HTTP/HTTPS Proxy Configuration Guide

Save as /usr/local/bin/test-http-proxy.sh, make executable, and run:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
P="http://proxyusername:proxypassword@proxyIP:proxyPORT"
echo "Testing HTTP proxy..."
IP=$(curl -s -x "$P" https://ifconfig.me)
echo "External IP: $IP"
echo "Testing HTTPS..."
curl -s -x "$P" https://google.com -o /dev/null && echo "HTTPS OK" || echo "HTTPS failed"

Compact format — no empty lines.

Run directly in terminal:

pip install requests
python3 - <<'EOF'
import requests
proxy="http://proxyusername:proxypassword@proxyIP:proxyPORT"
proxies={"http":proxy,"https":proxy}
r=requests.get("https://ifconfig.me",proxies=proxies,timeout=10)
print("External IP:",r.text.strip())
EOF

Save as test_http_proxy.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests
proxy="http://proxyusername:proxypassword@proxyIP:proxyPORT"
proxies={"http":proxy,"https":proxy}
r=requests.get("https://ifconfig.me",proxies=proxies,timeout=10)
print("External IP:",r.text.strip())

Use this snippet in any PHP environment to test proxy:

<?php
$proxy="proxyIP:proxyPORT";
$user="proxyusername";
$pass="proxypassword";
$ch=curl_init("https://ifconfig.me");
curl_setopt_array($ch,[
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=>true,
CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE=>CURLPROXY_HTTP,
CURLOPT_PROXY=>$proxy,
CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD=>"$user:$pass",
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT=>10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT=>15
]);
echo "External IP: ".curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
