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

Proxy checks are like spam filters—they catch the obvious stuff but miss the clever ones.

Most just cross-reference IPs with blacklists. If your VPN uses fresh IPs, it’ll bypass them.

Tools like IPinfo or ProxyCheck.io are decent, but they’re not magic.

And no, they usually don’t care if it’s a VPN or proxy. Just "not a normal IP? Flag it."

For better results, try a combo of checks and manual testing.
