Why speedtest.net know my IP address even though I had used a proxy?

Question

I am using my own squid proxy server,when I check my ip address on whatismyip.com, it show the ip address of my proxy server.

But, when I check on speedtest.net, I found that they can track my client IP.

Is there any ways to prevent my real IP being detected ???

Are you using a local proxy, or remote proxy? speedtest will only know the IP that's making the connection. — Robert Seaman, Oct 22 '17 at 15:09

Your IP is provided by your ISP (internet service provider) and speedtest.net picks up your gateway/router.

Thus "trying" to hide behind a proxy would not have any effect.
