Connect Python

Use these steps on macOS or Linux with Python 3 and a generated connection. Select HTTP / HTTPS for this example. Use the same terminal throughout.

Install Requests

In your terminal:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install requests

Save this as proxy_check.py

from getpass import getpass
import requests

proxy = getpass("Paste your connection URL: ")
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.ipify.org?format=json",
    proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy},
    timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json()["ip"])

Run it

python proxy_check.py

Choose the full URL in Format, then click Copy in ProxyLane. Paste it at the prompt and press Enter. It stays hidden while you paste.The script prints the IP used for that request. On the same computer, open the IP check in a browser with its proxy off. If the IPs match, check your proxy settings. Otherwise, test your intended website.

Keep the copied URL private. Fix an error · Get help · Requests proxy reference
