Test if your proxy works and check its IP type, location, and privacy level.
A proxy validator (also called a proxy checker or proxy tester) is a tool that verifies whether a proxy server is reachable, functional, and trustworthy. When you configure a proxy - HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 - you need to know: does it actually work? What IP does the outside world see? Is that IP flagged as a proxy, a VPN, or a datacenter address? This tool answers all of those questions in one test, so you can confirm your proxy is doing its job before relying on it for automation, account management, or privacy.
Every signal our validator checks mirrors what platforms like Google, Instagram, and Cloudflare evaluate in real time. Understanding these detection methods helps you pick the right proxy for the job.
Mobile IPs
Mobile carrier IPs are shared among thousands of real smartphone users on the same network. Platforms see high traffic volume from these ranges and treat them as normal consumer behavior. They are rarely blacklisted, almost never flagged as proxies, and consistently earn the lowest risk scores in detection systems. For account management, scraping, or any task that requires blending in with organic traffic, mobile IPs are the gold standard.
Datacenter IPs
Datacenter IP ranges - AWS, DigitalOcean, OVH, Hetzner - are well-known to every platform's fraud detection team. The ASN alone is often enough to trigger heightened scrutiny, CAPTCHA challenges, or outright blocks. Even a clean datacenter IP that has never been abused will receive a higher risk score simply because of where it originates. If your proxy validator returns "datacenter" as the IP type, expect friction on any platform that takes trust signals seriously.
