Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 143.246.222.184:8118
143.246.222.184:8118 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 8118: Privoxy default
Port 8118 is the default for Privoxy, a filtering proxy most often paired with Tor. Finding it suggests somebody built a privacy setup on purpose, rather than leaving a door open by accident.
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 143.246.222.184:8118 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, which is how we know it spoke HTTP and HTTPS.
156 checks, 8 answered
That is 5% of the time, measured since October 29, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
143.246.222.184:8118 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.

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).
