Here are several simple and effective testing methods to confirm your proxy IP is functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Use an IP Lookup Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After enabling your proxy, visit any of these sites to check your current IP address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ipinfo.io<\/strong> \u2014 Shows IP address, geolocation, and ISP information<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>whatismyipaddress.com<\/strong> \u2014 Detailed IP info with map location<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>ip.sb<\/strong> \u2014 Clean, minimal IP display page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to look for:<\/strong> If the displayed IP is different from your real IP and the geolocation matches the region you selected for the proxy, your proxy is working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Test via Command Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test an HTTP proxy:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -x http:\/\/username:password@proxy-ip:port https:\/\/ipinfo.io<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test a SOCKS5 proxy:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -x socks5:\/\/username:password@proxy-ip:port https:\/\/ipinfo.io<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If the response includes the proxy IP&#8217;s information (IP address, city, country), the connection is working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3: Use the Built-in Test in an Antidetect Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most antidetect browsers (e.g. AdsPower, VMLogin) include a built-in <strong>&#8220;Check Proxy&#8221;<\/strong> or <strong>&#8220;Test Connection&#8221;<\/strong> button when configuring a proxy profile. If the proxy IP&#8217;s geolocation is displayed, your configuration is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 4: Before-and-After Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Disable the proxy<\/strong> and visit ipinfo.io \u2014 record your real IP<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Enable the proxy<\/strong> and visit the same site again<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Compare the two results<\/strong> \u2014 the IP addresses should be completely different<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Check in Your Test Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Check Item<\/th><th>Expected Result<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>IP Address<\/strong><\/td><td>Different from your real IP<\/td><td>The basic indicator that the proxy is active<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Geolocation<\/strong><\/td><td>Matches your selected proxy region<\/td><td>Confirms the correct region was chosen<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>IP Type<\/strong><\/td><td>Matches what you purchased<\/td><td>Residential\/datacenter\/mobile should display correctly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Connection Speed<\/strong><\/td><td>Page loads normally<\/td><td>Confirms the proxy is usable<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: The test still shows my real IP?<\/strong><br>A: The proxy is not active. Check your settings and protocol. See <a href=\"\/doc\/docs\/proxy-connection-troubleshooting\/\">Proxy Not Connecting? Troubleshooting Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: The displayed location does not match the region I selected?<\/strong><br>A: Some IP databases have geolocation inaccuracies \u2014 this is normal. If the discrepancy is large, try regenerating the proxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: The proxy is very slow?<\/strong><br>A: Try switching to a proxy region closer to the target website&#8217;s servers. Datacenter IPs are generally faster than residential IPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/doc\/docs\/proxy-connection-troubleshooting\/\">Proxy Not Connecting?
