How HProxy checks 138.68.247.51:1080
138.68.247.51:1080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 1080: SOCKS
Port 1080 is the port IANA registered for SOCKS, the protocol that forwards raw connections rather than only web requests. An address advertised on 1080 is being offered as a general-purpose tunnel, not just a web proxy.
Every check is a real connection
HProxy does not read this address off somebody else's list and pass it on. Each check opens an actual connection to 138.68.247.51:1080 and waits up to 4 seconds for the other end to complete a proxy handshake. 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, which is how we know it spoke HTTP.
2,754 checks, 1,456 answered
That is 53% of the time, measured since June 23, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
138.68.247.51:1080 is in the live rotation, so it is re-tested continuously rather than on a daily cycle. If it stops answering it is marked down immediately, and if it stays down for 3 days it moves into the public proxy database with its full record intact. Nothing is deleted at any point.

Right now our free pool holds 120 other free proxies on DigitalOcean, and 1,035 in United States. 138.68.247.51:1080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
What HProxy holds on DigitalOcean, LLC
Open proxies are not spread evenly across the internet. They cluster, because one misconfigured template, one cheap hosting reseller or one leaked image tends to produce hundreds of identical machines on the same network. HProxy tracks 4,646 addresses on AS14061, which is 0.79% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. 178 of them are answering right now, so if this particular address is not usable, the network is a reasonable place to look for one that is.

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).
