About Proxy Check

This tool scans your current IP address and connection headers to determine if you are connecting through a proxy server. Unfortunately, not all proxies can be detected — especially those configured to completely hide your originating IP.

When using a VPN service you are effectively routing your traffic through a proxy server, causing your visible IP to appear as the VPN server's IP rather than your own.
