The market TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub) trades in has a wide honesty range. Some vendors publish every tier, some publish a starting rate that nobody reaches, and a few publish nothing at all. Knowing which kind you are looking at is half the decision.
What we can and cannot tell you about TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub)
The domain is github.com/TheSpeedX/PROXY-List. They are filed here as a free proxy list.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub) recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
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 TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub) presents itself
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "GitHub - TheSpeedX/PROXY-List: Get PROXY List that gets updated everyday · GitHub". Their meta description, the sentence Google shows under the link, says: "Get PROXY List that gets updated everyday. Contribute to TheSpeedX/PROXY-List development by creating an account on GitHub."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5. Support is advertised as around the clock. Their pricing page is titled "Pricing · Plans for every developer · GitHub".
None of that is verified performance. It is what the vendor chose to publish, recorded with a date so you can see whether it still says the same thing.
What the registration record shows
The domain was registered on 9 October 2007, through MarkMonitor Inc, which makes it about 18 years old. Registry data as of 9 September 2026. It is paid up until 9 October 2028.
Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.
The operator, and why it matters
We checked this one by hand on 6 September 2026. It is a repository, and we record the operator as github. Evidence recorded: 5,800 stars, pushed 2026-09-06.
This one lives on GitHub. That means you can read exactly how the list is built, which no commercial list allows, and that it can stop the day the maintainer loses interest.
What none of that tells you is how many of the addresses answer today. We publish our own measurement of that on the free side: of 589918 addresses discovered, 4023 were alive at the last check, with a median lifespan of 145 hours. Any list without a check date is describing a past that has already gone.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
A pool total is not a promise
The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.
Why 195 countries tells you nothing
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.
The day something goes wrong
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
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | TheSpeedX PROXY-List (GitHub) | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | 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 | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | On their own terms page | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Nothing in that table settles the decision on its own. It narrows the field to two or three, and then measurement finishes the job.
How to settle it yourself in ten minutes
Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.
- 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.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- 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:
- Proxy List alternatives
- Proxy-Listen.de alternatives
- Proxy Searcher alternatives
- Proxy11 alternatives
- Proxy4Free alternatives
- Proxycompass alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
