Is 127.233.208.178:80 a proxy? No.
127.233.208.178 is not a machine you can connect to. 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback: it always means "the machine asking". If you pointed a client at it you would be connecting to your own computer, not to a server somewhere else, so it cannot be a public proxy for anyone.

Questions about 127.233.208.178:80
Is 127.233.208.178:80 a proxy?
No — this address cannot be a proxy. 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback: it always means "the machine asking". If you pointed a client at it you would be connecting to your own computer, not to a server somewhere else, so it cannot be a public proxy for anyone.
Then why does 127.233.208.178 show up in free proxy lists?
Because most public lists republish whatever they scrape without ever opening a connection to it. Addresses like this one get copied from list to list for years. HProxy did test it, which is exactly why it sits in our database with no successful connections rather than being presented as usable.
I found 127.233.208.178 in my logs — what does that mean?
Not that someone proxied through it. Loopback addresses are meaningful only inside the machine or network that used them, so the same address appears in millions of unrelated logs. If you are tracing real traffic, the useful identifier will be elsewhere in the request.

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 [email protected] and we'll take it down (Art. 21 GDPR).
