Proxy Check in Java

I try to check if a proxy is online or not. But everytime an Exception is thrown. I also tried it with System.setProperty (), but that doesn't work either...

My method:

public static boolean isOnline(String host, int port)
{
    String url = "http://www.google.com";
    try
    {
        Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(host, port));
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection(proxy);
        connection.connect();
        return true;

    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

The Exception:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Try this:

public static boolean isOnline(){
    System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "failProxyIP");
    System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "failProxyPort");
    try {
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)new URL("http://www.google.com").openConnection();
        connection.connect();
        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return false;
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(isOnline()); //prints false
}
