Why is my IP address determined when requesting through a proxy?

Question

Python

import requests
proxies = {'http': "socks5://1.0.200.161:8080"}
r = requests.get('https://ifconfig.co/ip', proxies=proxies)
print(r.text)

Why is the received ip mine, and not a proxy?

Answer 1

Because proxiesyou have the http key in the dictionary, and you are making a request to http s .
