Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 84 other free proxies on DigitalOcean, and 179 in United Kingdom. 178.62.79.141:3129 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 2033ms it is slower than the 668ms median for United Kingdom proxies.
DigitalOcean, LLC is the 16th 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 6,105 addresses on AS14061, which is 0.64% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 16th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 85 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 178.62.79.141:3129
178.62.79.141:3129 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 3129: Squid, second instance
Port 3129 is Squid's second port. When an address is already serving Squid on 3128, this is where the second instance normally sits.
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 178.62.79.141:3129 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 and HTTPS.
166 checks, 100 answered
That is 60% of the time, measured since October 31, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
178.62.79.141:3129 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.

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).
