Correct setup of proxy test to avoid “PROXY ERROR”

In many tools you will see a “test proxy” function, which performs a conncectivity test to your proxy, and some add a geolocation test as well, to identify the location of the proxy. To correctly test your proxy you should target those search queries to: https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt .Some tools use popular search engines (like google.com) as a default test target. Bright Data will block those requests and you tool will show proxy error although your proxy is perfectly fine.If your proxy test fails, this is probably the reason. Make sure that your test domain is not a search engine (this is done in the tool configuration, and not controlled by Bright Data).

What is Dolphin Anty?

Dolphin Anty is an easy-to-use, anti-detection browser built for marketers, researchers, and data professionals who need secure, anonymous browsing for data collection and competitive intelligence. It creates unique digital fingerprints for each profile—like IP addresses and device types—so platforms can’t link profiles to the same user. With Dolphin Anty, you can securely collect web data, conduct market research, and manage affiliate marketing workflows—all without worrying about blocks or detection.
Maintain a consistent IP throughout your browser session by using the -session parameter in your username. This is essential because BrightData proxies default to rotating IPs with each request. Learn more
New users should begin with ISP or Data Center proxies, as residential proxies are incompatible with browser integration in Immediate-Access mode .
