Oxylabs Proxy Checker
Oxylabs gives you a residential gateway endpoint plus, on datacenter plans, a set of IPs. Paste the residential gateway with your credentials to see the exit IP it routes you through, or paste datacenter IPs line by line to validate each one. Either way you get alive status, latency, exit country, ISP, and proxy type, so you can confirm your Oxylabs setup works before running a real job.
Live checking is discontinued
ProxyChecker.dev no longer runs proxy checks, the API, MCP tools or paid plans. Nothing on this site tests a proxy anymore. The guides below still explain how proxy testing works and what to look for.

Frequently asked questions
How do I test Oxylabs residential proxies?
Oxylabs residential uses a gateway endpoint (host:port) with a username that can encode country and session. Paste it as ip:port:user:pass and the check reports the exit IP assigned, confirming the gateway and any targeting parameters are working.
How do I test Oxylabs datacenter proxies?
Datacenter plans provide individual IPs. Paste them one per line with your auth and the checker validates each separately, reporting alive/dead, latency, and location for every IP.
My Oxylabs proxy connects but lands in the wrong country, why?
The country targeting is set in the gateway username. If the exit IP's country doesn't match what you intended, the parameter is likely misformatted. The checker's reported country makes this easy to spot and fix.
Can I bulk-check my Oxylabs datacenter list?
Yes. The free tier checks 50 at once, a $5 one-time pack covers 5,000 validations, and npx proxychecker-dev list.txt runs the same check from your terminal with CSV output.
