A proxy checker tells you whether each proxy is working right now and where it actually routes your traffic. For every proxy in your list, IPFighter reports its status (Active or Inactive), the exit IP the destination site sees, and the country and city tied to that IP. HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies are tested in parallel, so even a large list finishes in seconds.
How to read your proxy checker results
Active means the proxy accepted the connection and returned a valid response. Inactive means it refused, timed out or returned an error at the moment of testing, which is not necessarily permanent. An Inactive row shows no IP or location because no valid response came back. For Active proxies, compare the exit IP and location with what your provider promised: a different country or an IP that changes between checks usually means a rotating pool or a reassigned address. For a column-by-column walkthrough and what to do with each result, see how to check if a proxy is working.
Proxy anonymity levels
- Transparent: forwards your real IP in request headers, so the site sees both the proxy and your true IP. Offers no privacy.
- Anonymous: hides your real IP but still sends headers that reveal a proxy is in use.
- Elite (high anonymity): sends neither your real IP nor proxy headers, so it looks like a normal visitor.
Anonymity level depends on the headers a proxy adds, and this checker does not detect it. Confirm the level with your provider before using a proxy for privacy-sensitive work.
Why can an Active proxy still get blocked?
An Active status confirms connectivity, not quality. A proxy can connect perfectly and still be flagged because its exit IP belongs to a datacenter range, appears on a threat blocklist, or carries a poor reputation from previous users. After checking status here, run the exit IP through IP Lookup to see its connection type, blacklist status and reputation score before relying on it for logins or account work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a proxy checker?
A proxy checker is a tool that tests whether a proxy server is online and working. It connects through each proxy and reports its status along with the exit IP address, country, and city — so you can quickly separate a working list from the dead ones.
How does a proxy checker work?
The checker routes a request through each proxy to a target server and watches the response. If the proxy accepts the connection and returns a valid reply within the timeout, it is marked active; if it refuses, times out, or errors, it is marked inactive. IPFighter tests many proxies in parallel, so a large list finishes in seconds.
How can I check if a proxy is working?
Paste your proxies into the box — one per line — and run the check. Each proxy is tested and shown as active or inactive, together with its exit IP, country, and city. HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies are all supported.
What does proxy status “Active” or “Inactive” mean?
Active means the proxy accepted the connection and returned a valid response, so it is working. Inactive means it refused the connection, timed out, or returned an error and cannot be used right now.
What proxy formats are supported?
You can paste proxies in the common formats: host:port, host:port:username:password, username:password@host:port, username:password:host:port, and host:port@username:password. The checker detects the format automatically.
Why do some proxies fail during checking?
A proxy usually fails because it is offline, overloaded, expired, blocked by the destination server, or entered in the wrong format. A failed result reflects the proxy's own condition, not a problem with the checker.
Can I check multiple proxies at the same time?
Yes. You can paste a large list and check every proxy at once. IPFighter tests them in parallel, so hundreds of proxies are verified in seconds instead of one at a time.
