How this one compares
It was one of the good ones, for 9 days.

What normal looks like
Every number above is measured against these two.
A percentage on a proxy list means nothing without the shape of the thing it came from. These are the two distributions the rest of this page compares against, drawn from HProxy's own checks rather than from anybody's marketing page.

How HProxy checks 103.227.224.96:50161
HProxy has checked 103.227.224.96:50161 918 times and it answered 659 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.
49 public sources published it
103.227.224.96 appears in 49 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 50161: Ephemeral port range
This is a throwaway port number, the kind a computer hands out for a few minutes and then takes back. Anything published on one tends to move or disappear when its host restarts, which is a large part of why public proxy lists rot so fast.
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 103.227.224.96:50161 and gives it up to 90 seconds to answer. Slow is not the same as unreachable, 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.
918 checks, 659 answered
That is 72% of the time, measured since June 24, 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. 103.227.224.96:50161 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 14, 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.

Live free proxies right now
View all →Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK LIMITED, and 10 in Taiwan. 103.227.224.96:50161 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
How many free proxies are on GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK LIMITED
Open proxies cluster rather than spreading evenly across the internet. Hosting providers and cloud platforms run enormous numbers of near-identical servers, so a handful of networks end up carrying a disproportionate share of every public proxy list, including ours. HProxy tracks 16 addresses on AS148996, which is 0.00% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. None of them are answering at the moment, though every one stays in the re-check rotation in case that changes.

Questions about 103.227.224.96:50161
Is 103.227.224.96:50161 a working proxy?
No, not any more. It was a working public proxy in HProxy's free pool and has since gone dark, last answering on July 3, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 103.227.224.96 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 918 checks against it and it answered 659 of them, about 72% of the time, over 9 days on our list.
What is the hostname for 103.227.224.96?
103.227.224.96 publishes no reverse DNS record. That is not unusual and it is not suspicious on its own, but it does mean the address volunteers nothing about who runs it, so the network and the check history below are all there is to go on.
Where was 103.227.224.96 hosted?
Taipei, Taipei City, Taiwan, GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK LIMITED (AS148996). It is a residential or ISP address rather than a datacenter one.
Why keep a page for an address that no longer works?
Because "was this address ever a proxy, and when" is a real question. If you are looking at this IP in a firewall log or an abuse report, the dates and the check counts here are the answer. HProxy's public proxy IP list keeps every address it has ever tracked and carries on re-testing them, so deleting this record would throw all of that away.
How many free proxies are on GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK LIMITED?
None other than 103.227.224.96:50161 at the moment. AS148996 (GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK LIMITED) has no other free proxies live in our pool right now, though that changes as we re-verify.
Are there other free proxies in Taiwan?
Yes, 10 free proxies are exiting from Taiwan in our pool right now, answering in 1478ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.

Need pools that stay clean?
Free IPs are shared and rotate out fast, so success rates swing. The paid network gives you dedicated-clean pools that hold up under load.
About this list & IP removal
Every proxy here is aggregated from publicly available sources. We do not scan or collect these IP addresses ourselves: we verify entries that are already public (live status, latency, uptime) and store nothing else about the devices behind them. The list is provided as-is, with no warranty, for lawful use only, on the basis of our legitimate interest in a free, transparent proxy directory (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Never route passwords or sensitive data through a public proxy. If an IP address is yours and you'd like it removed, email legal@hproxy.com and we'll take it down (Art. 21 GDPR).
