How to Check a Static IP After Buying: 24-Hour Checklist
Seven checks to run on a new static IP on the first day, what a pass looks like, and which results are worth sending to support.
Why check on the first day
A lease has a clock. Checking while the lease is new gives you time to compare results, ask for help and decide about renewal before most of the term has passed.
There is no free trial at Proxy302, so the way to test cheaply is the smallest lease: one IP for one day at US$0.50. If you plan to buy many IPs, buy one first and run this list; an order can take up to 100 IPs, and they are bought one by one.
The first-day checklist
| Item | How to check | What a pass looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 1. It connects | Request ipinfo.io/json through the proxy with the protocol and port you bought (HTTP 2222, SOCKS5 3333). | A JSON answer comes back with no proxy error. |
| 2. Exit IP is the one you bought | Compare the "ip" in the answer with the IP in My assets. | Same address. |
| 3. It stays the same | Repeat the request a few times over several hours. | The address does not change; static leases do not rotate. |
| 4. Country is right | Read the country in the answer, then in a second database. | The country matches the one you ordered in both. |
| 5. ASN owner and type | Read the organization on the ASN line; in other tools read hosting or usage_type. | A network type you expected; see the type guide for what is normal. |
| 6. Reputation lookups | Look the IP up in a score tool such as Scamalytics and a flags tool such as IPinfo. | Results you can live with for your use; each tool has its own scale. |
| 7. Your real target | Open the site you bought the IP for and go as far as a normal visitor would. | The site loads and behaves normally; this outranks every checker. |
Source: IPinfo and IP2Location documentation and the Scamalytics product page (read on 11 November 2026) for the fields; ports from the Proxy302 product facts. "A pass" is our suggested criterion, not an industry standard.
Checks 1 to 3 in a terminal (HTTP)
curl -x "http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://ipinfo.io/json
curl -x "http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://ipinfo.io/jsonExample only: replace LOGIN, PASSWORD, HOST and PORT with the values from My assets. The second request should print the same ip.
The same check for a SOCKS5 IP
curl --proxy "socks5h://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://ipinfo.io/json
curl --proxy "socks5h://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://ipinfo.io/jsonExample only: SOCKS5 IPs use port 3333; socks5h sends the name lookup through the proxy.
Do it in this order
Step 1: Open My assets and copy the details
Copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD for this IP and note whether it is HTTP or SOCKS5.
Step 2: Run checks 1 to 3
Use the commands above or your browser. Write down the time and the IP each time.
Step 3: Run checks 4 and 5
Compare country and ASN owner in two databases. Databases differ on city, so judge the country first.
Step 4: Run check 6 and read it correctly
Note each score against that tool's own bands, not another tool's.
Step 5: Run check 7 on the real site
Do this last and keep notes. Repeat it once more later in the day.
Step 6: Decide
Keep the IP, renew it, or write to Support with the evidence.
When to ask for a swap
Send Support a ticket with the order number, the IP and your notes when the IP does not connect, the exit country is not the one you ordered, or the address changes during the lease. A failed IP is fixed by reissuing it, not by a refund.
If the only problem is that one checker labels the IP as hosting or gives a high score, first compare the other tools and the real site; that is a disagreement to document, and whether it counts as a fault is for Support to decide. We do not promise a replacement in that case.
If a check fails
Check 3: the address changes
Check Repeat the request twice and note both IPs and times.
Fix Send both to Support; a leased static IP should not rotate.
Check 4: country is not the one you ordered
Check Confirm in a second database and that you are testing through the proxy.
Fix Open a ticket with screenshots.
Check 7: the target site refuses it
Check Match the browser time zone and language to the IP country and test a second site.
Fix Compare with the checker results before deciding.
On Proxy302
Static ISP IPs are leased for 1, 3, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days at the same price in every country: US$0.50 for 1 day and US$7.99 for 30 days. Auto-renew is optional and set per IP; a new purchase has it on by default, and you can switch it off on the purchase page or in My assets.
Choose HTTP or SOCKS5 when you buy; each IP is issued with that one protocol. The order page shows what is available.
After buying a static IP: FAQ
What should I test first after buying a static IP?
Test that it connects, that the exit IP is the one you bought and that it stays the same, then check country, ASN and your target site.
How do I check a residential proxy is working?
Request ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and read ip, country and org; repeat it a few times.
Is there a free trial?
No. The smallest purchase is one IP for one day at US$0.50.
Can I swap the IP if I am not happy?
Send Support the order number and your results. A failed IP is reissued; a disagreement between checkers is for Support to judge, and no replacement is promised.
Does a high fraud score mean the IP is bad?
Not by itself. Each score has its own scale and data; read it against that tool's bands and test the real site.
