How to check if internet connection from is proxy is lost or present?

I am building a Selenium bot and have to use that script multiple times in a go. The problem with the script is that the proxy I am using rotated itself in every 10-12 mins and when it rotates, the internet connection is lost for 10-15 seconds which results in either freezing of the page or breaking the code.

I want to check the internet connection from proxy at every step in my script, if that is present, I will move forward and if not, I will wait for some 30 sec so the connection is automatically restored.

Is there any way I can check the connection? or any other better way to deal with this problem?

You could you socket to check the internet connection.

socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())

Or you could use requests to check the response code if there’s connection or not.
