v2.1.0 — SOCKS Edition

A full rewrite of the checker: SOCKS4/SOCKS5 instead of plain HTTP, anonymity-level detection, a much more usable results table, and ready-to-run Windows/Linux builds — no Python installation required.

✨ What's new

• 🧦 SOCKS4 / SOCKS5 support — plain HTTP proxies have been dropped entirely; only SOCKS is fetched and checked now.
• 🕵️ Anonymity level detection: Transparent / Anonymous / Elite, based on which headers the proxy actually forwards to the target site.
• ⏱️ Latency (ms) shown directly in the results table — real round-trip response time per proxy.
• 🌍 Flag icons instead of emoji — country flags render as actual small images, so they display correctly even on systems without a color-emoji font.
• 🔢 Row numbering and a live "N found" counter.
• ↕️ Column sorting — click any header to sort ascending/descending.
• 🔎 Filters — live IP search, plus Protocol and Anonymity dropdown filters.
• 🖱️ Right-click context menu on any row — copy IP / IP:port / proxy URL / full row.
• 💾 CSV and TXT export (TXT contains ready-to-use socks5://ip:port lines).
• 📦 Standalone builds — Windows .exe and a Linux binary are built automatically via GitHub Actions and attached to this release.

🖥️ Interface

Single window, two-column layout: settings/log/progress on the left, a live, sortable, filterable results table on the right (Flag | # | Country | IP | Port | Protocol | Anonymity | Latency).

📥 Download

• Windows — proxy-checker-windows.exe, just run it
• Linux — proxy-checker-linux, run chmod +x proxy-checker-linux then execute it
• Or from source: pip install -r requirements.txt && python main.py

🔧 Under the hood

• Liveness, anonymity and latency are all determined by a single HTTPS request through the proxy tunnel
• Batch GeoIP lookups via ip-api.com; flag icons via flagcdn.com
• Requires requests[socks] (PySocks) for SOCKS connectivity
