Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IP privacy, proxy disguise, and how MyIP State works
What is the relationship between IP address and browser fingerprinting?
IP addresses and browser fingerprints are separate identifiers, but both affect online tracking. An IP reveals approximate location and network ownership, while a fingerprint reflects your browser and system environment. Better privacy requires consistency across both and watching for leaks.
Can I hide my IP address for free?
Free VPNs, proxies, or Tor can hide your real IP, but reliability and security vary widely. Choose reputable providers; paid services often offer better speed, nodes, and privacy policies.
How do I test proxy disguise with MyIP State?
Configure your HTTP/SOCKS proxy or VPN, open this page, leave the IP field empty, and click "This device" or "Check". MyIP State evaluates exit IP, DNS, WebRTC, and other signals. If the score is below 100%, review deductions and adjust your setup.
How do I check IP anonymity?
Run a device check on this page or enter an IP to inspect. MyIP State combines geolocation, hosting/proxy traits, RDAP data, and browser signals to assess anonymity and abuse risk.
What is IP disguise score and why does it matter?
Disguise score measures how well you hide your real exit IP and network traits. A higher score reduces the chance sites link your real identity, especially when using proxies or VPNs.
