Every connection matters. Every request counts. Data moves at scale, and your infrastructure should too.
After setting up a proxy, it's important to verify that your connection is actually routing through the proxy server and that your real IP address is hidden. BrowserScan is a free online tool that makes this verification quick and easy — showing you your current IP address, location, browser fingerprint, and whether any anonymity leaks are detected.
BrowserScan (browserscan.net) is a browser analysis tool that reveals the information your browser exposes to the websites you visit. In addition to your IP address and geographic location, it shows your browser fingerprint data including:
For proxy users, the most important check is whether your real IP address is visible and whether any WebRTC or DNS leaks are exposing your true location.
Get your proxy credentials. Log in to your NinjaProxy dashboard and note down your proxy server's IP address, port number, username, and password.
Configure your proxy. Set up the proxy in your browser, scraping tool, or application. For browser setup, use your browser's network/proxy settings to enter the IP address, port, and authentication credentials.
Visit BrowserScan. With your proxy active, navigate to browserscan.net in your browser. The page will immediately show your current IP address and location as seen by the website.
Once on BrowserScan, check the following:
If all checks pass, your proxy is working correctly and your real IP address is hidden.
NinjaProxy offers five proxy types to suit different anonymity and performance needs:
For maximum anonymity on BrowserScan and similar tools, residential and mobile proxies will show the most convincing real-user profiles. Datacenter IPs may show as "datacenter" under the ISP field on some tools, which is normal behavior.
