AdsPower Proxy Checker Results: What Each Field Means

Read an AdsPower proxy check result field by field and know what to do next.

What the AdsPower proxy check actually tests

The check opens a connection through the proxy you entered, using the type you picked (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 or SSH), and then reports what it learned about the exit address. If the connection cannot be made, you get "Connection test failed". If it works, AdsPower lists country, region, state or province, city, latitude, longitude and ZIP code for the exit IP.

So a green result answers one question only: can this proxy be reached with these settings. It does not say the IP is clean, that it suits your platform, or that the profile's time zone is right. Those you check separately.

What each result tells you

What each result tells you
ItemWhat it meansIf it looks wrong
Connection test failedThe check could not connect or authenticate with the settings givenGo through the failure checklist: type, host, port, login, your network
Country, region, state, cityWhere the lookup database places the exit IPCompare with the country you bought; a different city is usually database noise, a different country is not
Latitude and longitudeA point the database assigns to the IP, not the user's streetDo not match it to an address; use it only to see the area
ZIP codeThe database's postcode for that pointExpect small differences between databases
Local Network: IP, location, time zoneWhat AdsPower sees on your own connection without the proxyIf this shows the proxy address, you may have a system proxy or VPN running underneath
Time sync: abnormalThe local clock differs from the server by more than 5 minutesTurn on automatic time and retest
Delay, if your version shows oneNot explained in the article we readJudge by how pages load in the profile; no thresholds are given

Fields as listed in the AdsPower Network Diagnostics article read on 13 November 2026; the interpretation column is ours. Screens differ between versions.

Read a result in order

  1. Step 1: did it connect?

    If you see "Connection test failed", stop reading locations and fix the connection first.

  2. Step 2: is the country the one you bought?

    Compare the country, then the region. Do not chase a different city or ZIP code.

    Expected result The country matches.

  3. Step 3: separate your own network from the proxy

    Look at Local Network. It should show your real connection, not the proxy exit.

  4. Step 4: check the profile settings that follow the IP

    Time zone and language of the profile should agree with the exit country; open the profile and read them there.

    Expected result No mismatch between exit country and profile time zone.

Common situations

The check passes in AdsPower but the site still says the IP is poor

Check The proxy test only proves the connection. Check type, native status and score with a purity tool.

Fix Run the IP purity check through the same proxy.

Stop when If several tools flag the same address, replace the IP instead of retesting.

The country is right but the city is not

Check Compare with a second lookup.

Fix Accept small city differences; they come from the databases.

Local Network shows a different place than expected

Check A system proxy, VPN or leftover proxy variable can sit under AdsPower.

Fix Turn it off, retest, and keep one routing method.

Use a Proxy302 IP in AdsPower

  1. Step 1

    Buy a static residential IP from the product page (US$0.50 for 1 day, US$7.99 for 30 days).

  2. Step 2

    In My assets copy the protocol, HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD. HTTP uses port 2222, SOCKS5 uses port 3333; choose the same type in the AdsPower proxy settings.

  3. Step 3

    Run the proxy check, confirm the country, then run an IP purity check before you use the profile.

AdsPower proxy checker: FAQ

What does the AdsPower proxy checker test?

It tests whether a connection can be made through the proxy with the type and login you entered, and shows the exit IP's location data when it can.

What does "Connection test failed" mean?

The check could not connect with the current settings. AdsPower's article suggests updating the app, checking time sync and the local network, and checking the system proxy; our failure guide covers type, host, port and login.

Does a passing check mean the IP is clean?

No. It confirms the connection and shows location data. Network type, native status and score need a separate check.

What is the delay shown in the check?

The article we read does not explain a delay figure, so we give no thresholds. Judge by how pages load in the profile.

Why is the city different from where I bought the IP?

City and coordinates come from location databases and differ between them. Compare the country first.
