Free online proxy checker

Proxy Checker: Test HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 Proxies Online

Paste up to 100 proxies and check which ones work. For each proxy you get the working protocols, response time, exit IP, country, ISP and anonymity level, with results you can filter and download.

  • HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5
  • Username and password support
  • Elite, anonymous or transparent
  • Export to TXT or CSV
Protocols to test

Supported formats

  • IP:PORT
  • IP:PORT:USER:PASS
  • USER:PASS@IP:PORT
  • socks5://USER:PASS@IP:PORT
  • IP,PORT,USER,PASS or IP:PORT,USER,PASS

Credentials are sent over HTTPS, used only for this check and never stored. To prevent abuse, we log your IP address, browser and the proxy addresses and results of each check for 30 days. Response times are measured from our checker server, so they can differ from what you see from your own location. Only test proxies you own or are allowed to use.

How to use it

How to Check a Proxy List Online

The checker connects to each proxy, sends a test request through it and records the result for every protocol you select. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Paste your proxies

One proxy per line, up to 100 per run. Mix formats freely; duplicates are removed automatically.

Pick the protocols

Select HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5. A line that starts with socks5:// or http:// is only tested with that protocol.

Review and export

Filter working or failed proxies, copy the working list, or download a full CSV report.

Reading the results

What the Proxy Check Results Mean

Each column answers one question about the proxy.

ColumnWhat it shows
StatusWorking if at least one selected protocol completed a test request through the proxy.
ProtocolsEach tested protocol, green if it worked and struck through if it failed. Hover a failed one to see the reason.
ResponseThe fastest full request time through the proxy, in milliseconds, measured from our checker server.
Exit IPThe IP address websites see. It can differ from the proxy IP when the provider uses a separate outgoing address.
Location and ISPCountry, city, ISP and ASN of the exit IP, based on IP geolocation data.
AnonymityElite, Anonymous or Transparent. HTTP proxies are measured from the headers they add to plain HTTP requests. SOCKS proxies and HTTPS-only tunnels cannot add headers, so they are Elite.
Anonymity levels

Elite, Anonymous and Transparent Proxies

The checker reads the headers a proxy adds to plain HTTP requests and compares them with the address of our checker. SOCKS proxies and HTTPS tunnels pass traffic through without touching it, so they cannot add these headers.

Elite

No proxy headers

The proxy adds no forwarding headers. Websites see only the exit IP and no sign that a proxy is in use.

Anonymous

Proxy is visible

Headers such as Via or X-Forwarded-For reveal that a proxy is used, but your original IP is not passed on.

Transparent

Your IP is forwarded

The proxy passes the original client IP to the website. It hides nothing and is unsuitable for privacy.

Proxies that pass the check

Dedicated Proxies From HighProxies

Every HighProxies proxy is a dedicated datacenter IP assigned to one customer. Our proxy servers strip forwarding headers, so HTTP proxies test as Elite. See current locations and availability.

FAQ

Proxy Checker FAQ

Common questions about checking proxies, formats, protocols and results.

What does a proxy checker do?

A proxy checker connects to each proxy and sends a test request through it. It reports whether the proxy works, which protocols it supports, how fast it responds, which exit IP and location websites see, and its anonymity level.

Which proxy formats are supported?

IP:PORT, IP:PORT:USER:PASS and USER:PASS@IP:PORT, optionally with a protocol prefix such as socks5:// or http://. Comma-, semicolon- or tab-separated lines such as IP,PORT,USER,PASS or IP:PORT,USER,PASS also work, with or without quotes. IPv6 addresses go in square brackets, for example [2001:db8::1]:8080.

What do Elite, Anonymous and Transparent mean?

Elite proxies add no forwarding headers. Anonymous proxies reveal that a proxy is used but hide your IP. Transparent proxies pass your original IP to the website. HTTP proxies are measured over plain HTTP; SOCKS proxies and HTTPS-only tunnels cannot add headers, so they are always Elite.

Why does a proxy work for HTTP but fail for SOCKS5?

A proxy port usually speaks one protocol. An HTTP proxy does not answer a SOCKS5 handshake, so that test times out. Test only the protocols your provider lists for that port to get faster results.

Why does my proxy show Authentication failed?

The username or password is wrong, or the proxy uses IP authorization and our checker's IP is not on its allow list. For IP-authorized proxies, test with username and password credentials instead.

Are my proxy credentials stored?

No. Credentials are sent over HTTPS, used only to run the check and never stored or logged. To prevent abuse, we log your IP address, browser user agent and the proxy addresses and results you check, and keep these logs for 30 days.

How many proxies can I check at once?

Up to 100 proxies per run. They are checked in parallel batches and results appear as each batch finishes.

Why is the response time different from mine?

Response times are measured from our checker server, not from your device. Distance between you, the proxy and the destination website changes the real speed you get.

Tired of Proxies That Fail the Check?

Get dedicated datacenter IPs that are assigned to you alone, with HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 support, username and password or IP authorization, and support through the client portal.
