Is this a classic ping?

No. Classic ping uses ICMP, and this server cannot open raw sockets, so we cannot send it. The tool opens a TCP connection to the port you choose and times the handshake. The page and the result card both say this is TCP connect time. A closed port or a timeout counts as loss for that attempt. The number is not the same delay you would see from an ICMP echo.

Why does this differ from ping on my computer?

The measurement runs from the WeProxy server to the target. It does not show latency from your computer. Wi-Fi, country and the path from your home all change your own result. This page shows how quickly the gateway accepts a connection from our server. To see your own delay, run a client from your machine. Do not treat the two numbers as the same reading.

Why can’t I probe port 22?

Sensitive service ports such as SSH, databases and email cannot be tested, for security. Every other port from 1 to 65535 can, including a random proxy port from the dashboard. Trying many different ports on the same target in a short time pauses the check. That stop keeps the tool from being used as a port scanner. A refused request never opens a connection.

What does the loss percentage mean?

If an attempt does not connect within three seconds, that row stays empty and counts as loss. One miss out of four is 25 percent loss. A short loss can mean the target was busy or the path dropped. Loss at 100 percent suggests the port is closed or a firewall is discarding the connection. Times arrive together. They are not streamed live line by line.

Can I measure proxy latency here?

Partly. Enter the gateway hostname and the proxy port to see TCP time from the WeProxy server to that port. This does not measure the path from your home to the gateway. Full delay between your client and a target site includes your own line and the proxy exit together. A high server-side time can mean the gateway is far from that region. Do not decide from this number alone.

Measure TCP Connect Time

ICMP is not available on this server. The tool opens a TCP connection to the port you choose and records the time in milliseconds. The probe runs from the WeProxy server, not from your computer.

The measurement runs from the WeProxy server to the target. It does not show the latency from your computer. The number is the server-side TCP time toward the gateway.

Why this tool?

Why Ping Test (TCP)?

Ping Test makes up to five TCP attempts to the port you choose. Min, average, max and loss come back in one response. SSH, database and email ports stay closed for security.

01Measures TCP connect time, not ICMP
02Runs 1 to 5 attempts and returns them together
03Rejects private addresses and sensitive service ports
04Shows server-side delay to a proxy gateway port

How it works

Step-by-step process

Enter a Target

Type a domain or a public IP. Localhost and private addresses are rejected.

Choose a Port

80, 443, 8989 or the proxy port from your dashboard all work. SSH, database and email ports are refused.

Read the Summary

Each attempt is listed, then min, average, max and loss percentage.

Tips

Try the gateway on 443, 1080 or 8989.
Read the note on the result card: the time is not from your computer.
Loss at 100 percent suggests the port is closed or blocked.
