The Real IP box should always contain your Real IP address. It is required for accurate proxy verification. Select "auto detect Real IP" and allow Hiproxy to maintain this important parameter automatically. You can check your Real IP address at any time and compare it to box "Real IP".
HTTP Test is the page loaded by Hiproxy when you verify a proxy server. When you click Verify from the Command Menu, Hiproxy sends a request to the selected proxy asking to read the HTTP Test web page. From the response received, Hiproxy can determine if the selected proxy has revealed your IP address, i.e. if the proxy is anonymous or not.
Test pages should contain string "REMOTE_ADDR". You can add your own test pages by typing their address into the box and hitting Save. You can use ProxyJudge pages for HTTP Test. Proxy Judges are environment-checker web pages that rate proxies. You can find them searching Google with "inurl:prxjdg.cgi", "intitle:ProxyJudge". Sometimes test pages get overloaded and respond with status code 302 - indication to replace the page with another.
You can also type "renew" and hit key Enter to get the latest test pages from Hiproxy.com.
HTTPS Test is a secure web page. Each HTTPS Test page contains its own Return Text. Return Text parameter is a string inside the HTTPS Test web page. It confirms that the selected proxy has indeed reached the Test page. If Return Text is not found in the response, the proxy address is invalid or is not performing correctly.
You can Enable HTTPS test with a checkbox.
Tip: to delete an entry from HTTP/HTTPS test lists:
1. click on the drop-down button
2. without clicking move the mouse and select (highlight) a row, or use the arrow keys
3. hit key Del or Delete.
Tunnel Test verifies HTTP proxies for CONNECT command support. Tunneling
proxies are SSL (HTTPS) enabled proxies which can transmit information to
other proxies. They can be linked in a chain, the method is called
"proxy chaining". They can also be used as substitute for Socks as
explained in FAQ. Tunnel Test is not performed for Socks proxies in
the list.
You
can automatically set the line color by entering a code combination in box Color. The combination is "foreground;background".
Basic color codes
are: 0=Black, 1=Blue,
2=Green, 3=Cyan, 4=Red,
5=Magenta, 6=Yellow, 7=White. Add 8 for light
colors: 4(red) + 8 = 12(light red). Hexadecimal RGB codes are supported as
well. One of the codes can be omitted, for example
";10" is light green background with default (black) foreground.
Enable/disable Tunnel Test with checkbox "add to HTTPS test".
In mixed lists with HTTP and Socks proxies, you can select where Socks proxies to be located. Choose Top or Bottom of list from the Socks Join radio button. The actual joining is performed by command "Join all Socks proxies" from the command menu.
Sometimes you need to save certain
proxies from accidental deletion. This is done by entering text in the Comment
column and selecting "dont delete if comment" in Settings.
You can set verification timeouts. Ping timeout is the maximum time allowed
for ping request response, in milliseconds. You can enable/disable ping
verification through the Enable ping checkbox. Test Page timeout is the maximum time a proxy will wait for response from the Test Web
Page, in seconds.
Some users will want to customize the Main window
Apply button. In general, IE
windows preserve their proxy settings.
Therefore you need to open a new IE window after each browser proxy change.
Select "+ browse" to activate this feature. Selecting "+
Exit" will close Hiproxy on each browser proxy change.
Whois server could be any web form which accepts an IP
address and returns registration information about it. Parameter is the
variable's name inside the form. Some whois web servers do not use forms. In this case, enter the server's name
in box "Server" and leave the "Parameter" box empty. The Whois command is available in
Pro Edition only.
Country settings - you can choose to view the IP's country flag,
it's full name or both. Country information shows automatically after
verification for anonymous proxies only if you check the box show if
anonymous. You can also select a group of proxies and hit "Find
country by IP" from the Command Menu (with right-click).
