proxy.exposed

A simple API to let you test proxy servers to determine IP address - and other identifying information - exposure

Example Response

GET http://proxy.exposed/?ip=22.33.44.55

{
  "proxy": "elite",
  'headers': {
    'Host': 'proxy.exposed',
    'Connection': 'close',
    'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.28.1',
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
    'Accept': '*/*'
    },
  "proxy_headers": {},
  "requesting_ip_address": "1.2.3.4",
  "real_ip_leak": false
}

Usage

Issue a GET request through your proxy server to the specified URL below (there are two interfaces: http and https, depending on the capabilities of your proxy server) including the parameter ip set to your true IP address.

Discover your ip address here.

HTTP

http://proxy.exposed/?ip=your.real.ip.address

HTTPS

https://proxy.exposed/?ip=your.real.ip.address

Your request will be searched for any exposure of your true IP address and its headers compared for any match against a list of proxy-specific headers.

The results of the check and a classification of the requesting proxy will be returned.

Using Python Requests

import requests

try:
    r = requests.get(
        'http://proxy.exposed', # http
        params = {
            'ip': '░░░.▒▒▒.███.▓▓' # replace with your ip
        }, 
        proxies = {
            'http' : 'http://user:pass@proxy.server:5225'
        }
    )
    r.raise_for_status()
    print(r.json())
except:
    pass

Proxy Definitions

Elite

The target server does not know that the client is using a proxy, and the client's IP address is not visible.

Anonymous

The target server sees that the client is using a proxy, but does not see the client's IP address.

Transparent

The client's origin IP address is visible to the target server.

To know

• Use without any limits (😌😬).

• If you get redirected back here, or this page is returned to you from a request, it likely means you did not include the ip parameter in your request.

• It should go without saying, but I'll say it just in case, no, your real ip address is not saved, neither shared with anyone.
