About Proxy Timeouts: These settings control how quickly the system detects and recovers from unresponsive proxies. The default values are optimized to prevent long delays while avoiding false positives.
Connection Timeouts

Recommended: 5 seconds. Time to validate proxy works after connection.
Recommended: 4 attempts. Balances reliability with execution time.

When enabled, failing proxies are temporarily blacklisted to improve performance.

With recommended settings:

  • Best case: Healthy proxy connects in ~2-3 seconds
  • Single failure: Dead proxy detected in 10 seconds
  • Worst case: All proxies dead = ~40 seconds (4 proxies × 10 seconds)
  • Previous worst case: 18+ minutes with hanging connections
