proxybench
Benchmark different proxies on basis of the following:
| test | Implemented | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP Stress | :white_check_mark: | records the time it takes to finish the test on http://httpvshttps.com |
| HTTPS Stress (HTTP/2) | :white_check_mark: | records the time it takes to finish the test on https://httpvshttps.com |
| Heavy Websites | :white_check_mark: | records the time it takes to open websites like https://techcrunch.com/ |
| HTTPS Stress (HTTP/1.1) | ||
| WS Support | ||
| WSS Support | ||
| <TO ADD MORE> |
Installation
go get github.com/pulkitsharma07/proxybench
Running the benchmark
- Make sure you have
chromedriverpresent in your PATH. - Start the desired proxies on different ports.
- Make sure you add and trust the certificates provided by the respective proxies, so that they can be considered as a trusted CA by the browser.
- Refer
proxybench.json.sampleand createproxybench.jsonsimilarly. - Launch
proxybench, it will look forproxybench.jsonin the current directory and run according to that config.

Directstands for the baseline performance, i.e. without using any proxy.
Development
- Use
depto install dependencies - Add proxy information in
proxybench.json - benchmarks are defined in
benchmarks/ - You can define new benchmarks similarly, add them to
NewSimpleSuiteto execute. go installproxybenchto run (Assuming GOBIN is added to your PATH)
TODO
- Unit and integration tests.
- CLI option to skip the baseline (DIRECT) test.
- CLI options to launch tests in sync/async.
- Add wrapper around
Runto measure the proxy's CPU/Memory usage (Need to take PID from user, or figure out from script?).Eventually render a timeseries graph. - Randomize test order and most importantly do multiple test runs and report on standard deviation. (Thanks @mhills)
- Test reports, generate test reports confining to some format, each test case will have corresponding timeseries graphs of CPU, memory, disk, number of sockets etc of the proxy.
- Final plan is to give every proxy a score based on its performance in comparison to the baseline for the different benchmarks.
- Launch proxies from this script?
PS: I made this mainly to learn Go. I will really appreciate if you can point out things in the code which I should improve upon. For example naming conventions, directory structure, or new benchmarks etc. Feel free to open any issues.
Thank You !
