I am having a problem with proxy manager stuck with open threads after testing proxies. Testing has completed but still shows active threads and I can not transfer the working proxies to the proxy list. Hitting stop does not close the threads. I am guessing someone else has seen this problem.
Its related to something locking the threads, which means its something local on your machine/network. It doesn't happen for me and likely no one else either. Anti-virus, malware checkers, firewalls, 3rd party programs and router firewalls are the typical culprits. I think I answered you on Youtube and maybe another forum, so I won't write a bunch here.
But find out what is locking the threads and whitelist Scrapebox or uninstall the offending program and you should be good. You could try bypassing your router as a test, or try a mobile dongle, or friends network etc... Also you could try disabling the router firewall as a test.

This is the only running program on a VPS. I do not have access to test many of the options you mention.
You might have answered someone else but not me. First time I have ask for help anywhere with scrapebox. I appreciate the info.
You can try disabling windows defenders real time protection.
Basically for whatever reason a thread is being locked. It will sit like that forever until you kill the task, most likely.
A dirty work around would be to go into the configuration and use the option to auto save working proxies to file every X seconds, so then you could use the proxies, but that doesn't really solve the issue on the whole.

Does it Always do this or only sometimes?
It happens about 70% of the time. I have implemented the work around and it will get me by until I can figure out the cause.
Its hard to say. Most often it security software, such as anti-virus, firewall, malware checker etc... But not always, it can be any 3rd party program like skype, utorrent etc...
