🛰️ Proxy Performance Monitor for RagnaTales

Welcome to the Proxy Performance Monitor, a tool designed to help you find the best proxy for a smoother gaming experience on RagnaTales! This script continuously tests multiple proxies to determine which one offers the best connection based on various network metrics.

🚀 Features

• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously pings multiple proxies and displays live performance metrics.
• Composite Scoring: Calculates a composite score based on ping, jitter, packet loss, number of hops, and jitter variation over time.
• Asynchronous Traceroute: Performs continuous traceroute monitoring to provide detailed hop statistics similar to WinMTR.
• Dynamic UI: Provides a rich and interactive console interface using the rich library.
• Automatic Proxy Discovery: Dynamically discovers available proxies up to proxy20.
• Connection Type Detection: Identifies if you're connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
• User-Friendly Output: Saves detailed results to a file upon user request.
• Countdown Timer: Displays a countdown during initial analysis to ensure accurate results.

🛠️ Installation

1. Prerequisites:

   • Python 3.6 or higher.
   • Windows operating system (full functionality on Windows; limited support on Unix/Linux).

2. Clone the Repository:

   To clone the repository, run the following commands:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/proxy-performance-monitor.git
   cd proxy-performance-monitor
   

3. Install Required Packages:

   Install the required packages using:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Note: The script requires the rich library for the console UI.

▶️ Usage

Run the script using Python:

python proxy_performance_monitor.py

Controls:

• Press s to save the current results to a file.
• Press q to quit the program.

Note: For accurate results, allow the program to run for at least 30 seconds. The best proxy will be selected after the initial countdown.

📝 Metrics Explained

• Ping: Time taken for a packet to travel to the proxy and back. Lower values are better.
• Packet Loss: Percentage of packets lost during transmission. Indicates instability; lower is better.
• Jitter: Variation in ping over time. High jitter can cause lag; lower values are preferable.
• Jitter Variation: Fluctuation of jitter over a longer period. Helps identify inconsistent connections.
• Number of Hops: The number of routers between you and the proxy. Fewer hops can mean a more stable connection.
• Score: A composite metric that evaluates overall proxy performance. Lower scores are better.

🌐 Connection Type Detection

The tool detects your connection type and provides a warning if you're connected via Wi-Fi:

• Cabo: You're connected via Ethernet. Optimal for gaming.
• Wi-Fi: You're connected via Wi-Fi. For the best gaming experience on RagnaTales, it's recommended to use a wired connection.

🔄 Asynchronous Traceroute

The tool performs asynchronous traceroute tests to each proxy, ensuring that hops information is updated in real-time without affecting the performance of other tests.

💾 Saving Results

Press s at any time to save the current results to a timestamped text file for later analysis.

📊 Understanding the UI

The console interface displays:

• Individual Proxy Panels: Show detailed metrics for each proxy, including ping statistics, packet loss, jitter, and number of hops.
• Summary Table: Provides a quick comparison of all proxies based on key metrics.
• Best Proxy Panel: Highlights the proxy with the lowest composite score after the initial 30-second analysis.
• Information Panel: Explains the metrics and provides helpful tips.
• Countdown Timer: During the initial analysis, a countdown is displayed to indicate when the best proxy will be selected.

📌 Additional Notes

• Network Traffic: Be cautious when running this tool, as it generates continuous network traffic through ping and traceroute commands.
• Windows Compatibility: The script is optimized for Windows due to the use of msvcrt for capturing key presses and netsh for detecting the connection type.
• Dependencies: Ensure all dependencies are installed properly to avoid any runtime errors.
