Proxy Anonymity Checker

Use this proxy anonymity checker to classify a proxy as elite, anonymous, transparent, or unknown by comparing its exit IP with seven common HTTP header signals.

Check proxy anonymity and headers

A proxy URI scheme overrides the dropdown. Your browser IP is compared only on this page and is never sent to the anonymity API.

What This HTTP Proxy Header Test Measures

MiyaIP obtains a direct-request baseline, sends a request through the proxy to the same fixed HTTP target, and compares the target's observed exit address with seven common forwarding and proxy-header signals. The result answers whether this request exposed the test-node source address or recognizable proxy traces.

The proxy request begins at the MiyaIP test node, so that node is the source a proxy could expose. Your browser's public IP is used only for a local exit comparison and is never sent in the proxy anonymity request.

How This Proxy Anonymity Test Classifies Each Proxy

Elite means the source address was hidden and none of the seven known proxy-added headers was observed. Anonymous means the source was hidden but headers such as Via or Forwarded revealed proxy use. Transparent means the source was not replaced or a forwarding header contained it.

Unknown is used when the proxy is unavailable, evidence is incomplete, or a reliable direct baseline cannot be obtained. Each of the seven header checks remains visible so the classification can be reviewed without exposing raw header values.

Anonymity evidence is not a security guarantee

This server-side test does not detect browser WebRTC, client DNS routing, browser fingerprinting, account association, operator logging, malicious content, or long-term stability. Use the browser environment check for browser-side IPv4, IPv6, DNS, and WebRTC signals.

Credentials are used only for the active backend connection, and copies, exports, results, URLs, and history are redacted. Retest after changing the endpoint or protocol, and never send sensitive traffic through a proxy you do not trust regardless of its rating.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the proxy anonymity checker determine the result?

MiyaIP compares a direct-request baseline with a request through the proxy to the same fixed HTTP target. It checks the exit IP and seven known headers, then reports elite, anonymous, transparent, or unknown from the available evidence.

What does an elite proxy result mean?

Elite means this request hid the test-node source IP and the target did not observe any of the seven known proxy-added headers. It does not evaluate the operator, encryption, logging policy, malicious content, or account security.

Why does the test use the MiyaIP server IP instead of my public IP?

The proxy request starts from the MiyaIP test node, so that node is the source a proxy could expose. Your browser public IP is used only for a local exit comparison and is not the source of the server-side request.

Why does the HTTP proxy header test use a fixed HTTP request?

HTTPS request headers are inside an encrypted tunnel and cannot normally reveal headers added by an HTTP proxy. A fixed HTTP echo target exposes Forwarded, Via, and related evidence without carrying your browsing data or accepting a custom destination.

Can this proxy anonymity test detect WebRTC, DNS, or browser fingerprint leaks?

No. It measures the test-node source address, proxy exit, and seven HTTP headers. Use the browser environment tool for browser-side IPv4, IPv6, DNS, and WebRTC signals.

Why are raw HTTP header values not displayed?

The classification needs only whether the proxy added a header and whether it contains the test-node source address. Hiding raw values reduces exposure of proxy identifiers and internal information while preserving a reviewable status for every check.

Are proxy credentials saved?

No. Credentials are used only for the current backend connection and do not appear in responses, copied summaries, exports, the address bar, browser history, or saved results.
