How Accurate Is a Proxy Check for Detecting Hidden IPs? or Can a Proxy Check Really Tell If My IP Is

Proxy checks are hit or miss tbh. Most just scan blacklists or check for known VPN IPs.

If your VPN slips through, it’s probably because the proxy check tool isn’t updated or your VPN uses residential IPs (which are harder to detect).

Sites like IPQS or MaxMind dig deeper with things like ASN checks and behavior analysis, but even they aren’t perfect.

And yeah, most tools just flag both VPNs and proxies as "suspicious" without distinguishing.

If you really wanna test, try multiple proxy check tools and compare results.
