# How to Test Proxies
This guide explains how to test your proxy connection status.
These are two main testers among the best available, and we choose **FOGLDN**:
* **FOGLDN PROXY TESTER:**
* **IPROYAL PROXY TESTER:**
1. Use Fogldn to test your proxies:
2. Click **Import proxies** and paste your proxies in the prompt box.
3. After pasting your proxies, click **Submit Proxies**.
4. Click **Test Proxies** and review the status to see whether proxies are working or failed.
5. If proxies show **OK** in green, they are working. If a proxy fails, the status is shown in red.
