Proxy Checker: See the IP Address Websites Observe

Check the IP address Mexela observes, compare direct and proxied web routes, inspect forwarding signals, and learn what a browser proxy test can prove.

This free browser utility checks only the current page request. It does not ask for proxy credentials or send a request to a target you enter.

Diagnostic evidence

Forwarding-related header signals

Raw forwarding-header values are not displayed. Header presence can help with diagnostics, but it is not trusted as the client identity because request headers can be omitted, changed, or supplied by the client.

X-Forwarded-For: present X-Forwarded-Proto: present

What this proxy checker can prove

  • The valid IP address observed by Mexela for this page request.
  • Whether that address is IPv4 or IPv6.
  • Whether this page arrived over HTTPS and which HTTP protocol the server reports.
  • Whether known forwarding-related header names were present, without exposing their values.

What this checker cannot prove

  • It does not prove anonymity, privacy, safety, or a clean IP reputation.
  • It does not test DNS, WebRTC, GPS, timezone, account history, or every application on the device.
  • It does not guarantee a physical country or city, destination access, latency, or session stability.
  • It does not validate proxy credentials or connect to an arbitrary proxy endpoint.

Repeatable workflow

Compare a direct and proxied request

  1. Open this page without the proxy and record the observed address as a direct baseline.
  2. Configure one approved proxy endpoint in the browser, operating system, or application you intend to use.
  3. Reload this clean URL and record the new observed address, family, HTTPS state, and time.
  4. Confirm that an address change matches the endpoint you expected; do not rely on header presence alone.
  5. Test DNS, WebRTC, location databases, destination behavior, and stability separately when the workflow needs them.

Common questions

Proxy checker FAQ

Does this proxy checker prove I am anonymous?

No. It reports the address observed for this HTTP request. It does not prove anonymity, browser-wide coverage, safety, or destination acceptance.

Why did my observed IP address not change?

The browser or application may not be using the configured proxy, the proxy may have failed, or a system policy may be controlling a different route.

Can a forwarding header reveal my original IP address?

A proxy can add forwarding information, but request headers can also be missing, changed, or supplied by the client. This checker shows presence only and does not trust them as identity.

Does this checker test DNS or WebRTC leaks?

No. DNS resolution and WebRTC can use paths separate from the page request. Test those signals independently in the browser and application you actually use.

Should I paste proxy credentials into this page?

No. This checker does not ask for a proxy host, port, username, password, or token. Configure the proxy in your own approved client, then reload the page.

How do I compare direct and proxied results?

Record the observed address without the proxy, configure one endpoint in the real client, reload this page, and compare the address and connection evidence.
