How to See Google Results From Another Country
See Google results from another country or city: why they differ, how gl, hl and UULE work, when a VPN is enough and when a local proxy is the better tool.
Read article →How it works
- Paste your proxies, one per line:
ip:port,ip:port:user:pass,user:pass@ip:portor a URL such assocks5://user:pass@host:1080. - Pick the protocol, or leave it on auto-detect: each proxy is tried over HTTP first and, if it does not answer, over SOCKS5.
- All proxies are tested at the same time. Each one fetches a small echo page that reports the address and headers it received, and makes one HTTPS request to Google’s
generate_204address. - Exit addresses are looked up for country, city and type, and the results come back in a single table with a copyable list of the proxies that work.
What it checks
- Status — working or dead, with the reason: timeout, refused connection, wrong password (407) or wrong protocol.
- Speed — the full round trip through the proxy in milliseconds.
- Exit IP and location — the address and country a website will see.
- IP type — datacenter, residential or ISP, mobile, or a known proxy address.
- Anonymity — elite (no trace of a proxy), anonymous (proxy headers but no real IP) or transparent (your real IP is forwarded).
- Google access — whether Google answers normally or blocks the address.
Why it matters
A proxy that is slow, transparent or already blocked by Google will quietly spoil whatever you use it for: rank checks return CAPTCHAs, a geo-test shows the wrong country, or the proxy forwards the very address you wanted to hide. Free public lists are the worst case, as most entries die within hours and many are transparent. Paid proxies fail too, and most providers only replace or refund them within a short window after purchase, so testing on day one saves money.
How to act on the results
- Dead with 407 — the username or password is wrong, or the provider expects your own IP to be whitelisted instead.
- Dead with a handshake error — switch the protocol (HTTP and SOCKS5 ports are often different).
- Transparent — do not use it for privacy or location tests; it reveals the original address.
- Google blocked — fine for other sites, but expect CAPTCHAs on searches. For SERP checks, residential or ISP addresses usually fare better than datacenter ones.
- Need another format — send the working list to the Proxy Format Converter to turn it into curl, Python or Playwright settings.
Frequently asked questions
Are my proxy passwords saved?
No. Credentials are used only for the requests in this test. They are not written to our logs, which record only how many lines you submitted, and the results table masks every password.
Why is a proxy slow here but fast for me?
The speed shown is measured from our server, so it includes the distance between our server and the proxy. A proxy close to you can be quicker from your machine. Compare proxies with each other in one run rather than reading the number as absolute.
Which addresses can I not test?
For safety the checker refuses private and reserved addresses, our own server, and ports used by non-proxy services such as SSH, mail or databases. It also limits each run to 20 proxies and a few runs every ten minutes. To see the address your own connection shows, use What Is My IP?.
