How this one compares

It was one of the good ones, for 30 days.

Every free proxy list quotes an uptime figure. Almost none of them tell you what a normal one looks like, so here is ours: across the 4,413 proxies answering right now, the middle of the pack answers 15.5% of the checks we send it.

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.

Continuous monitoring

How HProxy checks 149.104.68.53:1080

HProxy has checked 149.104.68.53:1080 946 times and it answered 477 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.

  1. 54 public sources published it

    149.104.68.53 appears in 54 of the public proxy sources HProxy tracks. Lists copy from each other constantly, so an address showing up in many of them says a lot about how widely it was republished and very little about whether it ever worked.

  2. Port 1080: SOCKS

    Port 1080 is the officially registered home of SOCKS, which forwards any kind of connection instead of only web traffic. An address offered on 1080 is being presented as a general purpose tunnel, not just a web proxy.

  3. 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 149.104.68.53:1080 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, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.

  4. 946 checks, 477 answered

    That is 50% of the time, measured since May 25, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.

  5. We are still watching for it to come back

    Being archived does not stop the testing. 149.104.68.53:1080 answered before, so it is exactly the kind of address that can return, and the sweep works through the whole database and reaches every address roughly once every 24 hours. Its last check was on August 17, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. The moment it answers again it is promoted straight back into the live free proxy list, automatically, with no manual step.

Where this address sits

Right now our free pool holds 4 other free proxies on Kaopu HK, and 942 in United States. 149.104.68.53:1080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.

Kaopu Cloud HK Limited is the 145th 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 262 addresses on AS138915, which is 0.04% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. That makes it the 145th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 4 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.

Is 149.104.68.53:1080 a proxy? It was: a free proxy in United States that answered 50% of 946 checks before going dark, recorded by HProxy.
149.104.68.53:1080 at a glance. Its record stays published even though the address is no longer usable.

Questions about 149.104.68.53:1080

Is 149.104.68.53:1080 a working proxy?

No, not any more. It was a working public proxy in HProxy's free pool and has since gone dark, last answering on June 24, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.

Was 149.104.68.53 ever actually a proxy?

Yes. We ran 946 checks against it and it answered 477 of them, about 50% of the time, over 30 days on our list.

What is the hostname for 149.104.68.53?

149.104.68.53 publishes no reverse DNS record. That is not unusual and it is not suspicious on its own, but it does mean the address volunteers nothing about who runs it, so the network and the check history below are all there is to go on.

Where was 149.104.68.53 hosted?

United States, Kaopu Cloud HK Limited (AS138915). It is a datacenter address, not a home connection.

Why keep a page for an address that no longer works?

Because "was this address ever a proxy, and when" is a real question. If you are looking at this IP in a firewall log or an abuse report, the dates and the check counts here are the answer. HProxy's public proxy IP list keeps every address it has ever tracked and carries on re-testing them, so deleting this record would throw all of that away.

How many free proxies are on Kaopu HK?

4 other free proxies are live on Kaopu HK (AS138915) in our pool right now, alongside 149.104.68.53:1080. 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 United States?

Yes, 942 free proxies are exiting from United States in our pool right now, answering in 1102ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.

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). Full details on the report abuse page.
