Do you have proxies configured on your device and you are not sure what the proxy address is? It might interest you to know the proxy server you are connected to especially if you work with multiple proxy addresses so as to know which you are using at any given time. Fortunately for us, the proxy configuration<\/a> is one of the easiest details you can find out on your computer.<\/p>\n

However, as the saying goes, unless you know how to get something done. No matter how easy it is \u2013 it becomes difficult. For this reason, we have provided for you below, 3 methods you can use to find out your proxy server address.<\/p>\n

One thing you need to know is that the proxy server address can be either in the form of an IP address or a subdomain and it is just the address to the proxy server and not the actual IP address<\/a> through which your requests would be routed through.<\/p>\n\n

Except for proxies set up remotely as can be the case when you are using a Wi-Fi network, the proxy settings and configuration is done on your computer. For you to be finding out the proxy address, then it means you weren\u2019t the person that configure the proxy or you have forgotten the steps.<\/p>\n

If the proxy server has been set up globally on your computer, you can check the default proxy setting for the proxy address. Below is how to check it for Mac and Windows.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes, proxy configuration is not done from global settings \u2013 it could be from within the browser interface. This means that the global proxy configuration can be empty but you are actually using a proxy server<\/a>.<\/p>\n
So, if you know the settings have been done from the browser, then you can follow the steps below depending on your browser to find out the proxy address. Chrome and Safari do not have an in-app proxy setting \u2013 it uses the OS default setting.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>#3 Microsoft Edge<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> From the edge menu icon, select \u201cSettings\u201d.<\/p>\n

The third method of checking proxy address is by using an online IP checker to find out your proxy address. There are some web applications\/websites that you can use to find out your IP address. This is possible because no communication takes place online without your device giving out your IP address<\/a> \u2013 there are some tools that are developed to provide you with such IP address together with other IP-related information<\/a>.<\/p>\n
There are many of them in the market but we would be using IPinfo.io<\/a> to show you how it is done. One thing you need to know is that while the other methods above provide you the proxy address as provided by the proxy provider, this tool will provide you with the real IP address being assigned to your requests.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Visit the ipinfo.io<\/a> website using any browser of your choice.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong>\u00a0 When the page loads, you will see a section on the right-hand side of the page that provides information about your IP address. The IP address you see there is the proxy\u2019s IP address. If you are not using a proxy, then the IP address is your actual IP address.<\/p>\n
