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.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 7 other free proxies on Viginet C, and 62 in Venezuela. 190.97.236.128:999 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 1271ms it answers faster than the 5690ms median for Venezuela proxies (about 22% of it).
VIGINET C.A is the 216th 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 164 addresses on AS263703, which is 0.03% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. That makes it the 216th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 8 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.

Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 190.97.236.128:999
190.97.236.128:999 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 999: System port
Ports below 1024 are protected. On most systems you need administrator rights to open one at all. So whatever is answering here was set up by someone with full control of that machine, not by some ordinary program that happened to be running.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens a real connection to 190.97.236.128:999 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. 190.97.236.128:999 has completed that handshake on all 196 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 and HTTPS.
196 checks, 196 answered
That is 100% of the time, measured since August 15, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
190.97.236.128:999 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.

It speaks HTTP, HTTPS, and our checks grade it transparent. The port is 999. Point your client at 190.97.236.128:999 over http to route a request through it.
Where is 190.97.236.128 located?

How fast is 190.97.236.128:999?

Is it safe to use 190.97.236.128:999?
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.

7 other free proxies are live on Viginet C (AS263703) in our pool right now, alongside 190.97.236.128:999. 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.
190.97.236.128:999 has answered 100% 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.

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).
