How this one compares

211 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 211 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.

Where this address sits

Right now our free pool holds 4 other free proxies on Zscaler, and 1,268 in Switzerland. 147.161.246.16:12590 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 1244ms it is slower than the 755ms median for Switzerland proxies.

ZSCALER-EMEA is the 15th largest source of free proxies we have ever measured.

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 6,535 addresses on AS62044, which is 0.68% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 15th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 5 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.

How HProxy checks 147.161.246.16:12590

147.161.246.16:12590 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.

  1. Port 12590: Registered port range

    This port sits in the middle range, where any ordinary program can listen without special permission. The number itself carries no reserved meaning, which tells you somebody picked it on purpose instead of accepting a default.

  2. 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 147.161.246.16:12590 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 HTTPS.

  3. 211 checks, 1 answered

    That is 0% of the time, measured since August 26, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.

  4. It is being re-tested continuously

    147.161.246.16:12590 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.

Yes. 147.161.246.16:12590 answered HProxy's automated check yesterday and is in the live free proxy pool as we publish this page. It is re-tested every few minutes, so open this page again for its current state rather than trusting a copy of it.

What kind of proxy is 147.161.246.16?

It speaks HTTPS, and our checks grade it elite. The port is 12590. Point your client at 147.161.246.16:12590 over https to route a request through it.

Where is 147.161.246.16 located?

Traffic through it exits from Zurich, Switzerland, on ZSCALER-EMEA (AS62044). That is where the destination site will think your request came from.

How fast is 147.161.246.16:12590?

It answered in 1244ms on the last check. Free public proxies are shared, so real-world speed varies with how many other people are using it at the same moment.

How reliable has 147.161.246.16:12590 been?

Across 74 days of tracking it answered 0% of our checks. The chart on this page shows every day we have recorded for it, including the days it was down.

Is it safe to use 147.161.246.16:12590?

Treat it the way you would any public proxy: it is operated by someone we have no relationship with, it is shared with strangers, and anything you send unencrypted over it can be read. Fine for a quick geo check or a scrape of public data, never for logins, payments or anything private.

How many free proxies are on Zscaler?

4 other free proxies are live on Zscaler (AS62044) in our pool right now, alongside 147.161.246.16:12590. 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 Switzerland?

Yes, 1,268 free proxies are exiting from Switzerland in our pool right now, answering in 755ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.

Upgrade to the paid network

Free proxies fail. This is what that looks like.

147.161.246.16:12590 answers 0% of the time, and that is ordinary for a public proxy. Nothing here is a service anybody sells you, which is why the numbers swing and why the list turns over constantly.

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).
