When it comes to proxies, your choice matters. Choosing a **reliable provider of high-quality proxies **that is well-regarded by users on the web is the only way to leave nothing to chance.

A slow, low-quality IP may ultimately do more harm than good, potentially exposing your private information to unauthorized users and cyber criminals. Worse, poor performance could bring your operations to a halt.

Using our online proxy checking tool, you can verify your proxy's** location, type, status, speed, and overall performance **before configuring it for your device. This ensures you can confidently bypass geo-restrictions, automate operations, and stay [incognito proxy](https://marsproxies.com/blog/incognito-proxy/) with a verified high-performing [proxy server issues](https://marsproxies.com/blog/proxy-server-issues/).

## Why a Proxy Checker Matters

It's always a good idea to verify the status and performance of your proxies before you use them. **Each proxy handles all incoming and outgoing traffic on your behalf.** When it’s compromised in any way, several problems can arise:

- **Security vulnerabilities**

The proxy may **fail to protect your sensitive data**, exposing it to interception. Sometimes, hackers set up fake proxies to intercept your data before it reaches its target.

- **Privacy risks**

An unreliable proxy may** leak your IP because of improper configuration or intentional negligence.** This means websites can see your actual [IP address](https://marsproxies.com/blog/fake-ip-address/), exposing you to tracking or even targeted attacks.

- **Performance issues**

Imagine waiting for a page to load, waiting, waiting, waiting. That’s what happens when using slow proxies. Typical causes include **overloaded servers, poor infrastructure, or high latency.**

- **IP blocks**

Unreliable proxies tend to **reuse IPs that websites have flagged or **[**blocked for one reason**](https://marsproxies.com/blog/how-to-access-blocked-sites-in-chrome/)** or another.** Have you ever tried to use a proxy IP only for you to see a message like “Access Denied”? This is why.

- **Operational downtime**

**An unreliable proxy may suddenly go offline right when you are in the middle of something important.** Whether you are scraping data from the web, using automated tools to manage your social media accounts, or accessing geo-restricted content, you either have to wait for the IPs to come back online or look for alternatives.

## MarsProxies Online Proxy Checker Overview

You can use **MarsProxies Online Proxy Checker to verify your proxies **before you start using them.

- **Paste proxies in any format**

For ease of use, you can paste your proxies in several popular formats: **host:port:user:pass, host:port\@user:pass, user:pass:host:port**, and **user:pass\@host**.

Step 2: Click the **Add Proxies (1)** button.

Step 4: Scroll down to the generated proxy sessions on the same page. Note that each line represents a unique set of credentials. You can copy all of them by clicking the **Copy list (7)** button.

Step 5: Go back to the proxy checker. Choose the **host:port:user:pass (8)** format.

Step 6: Paste your credentials in the **Proxies (9)** field by pressing Control + V on Windows or Command + V on MacOS. Click **Submit (10)**.

Step 7: Wait for the checker to finish testing your proxies. You can now see the details for each session, including the **location, type, status, and response speed (11).**

Step 8: Click the **Export active proxies (12)** button at the bottom right corner of the screen to export your proxies. The tool will download an Excel sheet with these IPs and their corresponding credentials.

That’s it! You have successfully tested your proxies’ performance and functionality. You can now add them to [our Chrome extension](https://marsproxies.com/tools/google-chrome-extension/) or use them elsewhere.
