Socks5 Pure IP Detection: A Method to Verify Whether an IP is Contaminated or Not

How to tell if your Socks5 proxy IP is polluted?

Many users have encountered unstable connections and abnormal access when using proxy IPs, which is most likely caused by contaminated IPs. The so-called"IP Pollution", which means that the IP address has been flagged as abnormal traffic by the target website or ISP, resulting in restricted access. The following teaches you to verify if your Socks5 proxy is pure in three steps.

Step 1: Basic connectivity testing

first useThe ping command and the telnet toolDetect the status of the underlying network. Open the command line and enterping proxy IP address, observe if the delay is in the normal range (usually within 200ms). Then usetelnet Proxy IP Port NumberTest the port open status, if there is a connection timeout, the IP may have been blocked by the firewall.

Step 2: Real Scenario Simulation Test

Verify IP availability through real-world usage scenarios:
1. Configure a Socks5 proxy with your browser to access regular web pages (recommended to use the no-trace mode)
2. Try to access the website account that requires a login
3. Continuously refreshing the same page 5-10 times
If there is a CAPTCHA surge, login failure, or inability to load content, it means that the IP may be flagged as a high-risk node.

Step 3: Third-party testing tool verification

RecommendedIn-line inspection system for IPIPGO(console login required), the tool provides real-time feedback:
- IP Address Reputation Score
- Associated Equipment Fingerprint Record
- Historical Blacklist Search
Through professional data comparison, you can accurately determine whether the current proxy IP is polluted or not.
