Smartphone cURL Test

For this test, we suggest Termux, which is a powerful terminal emulator that provides a full Linux environment on mobile devices. It allows running the cURL command-line directly from a mobile device. Termux is supported on Android and iOS devices and enables advanced networking tasks typically performed on desktop systems.

Why is cURL useful?

cURL is a command-line tool used to send requests. It is commonly used to verify proxy connectivity and test network responses. When used with proxies, it routes traffic through a specified IP address, which helps test different geographic locations and diagnose connectivity issues. It also returns clear response codes and IP information for troubleshooting and verification purposes. A successful proxy connection accompanied by valid IP response data indicates that the proxy is operational.

Termux Setup

Step 1. Download Termux from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS) on your device.

Step 2. Open the application and enter: pkg install curl.
