How HProxy checks 156.238.226.176:8080
156.238.226.176:8080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering. Here is exactly what HProxy does to it, and how often.
Port 8080: HTTP, alternate
Port 8080 is the most common proxy port on the public internet. It is the conventional unprivileged stand-in for port 80, which means a program can open it without administrator rights, and that is exactly why so many proxies, both deliberate and accidental, end up here.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens an actual connection to 156.238.226.176:8080 and waits up to 4 seconds for the other end to complete a proxy handshake. 156.238.226.176:8080 has completed that handshake on all 3,095 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.
3,095 checks, 3,095 answered
That is 100% 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
156.238.226.176:8080 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.

What HProxy holds on FASTNET DATA INC
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 94 addresses on AS8796, which is 0.02% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. 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.

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).
