How this one compares

37 attempts. Not one connection.

Being published on a proxy list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody in that chain is obliged to have tried it. We tried 37 times, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe.

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.

What a normal free proxy looks likeTwo distributions from HProxy's own checks rather than from anybody's marketing page. Tails trimmed at the 5th and 95th percentile.

How HProxy checks 115.171.18.129:1081

HProxy has opened a connection to 115.171.18.129:1081 37 times and it has never once answered. That is a measurement, not an assumption, and it is the difference between this record and the lists that republished the address without testing it.

  1. One public source published it

    115.171.18.129 reached HProxy through a single public proxy source. Being published on a list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody on that chain is obliged to have tried it.

  2. Port 1081: SOCKS, alternate

    Port 1081 is where the second SOCKS tunnel goes when 1080 on the same machine is already busy. Seeing it usually means somebody set up more than one.

  3. Every failure here was measured, not assumed

    Each check opens a real connection to 115.171.18.129:1081 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. Nothing about this record is inherited from the list that published the address. 37 times HProxy tried, and 37 times the connection did not complete inside that budget, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.

  4. 37 checks, zero connections

    Not one of those 37 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 37 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 115.171.18.129 somewhere and wants to know what it is.

  5. It is still re-tested every 24 hours

    115.171.18.129:1081 has never answered, and it is still in the rotation anyway. The sweep reaches every address in the database roughly once every 24 hours regardless of its history, because an address that was dark for months can be brought back online by whoever controls it without telling anybody. Its last check was on August 12, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. If that ever happens here, this page changes on its own.

Where this address sits

Right now our free pool holds 1 other free proxy on China Inter, and 514 in China. 115.171.18.129:1081 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 China Networks Inter-Exchange

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 54 addresses on AS4847, which is 0.01% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. 1 of them is answering right now, so if this particular address is not usable, the network is a reasonable place to look for one that is.

Questions about 115.171.18.129:1081

Is 115.171.18.129:1081 a working proxy?

Not for us. 115.171.18.129:1081 was published as a public proxy by our sources, and across 37 checks since June 4, 2026 it has never answered.

Was 115.171.18.129 ever actually a proxy?

Not while we have been watching it, which is the honest limit of what we can say. Our record opens on June 4, 2026, and across 37 checks since then it has never answered us. It was published as a working proxy, so it may well have answered somebody before we first tested it. We report what we measured, not what we assume.

What is the hostname for 115.171.18.129?

115.171.18.129 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 115.171.18.129 hosted?

Beijing, Beijing, China, China Networks Inter-Exchange (AS4847). 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 China Inter?

1 other free proxy is live on China Inter (AS4847) in our pool right now, alongside 115.171.18.129:1081. Networks that host one open proxy usually host several, which is why the whole AS is worth browsing rather than just this address.

Are there other free proxies in China?

Yes, 514 free proxies are exiting from China in our pool right now, answering in 4656ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.

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).
