mode, prefer strongest.	Raw count, unique count, duplicate count, parser used, source errors, content type, candidate count.
Check Proxies	Single proxy, many proxies, file, pool, handoff rows.	Protocol hint, HTTPS probe, request URL, expected status codes, timeout, concurrency, User-Agent, country resolution.	Alive/dead, detected protocol, quality score, anonymity, exit IP, country, ASN, ISP, network type, auth signal.
Benchmark Proxies	Single proxy, many proxies, file, pool, handoff rows.	Rounds, protocol hint, HTTPS probe, expected status codes, timeout, concurrency, country resolution.	Success rate, pass/fail count, best latency, average latency, worst latency, last error, stability.
Test Proxy Leaks	Single proxy, many proxies, file, pool, handoff rows.	Protocol hint, request URL, expected status codes, timeout, concurrency, User-Agent, country resolution.	Leak count, leak signals, anonymity, origin mismatch, `Via`, `Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-For`, `Proxy-Authorization`.
Test Proxy Chains	Single chain, many chains, file.	Max hops, harmony mode, order mode, beam width, candidate budget, request URL, redirects, expected status codes.	Grade, score, failed hop index, per-hop HTTP/HTTPS support, latencies, exit IP, final URL.
Proxy Viewer	One proxy and one request.	Method, body, target URL, headers, cookies, redirects, preview size, timeout, User-Agent, location resolution.	Attempt log, status, final URL, redirects, response headers, body preview, cookies, exit IP.

Shared Task Controls

Control	Meaning
Task name	Human-readable label used in history, notifications, and exports.
Notes	Context for why the task was run.
Tags	Labels that travel into pools and reporting flows.
Start now	Run immediately if the tool has capacity.
Queue	Wait until the tool has an open active-run slot.
Schedule	Wait until the configured time.
Concurrency	Number of candidates or sources processed in parallel.
Timeout	Per-probe or per-source time budget.

Each core task type allows up to two active runs at a time. Extra queued work waits instead of overwhelming the local app.

Shared Result Actions

Search and filter rows.
Select specific rows.
Hide or show columns.
Export the current result set.
Send selected, visible, or ready rows to the next tool.
Save usable rows to a proxy pool.
Send a summarized report to Discord when configured.

Handoffs are designed to preserve work instead of making you paste lists again. Depending on the source and destination, ZeroTrace Proxy can send selected rows, visible rows, or all ready rows; keep useful notes and tags; copy compatible task options; open the destination tool; and report which rows were accepted or skipped.

From	Useful handoff
Extractor	Send normalized proxy rows into Checker.
Checker	Send alive or high-scoring rows into Benchmark, Leak Test, Viewer, or Pools.
Benchmark	Send stable winners into Leak Test, Pools, or Rotation Engine workflows.
Leak Test	Save clean rows to Pools or export/report the evidence.
Chain Tester	Save winning chains into Chain Engine.
Viewer	Use the inspected candidate to decide whether it belongs in a pool or needs more checking.

Recommended Order

For a new source list, use:

Scrape Proxies -> Check Proxies -> Benchmark Proxies -> Test Proxy Leaks -> Save Pool -> Rotation Engine

For chains, use:

Check Proxies -> Test Proxy Chains -> Chain Engine -> Chain Traffic
