Quickstart

This quickstart uses sanitized example proxies. Replace them with your own authorized sources when working in the app.

Goal

Create a small task, check proxy health, save usable results, and understand where to go next.

Go to Core Tools -> Check Proxies.

Use Many proxies as the input mode and paste a small list:

http://192.0.2.10:8080
socks5://198.51.100.20:1080
203.0.113.30:3128

These IP ranges are documentation examples. They are not expected to be real working proxies.

Setting	Suggested first value
Name	`Docs demo check`
Start mode	Start now
Protocol hint	Auto
Timeout	10 to 20 seconds
Request URL	Keep the default unless you need a specific target
Expected status	`200`
Resolve country	Enabled for richer result data
HTTPS check	Enabled

Important columns:

Column	Meaning
Status	Alive or dead based on the configured probe.
Protocol	Detected protocol after auto detection.
Latency	Round-trip probe time in milliseconds.
Quality	High, medium, low, or poor based on score.
Anonymity	Elite, anonymous, transparent, or unknown.
HTTPS	Whether the proxy supports HTTPS probing.
Network type	Residential, mobile, datacenter, or unknown.

If your real task returns good candidates:

Next step	Use when
Benchmark and Leak Test	You need reliability and privacy checks before using a pool.
Build a Quality Pool	You want reusable saved sets with tags and source metadata.
Run a Rotation Runtime	You want a local endpoint that rotates across pool entries.
Discover Proxy Chains	You want to test or search multi-hop chains.

The smallest useful ZeroTrace workflow is: check a list, save alive candidates, then benchmark and leak-test the saved pool.
