How do you test if you're really anonymous behind proxies?

Let's say you're using a few proxies and you want to test if you're really anonymous. How do you do that?

Is there a website or an application that can show you're really hidden and you're not bleeding DNS leaks, Flash cookies or FORWARDED HTTP headers?

Also, do you guys mostly use only 1 proxy or 2-3 chained proxies? Or a VPN + proxy?

Cheers,

I use whatismyip to find out what my ip address is, I usually check a few other methods
 
If you want to know a little more information on your proxy try out this site here.

h**p://checker.samair.ru/

It will tell you if you are on a truly anonymous proxy and if the proxy is hiding the fact that it is a proxy. Not just the IP address and location.
 
Any apps that can test a LIST of proxies? Would be really nice to check say 100 proxies at a time.

Obviously works perfectly, nice one thanks...

IP detected: 64.1xx.2xx.122 (one of my own proxies loaded up in firefox)
Country: Click here to find out what country your proxy belongs to
Resume: You are using high-anonymous (elite) proxy (if you are using proxy).

********

Anonymity types
Anonymous - HTTP Proxy server does not send HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variable to host, this improves privacy since your IP address can not be logged.
High-anonymous (elite proxy) - HTTP Servers of this type do not send HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION variables. Host doesn't even know you are using proxy server an of course it doesn't know your IP address.

A good start would be to test proxy for anonymity before using.

1) Good link on understanding proxy anonymity and how such is tested. In a nutshell one must analyze the headers that proxies may leak by using a trusted destination server.

2) Use one or many proxy testers before you use a proxy. If you use more than one, then you can have more confidence.
Many proxy aggregation sites offer such a service for free.

I use VPN most of time, its fast and more effective
