Elite
The target cannot tell a proxy is in use. The real IP is hidden and no proxy headers are sent. Use this for scraping behind strict filters.

Proxy anonymity checker
See whether a proxy actually hides the real IP. Six HTTP headers decide Elite / Anonymous / Transparent, with a 0–100 score.How proxy anonymity works
What each grade means, and how leaks show up.
Headers we read
X-Forwarded-For
Forwards the original client IP. Presence usually means a leak.
X-Real-IP
Another header that may carry the client IP.
Via
Marks that a proxy was used. Advertises the proxy, not always the real IP.
Proxy-Connection
Similar to Via.
X-Proxy-ID
A proxy’s own identifier.
Forwarded
Standardized forwarding header; may include the real IP.
Leak types
- IP leak — forwarding headers hand the real IP to the target. This tool reads those six headers.
- DNS leak — DNS may bypass the proxy. This page only scores HTTP headers.
- WebRTC leak — STUN may report another address. Use IP & browser inspection for that.
Use cases
| Use case | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Scraping | Elite | Harder to fingerprint as a proxy |
| Social | Elite | Less likely to glue accounts to one egress |
| SEO / SERP | Elite / Anonymous | Fewer personalized results |
| Streaming | Anonymous | A different regional exit is enough |
| Caching | Transparent | Not meant to hide the IP |

FAQ
01What is proxy anonymity?＋
How well the proxy hides the real IP. Elite is clean, Anonymous hides the IP but is still detectable, Transparent leaks the IP in headers.
02How do you find the real IP?＋
The server fetches an echo through the proxy you submitted. If X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP / Forwarded contain the client IP from this page, it is a leak.
03Which proxy protocols are supported?＋
HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5. SOCKS5 supports username/password authentication; SOCKS4 uses USERID only. The test target is fixed to the echo service.
04Will you use my proxy against other hosts?＋
The target is a fixed echo, with an 8s timeout, and private addresses are rejected. We do not fetch arbitrary URLs through user proxies.
05Is it free?＋
Yes, with a rate limit, and no account required.
