WHAT IS
MY IP?
The address, location, network and headers your connection presents to every site you visit — then a full check for the leaks and mismatches that get a proxied session flagged. Read from your own request. Location and network data come from Cloudflare, which already carries this page; no other party sees your address, and nothing is stored.
Reading your connection…
CHECK IT FROM
YOUR CODE
The same data is available as JSON at /api/ip, with CORS open and caching disabled. Point your scraper at it through your proxy and compare the result with what you see above — if the two match, your client is not using the proxy at all.
# your real address
curl "https://proxeasy.net/api/ip"
# the address your proxy presents
curl -x "http://user:pass@GATEWAY_HOST:PORT" \
"https://proxeasy.net/api/ip"
# different "ip" values means the proxy is workingWHY A WORKING PROXY
STILL GETS FLAGGED
A target site does not just read your IP. It compares your address against your clock, your language, your browser's automation flags and what WebRTC reports — and a contradiction between any two of them is a stronger signal than the address itself. The full check runs each of those comparisons in your browser and tells you what a site would infer.
- WebRTC leak
- Whether a page can read a different address than your HTTP traffic exits from.
- Timezone
- Whether your browser clock agrees with where your exit says you are.
- Language
- Whether your browser languages agree with your exit country — weak alone, telling in combination.
- Automation
- The cheap headless and driver flags a bot-detection script reads before it looks at your IP.
- Exit stability
- Whether five sequential requests come from one address or several, and the round-trip spread.
Not covered: an IPv6 leak test. Doing it honestly needs an IPv6-only hostname, and serving one would mean routing you through a third party we do not control. We would rather leave the gap visible than fake the result.
IP ADDRESS
QUESTIONS
What is my IP address?
It is the address your traffic appears to come from — shown above, read from your own request. Every site you visit sees it, because it is how the response finds its way back to you. If you are connected through a proxy or VPN, the address shown is the exit you are routed through, not the one your ISP assigned you.
How do I check whether my proxy is actually working?
Load this page directly, note the address, then request it again through your proxy — curl -x "http://user:pass@host:port" https://proxeasy.net/api/ip. If the two addresses differ, traffic is going through the proxy. If they match, your client is ignoring the proxy setting, which is the most common cause of a scraper that is silently unprotected.
Why does my IP look different from what my proxy provider told me?
Usually one of three things: the provider gave you a gateway host rather than the exit address, you are on a rotating pool so the exit changes between requests, or your client is resolving DNS or making some requests outside the proxy. Compare several consecutive checks — if the address changes each time, you are on a rotating exit and that is expected.
Does this tool store my IP address?
No. The endpoint reads the address from the request headers, returns it to you, and keeps nothing. City, region and network detail work the same way: Cloudflare already terminates the connection to this page, so it attaches that data as headers we read, not as a lookup we perform. Nothing is sent to a third party to be resolved.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 here?
An IPv4 address looks like 203.0.113.10; IPv6 looks like 2001:db8::1. Some targets treat IPv6 traffic differently, and a scraper configured for one can silently connect over the other. If you expected IPv4 and see IPv6, that mismatch is worth fixing before you debug anything else.
Is my proxy anonymous or transparent?
Three levels. Elite means nothing in your request announces a proxy at all. Anonymous means a header such as Via or Proxy-Connection tells the site a proxy is in the path, but no address behind it leaks. Transparent means a forwarding header carries an address from behind the proxy, so the site can see past it. The check above reports which of the three your current connection is. Note that these headers can be forged by anything upstream of us, so an address shown there is what a hop claimed, not proof of who you are.
What is a WebRTC leak and does it expose my real IP?
WebRTC is the browser API behind video calls, and it discovers your public address directly rather than through your HTTP proxy. On a misconfigured setup a page can read that address in a few lines of JavaScript while every HTTP request still goes through the proxy — so the site sees both. The full check compares the address WebRTC reports against the address your HTTP traffic exits from. If they differ, that is a leak, and no proxy setting fixes it: you disable WebRTC or route it through the same tunnel.
Why does my IP change between requests?
Because you are on a rotating pool, which assigns a different exit per connection. That is the intended behaviour for spreading scraping load, and it breaks anything that ties a session to an address — logins, carts, multi-step forms. The full check makes five sequential requests and reports how many distinct addresses came back, which is the fastest way to tell a rotating pool from a sticky session.
Why does my timezone matter if my IP is right?
Because a site can read your clock with one line of JavaScript and compare it to your address. An exit in Frankfurt with a browser reporting America/New_York is a contradiction no residential IP can explain, and it is the single most common way a proxied session gets flagged. The full check compares your browser timezone against the timezone of your exit and distinguishes a different zone name at the same UTC offset, which is minor, from a genuinely different offset, which is not.
Need an address that is not your own? 4G mobile proxies give you a dedicated carrier IP, and 5G adds throughput for heavier transfers. If you are comparing providers, our comparisons cover billing and access rather than marketing claims.
