Proxy location checkerwhat country is your proxy really in?
A proxy sold as one country often exits another. Paste it here and this tool opens a real connection, reads the exit IP's true country, region and city from the network that owns it, and shows it next to whether the proxy even worked. No account, no install.

The test
The real exit,not the label
A location on a proxy list is a claim. The only honest answer is the country the exit IP actually resolves to right now, read from the network that owns it, which is what this does for every line.
01
Connect through the proxy
We open a real connection so the address you see is the exit IP the wider internet sees, the one a website would log, not the label on the list.
02
Read the exit country
The country, region and city come from the network that owns that exit IP, so a proxy sold as one country that actually exits somewhere else shows its true location here.
03
Show the network behind it
Alongside the location: the ASN and operator, whether it is datacenter or residential, plus speed and anonymity. Everything streams in per line.
Read it right
Country,and the network under it
The flag is half the story. What owns the exit IP, a home ISP or a datacenter, decides as much as the country does about whether a site treats the proxy as a real visitor.
What the location tells you
Exit country
Where the proxy's outbound IP resolves, read from the network that owns it. This is the location sites actually treat you as being in, which is the only one that matters for geo-targeting.
Network and operator
The ASN and the company behind the address. A residential ISP reads very differently from a datacenter host, and the same country can hide either, so the network tells you as much as the flag does.
Sold country vs real country
A proxy advertised as one place often exits another. Because this shows the true exit location next to a working or dead verdict, you can catch a mislabelled proxy before you rely on it.
Questions
Proxy location FAQ
The things people ask about where a proxy really is, answered against what the checker reads. If yours is not here, the live chat on this page reaches the people who run the network.
How do I check what country my proxy is in?
Paste it above and run the check. The tool opens a real connection through the proxy and reads the exit IP's country, region and city from the network that owns the address. You get the true location next to whether the proxy actually worked, free and with no account.
Is my proxy really in the country it claims?
This tool tells you. It reports the country the exit IP genuinely resolves to, so a proxy sold as one location that actually exits elsewhere shows its real country here, whether or not it connects. That mismatch is common with cheap lists and worth catching early.
Why does my proxy show a different country than expected?
Usually because the address was relabelled, or the list is stale and the IP has since moved networks. The location here comes from the current owner of the exit IP, not from whoever sold you the proxy, so it reflects where the address actually is now rather than where it was advertised.
What is the difference between a proxy's IP location and where I am?
The whole point of a proxy is that sites see the proxy's exit IP and its location, not yours. This checker shows that exit location, the one that matters for anything geo-targeted. Your own IP never appears here, only the address your traffic leaves from.
Can a website tell the real location behind a proxy?
It sees the exit IP's location and its network, which is exactly what this checker reads. It cannot see your true location through a working proxy, but it can tell a datacenter IP from a residential one, which is why the network shown here matters as much as the country for staying unblocked.
Where can I get proxies in a specific country?
Start with the free proxy list and check them here to see which are genuinely in the country you want. If you need addresses that stay in one place instead of ones you re-verify every morning, HProxy's pools target countries directly on the same network that just probed your list.
After the check
Need a country you can trust?Not one that moves overnight.
A free proxy's location is where it happens to be today, and it can be relabelled or gone tomorrow. If you need addresses that stay in the country you picked, the fix is a pool that targets it directly.
The upgrade
Residential proxies
$0.44per GB, and the balance never expires
Clean pools with city-level targeting and sticky sessions, running on the same network that just probed your list. You stop re-checking a file every morning, because the addresses are not shared out from under you.
