Free proxy list: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.

A public list of proxy servers, each shown as an IP address and a port. Anyone can route traffic through them at no cost. This one is live. HProxy runs the pool and re-checks every entry, so the table shows what answered at its last check.

Continuously. On September 5, 2026, all 72,230 proxies in rotation had been checked within 24 hours. 14,762 of them had been checked within the previous five minutes. The Checked column shows the age of each entry, so no interval has to be trusted.

Half of those that work at all are gone within about 10 days. That is the median for proxies our engine set aside by September 28, 2026. It counts only addresses with fewer than 20 such proxies, from first sighting until they stopped. It leaves out Amazon's networks and one June evening when our checker failed. 4.9 percent stopped within their first hour, and 30.9 percent lasted over a month. Most never work at all: they never answered a single check.

Because most published entries answer a connection without carrying traffic, and a port check cannot tell the difference. On September 5, 2026, HProxy tested one list that advertised 2,326 working proxies. 1,770 of its 2,211 entries accepted a TCP connection. 306 relayed a real request. That is one list on one day. It is the reason to ask any list what its check consists of.

No. Of 9,462 live entries carrying fraud data on September 5, 2026, none were residential. 82.9 percent sat on datacenter address space, and 89.3 percent were flagged for recent abuse. That is why an entry that connects perfectly can still be blocked.

HTTP and HTTPS proxies carry web traffic, and HTTPS adds support for encrypted sites. That covers most of the modern web. SOCKS proxies work lower down and carry any TCP traffic, so they suit tools outside the browser. SOCKS5 is the newer version and adds authentication, UDP support and remote name resolution.

Here, with no signup and no key. Copy any row, or download the filtered set as a text file. The free API at /docs/free-proxy-list serves the same list. A copy is also published on GitHub, at hproxy-com/free-proxy-list. The table puts the highest uptime first. Start at the top, and test each one before you rely on it.

Nobody is paid to keep them fast, and the same addresses sit on many lists at once. On September 5, 2026, the average live proxy appeared on 17.86 of our 116 sources. The median one answered in 1,050 ms, and 28.1 percent took longer than three seconds. Latency also depends on where you are, and ours was measured from one datacenter. Sort the table by Speed to see the fastest first. A short timeout in your tool stops one slow proxy from stalling the rest.

For a small test, yes, and for a job that has to finish, rarely. On September 5, 2026, the median live proxy failed more than half of its own checks. Pull a batch, test each one, and drop any that time out or fail. Expect to refill the batch often, and test each new one first. Keep within the terms of each site, and never send a login through a free proxy.

Yes. Every proxy on this page is free to copy and use, with no signup and no key. They are free in price but shared and unstable, so expect some to be slow or already offline.

Copy the IP address, port and protocol. Enter them in your browser proxy settings, or as the proxy option in your scraper. The usual form is http://IP:PORT or socks5://IP:PORT. Test it against a page that echoes your address before relying on it. Rotate through several, because free proxies drop often.

Very few. Of 763,409 proxies the pool has ever seen, 401 met a strict bar on September 5, 2026. That bar is ten checks at 90 percent success. The uptime filter in the console is looser, because it asks for no minimum check count. Set it to 90 percent, or pass min_uptime_pct=90 to the free API.

Treat them as public. Anyone can run one, and whoever runs it can read traffic that is not encrypted. Never send passwords or payment details through one. SOCKS5 defines no encryption of its own, and RFC 1928 leaves security to the method negotiated. A transparent proxy can also pass your original address on, in the header RFC 7239 defines.

Yes. Use the download button for the filtered set as plain text, or copy single addresses from the table. For automation, the free proxy list API at /docs/free-proxy-list returns the whole live list in one call. It serves txt, JSON or CSV, with the same filters and no key. There is a free proxy checker API at /docs/free/proxy-checker for testing proxies of your own.

Some do, for a while. On September 5, 2026, 9,451 of the 72,230 proxies in our rotation were alive. The median live proxy succeeded on 45.5 percent of its own checks. So take several, test each one, and expect to replace them.

No. Every proxy on this list is an open proxy, so anyone can use it without a login. Each one passed our checker with no credentials, so leave those fields empty. An HTTP proxy that wants a login answers with status 407, as RFC 9110 defines it. SOCKS5 has its own login step, set out in RFC 1929. Only the owner of such a proxy can give you that login.

Elite and anonymous ones do, and transparent ones do not. A transparent proxy passes your address on, in a header such as Forwarded from RFC 7239. An anonymous proxy hides it, but a header such as Via shows a proxy is in use. An elite proxy adds neither. Each grade comes from our last check, and our proxy anonymity checker at /proxy-anonymity-checker tests one again. A site can still use scripts in your browser to look for your real address.

For work that has to keep running, HProxy sells residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies. Those addresses are not already flagged, and they add city-level targeting and sticky sessions. You pay by the gigabyte, at $0.23/GB from 10,000 GB+, or $0.50/GB for a single GB. There is no subscription, so this list stays useful for experiments.
