Proxy Checker Online

About this tool

The XploreNetHub Online Proxy Checker tests whether a proxy server is functional and analyzes characteristics such as response time, anonymity level and geographic location.

It supports the main proxy types — HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 — and helps you validate whether a proxy is suitable for your needs.

Everything is done quickly and for free, with clear results to support privacy and connectivity decisions.

How to use

  2. Select the proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5).
  3. Start the check.
  4. Review whether the proxy is active, its speed and anonymity level.

Use cases

  • Check whether a purchased or free proxy actually works.
  • Evaluate the speed and reliability of a proxy server.
  • Check the anonymity level before using a proxy.

Frequently asked questions

What is a proxy server?

A proxy is an intermediate server that forwards your requests to the internet, and can hide your real IP, bypass restrictions or filter content.

What is the difference between HTTP and SOCKS proxies?

An HTTP proxy is geared toward web traffic, while SOCKS (4 and 5) is more generic and works with many traffic types, including non-HTTP protocols.

What does proxy anonymity level mean?

It indicates how much the proxy hides your identity: transparent proxies reveal your IP, anonymous ones hide the IP but signal proxy use, and elite proxies hide both.

Why does a proxy show as inactive?

It may be down, overloaded, require authentication or be blocked. Free proxies are often unstable.

Is the Proxy Checker free?

Yes. The XploreNetHub Online Proxy Checker is free and requires no sign-up.
