Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 2,259 other free proxies on Amazon, and 1,578 in Canada. 16.174.124.173:8080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 765ms it answers faster than the 824ms median for Canada proxies (about 93% of it).
Amazon.com, Inc. is the 2nd 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 32,456 addresses on AS16509, which is 4.9% of every address in the database and a substantial share of everything HProxy tracks. That makes it the 2nd largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 2,260 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 16.174.124.173:8080
16.174.124.173:8080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
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.
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 16.174.124.173:8080 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. 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 SOCKS5.
58 checks, 57 answered
That is 98% of the time, measured since August 26, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
16.174.124.173:8080 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.

How fast is 16.174.124.173:8080?

Is it safe to use 16.174.124.173:8080?
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.

2,259 other free proxies are live on Amazon (AS16509) in our pool right now, alongside 16.174.124.173:8080. Networks that host one open proxy usually host several, which is why the whole AS is worth browsing rather than just this address.

Upgrade to the paid network
This one is good, and it will still disappear.
16.174.124.173:8080 has answered 98% of our checks, which puts it well above most of what we track. It is still a public endpoint with nobody standing behind it: nobody agreed to serve you, no capacity is set aside for you, and there is no warning on the day it stops. Fine for a test, a bad foundation for anything that has to work tomorrow.

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).
