v1.0.0 — Does Your Proxy Provider Actually Have Millions of IPs?

proxy-reality-check v1.0.0

Your proxy provider claims 10 million IPs. You're still getting banned. This tool tells you exactly how many real IPs are behind your plan — measured, not marketed.

What it does

Fires concurrent requests through your proxies, counts unique exit IPs, tracks collisions, and estimates your real pool size using collision math. In 60 seconds you'll know if you have 200 real IPs or 2,000.

Four modes:

• Sprint — 1 minute: how big is my actual pool?
• Marathon — X minutes: is my pool growing or draining over time?
• Scale scan — finds the exact thread count before IP sharing breaks your success rate
• Burst — synchronized batches: how many unique IPs do I get per simultaneous round?

Who this is for

• Getting CAPTCHAs and bans despite a "large" residential proxy plan
• Scraper breaks above a certain thread count and you don't know why
• Want real numbers before committing to a proxy provider
• Provider support says "the pool is fine" — you want to verify that yourself
