Openproxylist sits in a market where the advertised number and the number you pay are frequently different, because tiers, minimums and expiry all sit between them. Untangling that is most of the work here.
The record we hold
The domain is openproxylist.com.
Openproxylist is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
How Openproxylist presents itself
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Open Proxy List , Free VPN and Proxy". In the description they hand to search engines: "Access a world of free OpenVPN, HTTP, SOCKS proxy, and V2Ray servers. Enjoy fast, secure, and unrestricted internet with no hidden fees or sign-up requirements. Connect easily and browse freely from anywhere in the world."
The rest of what the page puts in writing:
The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
Nothing there has been tested. It is a record of what the page said on the day, which is the honest limit of what a page like this can offer without a measurement.
Longevity, on the public record
The domain was registered on 7 April 2021, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 5 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 9 September 2026. Their registration is booked through 7 April 2027.
Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.
The activity record
Our crawl of their site found 9,605 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from February 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 9,605 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
The country total, and the country you use
Almost every provider claims almost every country. What differs is depth, and depth decides whether a single city or a single carrier is usable. No published figure tells you that.
Match the units before anything else
Residential is normally billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, mobile per day or per port. Setting one against another produces a number that means nothing. Convert both sides into the unit your own workload consumes.
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
What separates them, in a table
The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:
| Question to ask | Openproxylist | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | On their own terms page | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Read their current terms | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Every unfilled cell above is a question to put to them directly, in writing, before money changes hands. Vendors answer those questions readily; comparison sites guess at them.
The ten minute version of this decision
For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
- Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Ibvpn alternatives
- Iced Out Proxies alternatives
- Illusory alternatives
- Impexproxy alternatives
- Incogniton alternatives
- Infatica alternatives
Our side of it
HProxy is pay as you go from $0.44 per GB on residential, with ISP, mobile and datacenter under one balance and no commitment attached to any of them. Run the test. If we lose on your target, we lose, and you have your answer.
