Public IP check: what sites see from this browser
Our server read this address from your visit as the page loaded. With a proxy active in this browser, it should be the proxy’s exit IP rather than your office line.

Three moments when teams open this page
It answers one question: which address does the outside world see from this browser right now? Teams tend to need that answer at the points below.
Setting up IP-whitelist access
If your proxy order uses IP authentication instead of a username and password, load this page from the office network with the proxy switched off. The address shown is the one to add to the whitelist in your dashboard. Repeat from every office or server that will connect.
Before a market check starts
Switch the proxy on in the browser you plan to use and reload. If the address changes, the browser is going through the proxy; if your office address is still there, it isn’t yet. Then confirm the country in the IP location lookup.
When a colleague reports a problem
Ask them to open this page in the browser they are working in and send you the address and reverse DNS name. You will see at once whether their traffic leaves through the proxy, which saves a round of guesswork before anyone contacts support.
A proxy changes the IP and reverse DNS shown above, while the User-Agent comes from the browser itself and normally stays as it is. The User-Agent checker explains what yours says about the device.
