How to Test Proxies and Read Proxy Status
A live proxy status means the endpoint completed the fixed HTTPS request during this check, not merely that a socket opened. Read connectivity together with response time, exit IP, approximate location, and the observed forwarding-header or source-IP evidence.
Each result is a point-in-time observation from the current MiyaIP test service. Routing, load, rate limits, proxy lifecycle, and test-node location can change later, so availability does not equal long-term stability and anonymity does not equal security.
Choose HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5
HTTP is suitable for common web requests, while HTTPS targets require CONNECT tunnelling support. SOCKS4 is an older general TCP protocol with limited authentication support; SOCKS5 supports a broader range of TCP traffic and authentication.
Enter one endpoint per line, choose automatic detection or a specific protocol, and test up to ten proxies at once. An explicit URI scheme takes precedence, duplicate normalized endpoints are removed, and changing the input marks the existing result as stale.
Handle proxy credentials safely
Credentials are used only for the active backend connection. They are not returned in results, placed in URLs, logs, analytics, exports, local history, or browser storage; copied and exported endpoints are always redacted.
A fixed public HTTPS target keeps results comparable and prevents requests to private networks, cloud metadata, or arbitrary destinations. Public proxies remain untrusted and should never carry sensitive accounts, payments, or private business data.
How do I check whether an HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxy is working?
Enter one proxy per line, choose automatic detection or a specific protocol, and start the check. MiyaIP can test up to ten proxies in one batch. A live result means the endpoint completed the fixed HTTPS request during that check.
Does a live proxy status mean the proxy will remain stable?
No. Proxy status records only whether the endpoint completed the fixed HTTPS probe at that moment. Routing, load, rate limits, and the proxy lifecycle can change later, so repeat important checks.
What anonymity signals does the proxy checker report?
The result separates exit IP, forwarding-header evidence, and source-IP exposure into elite, anonymous, transparent, or unknown observations. These signals do not replace a security or trust assessment.
Why is there no composite trust score?
A single score can hide the basis for a conclusion. MiyaIP presents connectivity, protocol, response time, exit IP, location, and anonymity evidence separately so each item can be reviewed.
Can the proxy checker test proxies that require a username and password?
Yes. Supported input includes host-and-port forms with credentials and standard proxy URLs. Credentials are used for the current backend connection and are not returned in results, exports, or local history.
Why does MiyaIP use a fixed HTTPS probe instead of a custom test URL?
A fixed public probe keeps checks comparable and prevents the tool from being directed to private networks, cloud metadata, or arbitrary destinations. It confirms a real HTTPS request without promising broader access.
