Proxies for Agent-Reach: the setting is in the backend, not the tool
Agent-Reach has no proxy setting because it never makes the request. Its own readme says a server needs a residential line and a laptop does not.
Proxies for career-ops: the tool does not fetch, and the big boards refused us
career-ops instructs your coding assistant to fetch job postings. Its own scripts take no proxy, and in our test the biggest job boards refused both addresses.
Proxies for deep research agents: which lane did that request take?
A research agent has several network lanes and your proxy variable reaches only some. What we found reading fifty three of them, with our own measurements.
Proxies for DeerFlow: one tool takes an address, the other does not
DeerFlow has no global proxy. Its page fetch tool takes one in the config file, its search tool takes none, and containers need an exclusion list.
Proxies for GPT Researcher: the two scrapers that cannot use one

Proxies for last30days: which of its lanes your setting reaches
This skill reads six sources in one run, through four different network lanes. A proxy variable reaches some of them. We read the code and measured the rest.
Proxies for TradingAgents: which call is actually being refused
TradingAgents announced proxy support, and it means a custom base URL for the model. The data sources that refuse you are a separate question, source by source.

We Ran 110 Million Checks on Free Proxies. Here's What We Found
Free proxy data study: across 580,000 free proxies and 110 million checks, how many actually work, how fast they die, their protocol mix, and where they live.
Proxies that don't die mid-job
Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
129M+ proxy checks run · 100+ countries · HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS · re-checked every few minutes · no signup
