Public IP: the address websites see
This is the public address seen when your request reaches this site, not your device’s local network address. When a proxy is enabled, whether your egress IP changes depends on the client mode, routing rules, and browser settings.
To compare, copy the results before and after connecting. If the address hasn’t changed, first check that the client is connected and that this site’s requests aren’t set to bypass the proxy.
Location: how IP databases classify an address
The country or region reflects how a database classifies the egress IP; it doesn’t indicate your device’s physical location. Database update schedules, IP transfers, and provider registration details can all affect the result.
If the location doesn’t match your selected route, switch routes and check again. A website’s own location rules determine how it identifies your region.
ISP: the provider associated with the egress IP
When you’re connected through a proxy, this may show the provider for the egress network rather than your local internet provider. A missing field means the lookup service didn’t return valid information; it doesn’t mean the connection has failed.
The ISP name alone can’t tell you the route’s speed or quality, or whether a particular service is accessible.
Proxy detection: one useful clue
“Proxy detected” means the lookup service flagged this egress IP as a proxy. “No proxy detected” only means it wasn’t identified this time; it doesn’t prove that you aren’t using one.
If the lookup service doesn’t return a clear result, this page shows “Temporarily unavailable” rather than treating a missing field as a negative result.
