#1 Proxy country – Please select proxy server's country from the available country list. This list is updated every minute so if there is no desired country at the moment, please wait and try again.

#2 Proxy port – Here you can specify the port of the proxy server. You would need this filter if you have some restrictions on your computer and you can not use proxies with non-standard ports (80, 8080, 3128).

#3 Proxy type – 3 types of proxies are always available: transparent, anonymous and elite. In the most cases, anonymous or elite will suit you; though in some cases even transparent will be enough for you. More information about the types of proxies you can get by reading this very informative article here.

#4 Support SSL/HTTPS - This parameter is responsible for checking whether the proxy server supports SSL protocol or not. This protocol is used by browser when it opens web addresses started with https://.

#5 Support POST&GET – It's very rare when proxy server does not support POST&GET methods. Our practice has shown us that in 99% of the cases there is no need to set the value yes/no in this filter, leave default value. This method (POST&GET) is used when you are logging in or adding messages to guest books, forums, etc.

#6 Min. proxy speed (kb/sec) - You can set the minimum speed that proxy server must have. The optimal value is between 10 and 30 kb.

#7 Max. proxy ping (sec) – This parameter is responsible for the actual delay in seconds that proxy has while conecting the server where the website is located. It's strongly recommended not to change the default value or even worse, trying set it lower than 5 seconds.

#8 Min. uptime (%) – The value can be vary between 1 and 100. The higher the number, the more stable proxy is. The optimal value is between 70 and 90.

#9 Min. uptime (hours) - This option was added recently by the request of our customers. For some projects it is necessary to use only very stable proxy servers, which are 'alive' from several days up to several months. So here you can specify how many hours the proxy's uptime should be. Let's say 48 hours means that the proxy is working none stop during last two days and there are high chances that it won't get down tomorrow.

#10 Check interaval (min) - This option is only available in our proxy switcher, this innovation, it helps our users to choose between quality and quantity. The value can vary between 1 and 360 minutes. For example, if you choose 20, you will receive all proxies that have been tested and labeled as working ones for the last 20 minutes from the moment of the request. The greater the interval, the more you get proxies but the quality will be lower, and vice versa (this option is only available on our website)

#11 Your VIP code - This VIP code you can buy from our web site. It will give you an access for a month to our magnificiant proxy database. At the moment there are over 80,000 different proxies in our main database, which are refilled on hour bases!

#12 URL - In this field you must specify the address of a page with proxy servers. It doesn't matter you're our VIP member or you haven't bought anything from us, you still can use our software for FREE. We will not limit you in anything, even more, you will have the same rights and options as our VIP subscribes have. We have added a proxy checker which will help you remove dead and slow proxy servers and get the same quality proxy list as our VIP member have. We will speak about this how to use proxy checker later.

#13 Automatically download proxy servers every (min) – Only our proxy switcher offers the option to specify the period in minutes when you want the proxies to be downloaded automaticly. Put 1-5-10 minutes, and our software will automaticly download the list of proxies every 1-5-10 minutes and so on. And it doesn't matter where to download proxies from, it works fine with our VIP zone and with any third party proxy source

#14 Automatically change proxy servers every (min) – Now you can tell Premium Proxy Swithcer to change the proxy server automaticly after every specified period of time. It is very usefull and important in relating to your anonimity. Just imagine, your virtual IP address (which is used to identify your location) will be frequnetly changed!

#15 Sort proxy servers by - Since many users need help with selecting stable and fast proxies, we have added an option to sort proxy servers by rating. Also at the request of many of our users we have added the ability to sort proxies by country or by port

#16 Keep proxy usage history for (hours) - This function is intended for certain types of projects. Suppose you use a proxy and do not want it to be reused for the next 24 hours. It is sufficient to enable this feature and specify 24 hours as a time of history. All used proxies will not be displayed in your list for the next 24 hours. Only after this period of time, they will again appear in your list. In fact, if you need only unique proxy servers in the next few hours/days, then this option is for you.

#17 Remove proxy server after switch operation – We think that this option is clear, but still. By selecting this function, the current proxy will be automatically removed from the list when you will switch to the different proxy. This function is useful in combination with option to change proxy automatically.

#18 Use local proxy server (ip:port or user:pass@ip:port) - This function is intended for advanced users. You can be assured that you will not find no other proxy switcher which would have the similar and at the same time such a very useful function. This brings anonymity on a new level – you can create a chain of proxy servers! Also, if before you used to access the Internet through a local proxy and accordingly you could not set your own proxy in browser, with Premium Proxy Switcher it became possible. Now it is sufficient to specify a local proxy (even if it supports authentication) or your own proxy server and your computer will use chain of 2 proxy servers for any further connection.

#1 General info. - This test obtains general information about the proxy server: type and ping

#2 Speed - If you want to determine how fast each proxy server is, then you need to include this type of checking. It is always advisable to check the proxy for the speed, because this parameter is very important to determine the ranking and the quality of the proxy.

#3 BotNet – Try to avoid using this type of proxy servers. Of course, in some cases, the proxy may be falsely labeled as BotNet, but this happens very rarely. If you have downloaded a proxy servers from our premium VIP access, you can easily disable this type of test.

#5 Threads per check - How many proxy servers should be checked simultaneously. The optimal value is from 5 up to 10. Do not try to put a high value, it may affect on quality of proxy checking. Although, everything depends on the quality of your internet connection and your PC.

#6 Proxy test's timeout - Maximum time in seconds, which is allowed to spend on each of the tests with exception of speed test.

#7 Proxy speed test's timeout - Maximum number of seconds that can be spent on speed test. We do not advise you to reduce the value, since it makes the proxy speed test results inaccurate.
