What we checked, and how

We asked coolproxies.com ourselves on September 16, 2026, from a datacenter connection in Germany, following redirects by hand so the chain is on the record. What came back: Portal Home - Coolproxies (HTTP 200). We did not read the site from a home connection and we did not save its pages; the result above is the whole of what we took.

What to use instead

A free list is a list of other people's machines, and it behaves like one: the addresses that answer at breakfast are gone by lunch, the country label is often wrong, and anything you send through one is readable by whoever runs the exit. That is true of every name on this page, alive or gone.

If you are testing whether a target blocks proxies at all, a free list is fine and costs nothing. If the job has to finish, has to come from a country you chose, or carries a login, it needs addresses somebody is accountable for. What we sell starts at $0.44 per GB, pay as you go, with no plan to reach first.

Our own maintained lists are here, and the wider picture of which of these sites still work is in our census of free proxy sites.

The limits of this record

  • We checked once, on one day, from one place.
  • We do not know who runs it, where the addresses come from, or whether anyone tests them before publishing. Nobody in this corner of the market publishes that.

This page is due for a re-check by March 16, 2027, or sooner if the status above changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is CoolProxies still working?

coolproxies.com was serving normally on September 16, 2026, under the title "Portal Home - Coolproxies". The Internet Archive has been capturing it since February 4, 2009.

Are free proxy lists safe to use?

Treat every address on one as a machine you do not control. Whoever runs the exit can read unencrypted traffic and see every destination you request, so nothing carrying a login, a payment or personal data belongs on a free proxy. For a throwaway check against a public page, the risk is your time.

Why do free proxy addresses stop working so fast?

Because most of them were never meant to be public. A free list is largely misconfigured servers and short-lived hosts, so the same address that answers in the morning is gone by the afternoon. Any list, however well maintained, is a snapshot of a population that turns over constantly.

Get proxies that are alive right now

Our free proxy list re-checks every exit every few minutes across 100+ countries, with a live last-checked time, so you copy IPs that worked moments ago, not a stale text dump. When the location has to survive a real check, the paid network holds up.
