Public IP: Where Your Request Comes From
Websites typically see the public IP address used when a request leaves the network, not your device’s local address. Check before and after connecting to see whether your browser’s egress IP changes.
If the address hasn’t changed, check your client’s connection status and routing rules. This page may be set to connect directly, and other apps may use different proxy settings.
Location and ISP: Database Estimates
The location is an estimate from an IP address database; the ISP is the provider associated with that address. Neither necessarily reflects your device’s actual location or shows the brand of your current subscription service.
IP databases can take time to update. Different sites may identify the same address differently, and platforms may also use account region or other information to determine access.
Proxy Detection: A Classification, Not a Verdict
“Proxy detected” means the API classified the current egress IP as proxy-related. It doesn’t identify the route type or indicate connection quality.
“No proxy detected” means only that the IP didn’t match that category. If the API returns no result, this page shows “Unable to retrieve results” rather than treating missing data as a negative finding.
