Proxy Anonymity Checker
Proxy anonymity checker — elite, anonymous, or transparent with exit IP, geo, and forwarded headers.
About this tool
Route one HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxy through an echo test and see exactly what a target server would log: exit IP, response time, geo/ASN, and whether Via, X-Forwarded-For, or client IP headers are forwarded.
What you get
- Anonymity verdict: elite (no proxy headers), anonymous (proxy visible), or transparent (client IP forwarded)
- Exit IP with country, city, ASN, and organization
- Detected protocol when auto-detect is enabled
- Forwarded header names and values when present
- Whether exit IP matches the proxy host (dedicated vs rotating pools)
How to use
Paste one proxy in any supported format and click Check anonymity. Enable auto-detect for bare ip:port lines. For bulk lists, latency comparison, and export, use Proxy Checker.
FAQ
How to test if a proxy is elite or transparent?
Traffic goes through your proxy to an echo endpoint. The report shows exit IP, geo, and Via, X-Forwarded-For, Forwarded, and related headers the target would see.
What are elite vs anonymous vs transparent proxies?
Elite proxies hide proxy usage—no forwarding headers. Anonymous proxies may add headers revealing a proxy. Transparent proxies expose the client IP.
How is proxy anonymity different from proxy checker?
Anonymity focuses on one proxy with full header detail. Proxy Checker tests bulk lists, latency, exit geo, and export for working entries.
Should proxy exit IP match the proxy host?
Dedicated proxies often match. Rotating or gateway pools may show different exit IPs—that is normal and not an anonymity failure by itself.
What headers reveal a proxy to the target server?
Via, X-Forwarded-For, Forwarded, Proxy-Connection, and X-Real-IP are listed when present so you can judge transparency vs elite behavior.
Can I test HTTP proxy anonymity before scraping?
Yes—run one proxy through the echo test to see exactly what headers and exit IP a target site would log before routing crawlers or bots.
