Is 103.153.149.138:8080 a proxy? Yes, it was.

22 public sources published it

103.153.149.138 appears in 22 of the public proxy sources HProxy tracks. Lists copy from each other constantly, so an address showing up in many of them says a lot about how widely it was republished and very little about whether it ever worked.

Port 8080: HTTP, alternate

Port 8080 is the most common proxy port on the internet. It stands in for port 80, and unlike port 80 any program can open it without administrator rights. That single detail is why so much ends up here, the deliberate and the accidental alike.

Every check is a real connection

HProxy does not read this address off somebody else's list and pass it on. Each check opens a real connection to 103.153.149.138:8080 and gives it up to 90 seconds to answer. Slow is not the same as dead, and plenty of working proxies take half a minute to reply. Anything that does not answer in that budget counts as a failure and is recorded as one, which is why the percentage on this page moves rather than sitting at a marketing number. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.

1,172 checks, 354 answered

That is 30% of the time, measured since May 13, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.

We are still watching for it to come back

Being archived does not stop the testing. 103.153.149.138:8080 answered before, so it is exactly the kind of address that can return, and the sweep works through the whole database and reaches every address roughly once every 24 hours. Its last check was on August 8, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. The moment it answers again it is promoted straight back into the live free proxy list, automatically, with no manual step.
