Proxy Anonymity Checker
Test one proxy for anonymity level — elite, anonymous, or transparent — with forwarded header details.
About this tool
Connect through a single HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxy and inspect what the remote server sees: exit IP, response time, geo/ASN, and whether proxy-identifying or client-identifying headers are forwarded.
What you get
- Anonymity verdict: elite (no proxy headers), anonymous (proxy headers only), or transparent (client IP forwarded)
- Exit IP with country, city, ASN, and organization
- Detected protocol when auto-detect is enabled
- Forwarded header values when present
- Whether exit IP matches the proxy host address
How to use
Paste one proxy line in any supported format and click Check anonymity. Enable auto-detect when the scheme is omitted (ip:port). For bulk checks with export, use Proxy Checker.
FAQ
What are elite vs anonymous proxies?
Elite proxies hide that a proxy is used—no Via or X-Forwarded-For headers. Anonymous proxies forward traffic but may add headers revealing a proxy sits in the path.
How is proxy anonymity tested?
Traffic goes through your proxy to a plain-HTTP echo endpoint on our origin. The response shows exit IP, geo, and any Via, X-Forwarded-For, Forwarded, Proxy-Connection, or X-Real-IP headers the target would see.
Should exit IP match the proxy host?
For dedicated proxies it often does. Rotating or gateway pools may show different exit IPs—that is normal and not an anonymity failure by itself.
When should I use Proxy Anonymity vs Proxy Checker?
Use Anonymity for a deep single-proxy report with header details. Use Proxy Checker for bulk lists, export, rotation tests, and latency comparison.
