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.

How HProxy checks 185.21.9.192:1080

HProxy has checked 185.21.9.192:1080 239 times and it answered 43 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.

  1. 23 public sources published it

    185.21.9.192 appears in 23 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 185.21.9.192:1080 and gives it up to 90 seconds to answer. Slow is not the same as dead, 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. 239 checks, 43 answered

    That is 18% of the time, measured since June 23, 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. 185.21.9.192:1080 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 11, 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 no other free proxies on Fornex NL, and 101 in Netherlands. 185.21.9.192:1080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.

How many free proxies are on FORNEX-NL-AS

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 15 addresses on AS16003, 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.

Questions about 185.21.9.192:1080

Is 185.21.9.192:1080 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 185.21.9.192 ever actually a proxy?

Yes. We ran 239 checks against it and it answered 43 of them, about 18% of the time, over 1 day on our list.

What is the hostname for 185.21.9.192?

Its reverse DNS record is 290215.fornex.cloud. That is what the address itself publishes about who operates it, which is often more telling than the network name: hosting providers name their machines by region and instance type, and a residential line usually carries its ISP's own pattern.

Where was 185.21.9.192 hosted?

Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands, FORNEX-NL-AS (AS16003). It is a residential or ISP address rather than a datacenter one.

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 Fornex NL?

None other than 185.21.9.192:1080 at the moment. AS16003 (Fornex NL) has no other free proxies live in our pool right now, though that changes as we re-verify.

Are there other free proxies in Netherlands?

Yes, 101 free proxies are exiting from Netherlands in our pool right now, answering in 6182ms 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.
