Is it possible that proxy leaks the real ip?
I know some vpns have leakage although they have kill switch. I need to use proxy from unsupported geolocations. So, it is important that the proxy completely hides the real ip.
For example, in case a proxy disconnects or any other scenario, will it prevent revealing the real ip?

Depending on how the proxy is set up. There's also your own setup to consider. Additionally, your IP is only one vector of detection so keep that in mind. Generally, there's a lot that goes into it and a good place to check if you're leaking info from the basics is on sites like https://pixelscan.net/ and such. Hope that helps.

Yes, those websites initially may show no leak, but who knows in the long run when we are working online.
I know other leakages like dns etc. assuming I use antidetect browser,
I want to know can a proxy leaks the ip or not possible?
For example, I noticed that if the proxy fails, antidetect browser doesn't connect to internet, I'm not sure about technical stuff though.

One thing I can suggest is to check also https://browserleaks.com/webrtc

If You see Your real IP on this test, then DISABLE WebRTC in Your browser, then check again

I know these websites initially show no leak. What I'm worry about, is in the middle of the work. Like when a proxy fails, disconnects or any possible scenarios.
I also want to know is vpn or proxy better for this use case?

it depends on proxy type, if you're on HTTP you must use Elite proxies, thats why its highly recommended to use SOCKSv5 you ip cannot be traced, it even hides your DNS queries

but the best solution would be TOR proxies, no one would trace you from there, but its slow

Well I am taking about residential and mobile proxies. Not sure what you mean by Elite, TOR. If they are providers or what.

In most cases when proxy fail to connect/authenticate or something, then there is an error when trying to connect to server/browse a website and nothing bad happeens.
it depends more on the browser/software you're using the proxy in, rather than the proxy itself

Thank you I needed reassurance.
Will Try to use antidetect but for mobile that's out of options.

I think there should be a list of those websites pinned in BHW to check quality of proxies.

you may use resvpn network.

they have client software with killswitch option. when you disconnect from VPN or you switch between residential vpns - your real ip wont leak. you will have no internet access untill you conencted to vpn proxy.
 
How to use a proxy for mobile apps of fintechs with this use case? Or is it not recommended ?

It's hard to say exactly when and where the issue may come from unless you set your tools to create logs with timestamps which you can defer to after an issue was detected. Ideally and for most parts, proxies don't suddenly just fail. The reliable ones will at least block your connection if something does go wrong rather than letting the connection go while not protecting you as intended. At least, I hadn't experienced anything like that from the mobile proxies I use, thank goodness.
 
If your proxy has a WebRTC leak, the website can detect your real IP address. You should check if your proxy is leaking WebRTC. If it is, there are settings in anti-detect browsers that can help fix this issue:
  • Altered: When your IP is set to be visible, the website will use the IP address of the proxy you’ve assigned to the profile. This is best for static proxies.
  • Disable: This automatically scrambles the IP, so the website won’t be able to detect it. The website will think there was an error in transmitting the IP, not that the user intentionally disabled WebRTC. This is ideal for rotating proxies.
  • Real: The website will use your device’s original IP address.

UH, actually this has been happening. When I test webrtc in browserleak, it shows no leak, but if I grant audio and video permission it shows leak.
However, the leak is not my ip. It shows the router admin ip which we use to configure the router itself I don't know should I be worried about it?
Thank you. This was a useful tip.
And for my usecase ( acessing banking sites from unsupported geolocation) is static proxy better or rotating or no difference?

Why do you think vpn protects better against leak?
I have to look real home user too. but leak is the most important part.
 
Its possible if youre not using it right or if the proxy provider isnt that great.
