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.

How many free proxies are on PJSC MegaFon
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 26 addresses on AS31133, which is 0.00% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. None of them are answering at the moment, though every one stays in the re-check rotation in case that changes.

Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 178.178.106.241:8080
178.178.106.241:8080 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 178.178.106.241:8080 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 HTTP.
3,757 checks, 921 answered
That is 25% of the time, measured since June 13, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
178.178.106.241:8080 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.

Free proxies fail. This is what that looks like.

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).
