Is 140.233.177.223:8080 a proxy? Yes.

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.

It has answered every single check

Each check opens a real connection to 140.233.177.223:8080 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. 140.233.177.223:8080 has completed that handshake on all 1 attempts so far, which is rare on a free public proxy and worth treating with some suspicion until the record is longer. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, which is how we know it spoke HTTP and HTTPS.

1 checks, 1 answered

That is 100% of the time, measured since September 11, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.

It is being re-tested continuously

140.233.177.223:8080 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.
