Residential IP Anonymity Self-Test Guide: Three Steps to See the Real Deal
Want to know if your proxy IP really hides your identity? Take a blank piece of paper and write down these three URLs:ipleak.net,browserleaks.com/ip,ipx.ac/run.. Visit each of these places one by one with the proxy turned on, focusing on these three places:
1. Whether the geographic location of the IP address is consistent with the proxy settings
2. Whether DNS requests have local operator information leakage
3. Whether the WebRTC connection exposes the real network environment
Taking ipipgo's residential IP as an example, with its native home broadband resources, it can ensure that these three detections show up as real residential network characteristics, just like the normal traces of a normal home user surfing the Internet.
Core indicators for the three levels of anonymity certification
A true anonymous proxy needs to fulfill three levels of authentication:
| level | Detection Points | Achievement Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| base layer | IP type identification | Shows as residential broadband, not server room IPs |
| mesosphere | Protocol Handshake Characteristics | No proxy fingerprinting, TCP handshake packets are consistent with normal devices |
| high level | Related Information Verification | WHOIS information corresponds to real home users, no service provider labeling |
ipipgo's residential proxies are configured with carrier-grade routing so that each IP's ASN information and registration records are exactly the same as those of the local broadband user, a technical detail that many proxy service providers cannot do.
Demonstration of real-world testing process
Turn on your browser's No Trace Mode and follow this sequence:
1. Visit whatismyipaddress.com to confirm the IP address.
2. Check all the boxes on the ipleak.net page.
3. Run the WebRTC inspection tool to view local network exposure
4. Testing HTTP headers with the curl command (fields such as X-Forwarded-For)
When ipipgo's proxy connection is tested in real life, all the test results will present real home network characteristics. For example, the proxy server-specific via field does not appear in HTTP headers, and underlying parameters such as TCP window size simulate real user devices.
Dynamic/Static IP Selection Policy
Select the IP type according to the usage scenario:
Dynamic Residential IPIdeal for scenarios that require frequent switching, such as data collection. ipipgo's dynamic pool supports changing the exit IP on request and matches the real up and down behavioral patterns of local residents with each switch.
Static Residential IPIt is more suitable for scenarios that require a long-term stable identity, with an IP survival period of up to 30-90 days, during which the network characteristics of the same home broadband are always maintained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do some proxies show "Data Center Network"?
A: It indicates the use of a server room server IP, which is naturally less anonymous. It is recommended to use a purely residential proxy resource like ipipgo instead.
Q: What can I do if I detect a DNS leak?
A: Enable DNS passthrough function in the proxy settings, ipipgo users can check the "Force remote DNS resolution" option in the control panel.
Q: Does the same IP being used by multiple users affect anonymity?
A: Professional service providers will control the IP multiplexing rate. ipipgo's IP pool supports up to 3 concurrent sessions per exit IP, much lower than the 20+ concurrent configurations of common proxies.
With these five levels of detection and configuration adjustments, along with ipipgo's worldwide coverage of real residential IP resources, users can effectively establish a network environment that meets the criteria for Level 3 anonymity. Remember, true anonymity is not about hiding IPs, it is about making the network behavioral profile identical to that of a real home user.
