Overview

This node operation tests the proxy connection for Facebook sessions using cUrl and WebSocket extensions. It is designed to verify if the proxy settings are correctly configured and functional, which is crucial for running n8n locally or on a VPS in the same country as the Facebook account IP to avoid checkpoint issues. This node is beneficial for users who need to ensure their proxy setup works properly before performing Facebook-related automation tasks.
