If you're using free proxy lists, most will fail our checker. Here's why:
Free proxies typically last hours to days before going offline. Lists are often outdated before you even download them.
Free proxies average 2-10 second response times versus 150-300ms for quality paid proxies.
Free proxies are in public lists — websites block them immediately. They're useless for actual scraping.
Many free proxies are run by attackers who log and intercept your traffic. Never use for anything sensitive.
