How to Check Proxy Quality and Fraud Score in WADE X

When working with an antidetect browser, you often need a separate Proxy. An antidetect browser manages Browser Fingerprint and other browser environment parameters, but it does not automatically change your public IP address. Therefore, if your workflow requires a different IP, you need to connect a Proxy separately.

However, simply having a Proxy does not mean that a particular IP address is suitable for your tasks. An IP may have a poor IP Reputation, may have previously been associated with suspicious activity, may appear in risk databases, or may not match the characteristics advertised by the provider.

For this reason, it is worth checking a Proxy’s availability, geolocation, and available reputation indicators before using it.

How to Choose a Proxy

When choosing a Proxy, consider not only its type but also the characteristics of the specific IP address.

Residential Proxies use IP addresses associated with ISP networks, while Mobile Proxies use addresses associated with mobile carrier networks. However, belonging to a particular network type does not automatically guarantee a good reputation or a stable connection.

Before using a Proxy, consider several parameters:

• actual IP country and region;
• ASN and network type;
• IP Reputation;
• connection stability;
• speed and latency;
• whether the IP appears in risk databases;
• IP replacement or rotation options.

The history of a particular IP address is especially important. The same address may have been used by other users before you, and their activity may have affected its reputation.

Free public Proxies should be treated with particular caution. A single server may be used simultaneously by many unknown users, while its IP address may have an unstable or poor reputation. When using unknown Proxy infrastructure, you should also consider the risks associated with how traffic passing through that infrastructure is handled.

How to Check a Proxy in WADE X

WADE X offers two ways to get more information about a proxy before using it.

The first is the built-in “Proxy and Geo” check. It lets you test the proxy connection and view its geolocation.

The second is a check through IPQualityScore (IPQS). It provides a Risk Score and additional information about the IP address.

These checks serve different purposes and can be used together: first, confirm that the proxy works and has the expected geolocation; then, use IPQS to check the available IP reputation indicators.

“Proxy and Geo” Check

The quickest way to test a connected proxy is to use the built-in “Proxy and Geo” feature.

Find the relevant profile in the WADE X profile list. In the actions column next to it, you’ll see the “Proxy and Geo” check button, shown as a circle with two arrows inside.

Click the button to start the check.

If the check succeeds, the indicator turns green, and WADE X displays a success notification.

This lets you quickly confirm that the proxy is available and recognized by the browser, and check the geolocation associated with its IP address.

How to Configure IPQualityScore Checks in WADE X

1. Register with IPQualityScore and Get an API Key

Go to the IPQualityScore website and create an account.

After signing in, open Settings & Account Management in the left-hand menu.

Settings & Account Management section in the IPQualityScore interface.

Expand Settings & Account Management and select API Keys.

API Keys section in IPQualityScore settings.

The API Key Management page will open. Find your active User API Key and copy it.

2. Add the API Key to WADE X

Now connect IPQualityScore to WADE X.

Open the WADE X settings and find the Integrations section.

Enable IP Statistics if it is not already active.

Paste the Private API Key you copied from your IPQualityScore account into the IPQualityScore API Key field.

Once the integration is configured, WADE X can send IP addresses to IPQualityScore for analysis and display the returned results directly in the browser interface.

Checking proxy reputation in Wade Browser using the built-in IPQualityScore integration.

After connecting IPQualityScore, you can run a check directly from the browser profile list.

Find a profile with a connected Proxy and click its IP address.

In the window that opens, run IPQS check.

After the check is complete, WADE X will display the available IPQualityScore data for the selected IP.

The results include Risk Score along with additional indicators identified by the service for the IP address:

• Bot;
• Crawler;
• Proxy;
• VPN;
• TOR;
• Recent abuse;
• Mobile.

Risk Score helps estimate the level of risk IPQualityScore associates with a particular IP address. The higher the value, the more potential risk factors the service associates with that IP.

However, Risk Score should not be treated as a universal measure of Proxy quality. Different websites use their own detection and risk assessment systems and may evaluate the same IP address differently.

The WADE X interface can also show whether the IP is being used in other sessions. This helps identify situations where the same address is assigned to multiple profiles at the same time.

What the IPQualityScore Integration Adds to WADE X

The built-in integration allows you to check IP addresses directly in WADE X instead of manually opening a third-party website every time.

After adding your API Key, you can:

• run an IPQS check directly from the profile list;
• view Risk Score and additional IP characteristics;
• see whether the same IP is being used in other sessions.

This gives you additional information about a profile’s network environment and helps identify potentially undesirable IP characteristics before using a Proxy.

No IP Reputation Checker, however, can guarantee that a particular website will accept a Proxy without additional verification. The IP address is only one signal alongside Browser Fingerprint, Cookies, account history, and user behavior.

For this reason, the Proxy check in WADE X is best used as a diagnostic tool for evaluating an IP address before assigning it to a browser profile.

Which Proxy Check Should You Choose?

WADE X offers several ways to check a proxy, from the quick built-in “Proxy and Geo” check to a more detailed analysis through IPQualityScore.

Each option has its advantages. “Proxy and Geo” is useful when you need to quickly confirm that the proxy works and its geolocation is detected correctly. IPQS check provides more information about the IP address, including its Risk Score and additional reputation indicators.

You can use either tool on its own or combine them, depending on your needs. For a quick check, “Proxy and Geo” is enough. If you need a more detailed assessment of IP reputation, you can also run an IPQS check.
