Is 190.97.236.153:999 a proxy? It was listed.
190.97.236.153:999 was listed as a public proxy in 6 of our sources, but across 35 checks it never once resolved to a connectable proxy. We keep re-testing it around the clock, and it has never come online for us.
never connectable
VenezuelaHow this one compares
35 attempts. Not one connection.
Being published on a proxy list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody in that chain is obliged to have tried it. We tried 35 times, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe.
0%
of 35 checks answered
Pool median 15.9%. 190.97.236.153:999 sits below it, which is ordinary for a public proxy.
35
real connection attempts
Each one opens a socket and waits up to 90 seconds. Slow and dead look identical if you stop listening early.
32
days in our records, never once answering
It is not in the lifespan figures at all: those cover the 192,073 endpoints that worked at least once before they stopped.
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 190.97.236.153:999
HProxy has opened a connection to 190.97.236.153:999 35 times and it has never once answered. That is a measurement, not an assumption, and it is the difference between this record and the lists that republished the address without testing it.
6 public sources published it
190.97.236.153 appears in 6 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.
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.
Every failure here was measured, not assumed
Each check opens a real connection to 190.97.236.153:999 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. Nothing about this record is inherited from the list that published the address. 35 times HProxy tried, and 35 times the connection did not complete inside that budget, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.
35 checks, zero connections
Not one of those 35 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 35 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 190.97.236.153 somewhere and wants to know what it is.
It is still re-tested every 24 hours
190.97.236.153:999 has never answered, and it is still in the rotation anyway. The sweep reaches every address in the database roughly once every 24 hours regardless of its history, because an address that was dark for months can be brought back online by whoever controls it without telling anybody. Its last check was on August 9, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. If that ever happens here, this page changes on its own.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on Viginet C, and 79 in Venezuela. 190.97.236.153:999 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
VIGINET C.A is the 218th 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 157 addresses on AS263703, which is 0.03% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. That makes it the 218th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. None of them are answering at the moment, though every one stays in the re-check rotation in case that changes.

Questions about 190.97.236.153:999
Is 190.97.236.153:999 a working proxy?
No. 190.97.236.153:999 was published as a public proxy by our sources, but across 35 checks it never once resolved to a connectable proxy.
Was 190.97.236.153 ever actually a proxy?
It was listed as one, but no. 35 checks, zero successful connections. Plenty of "free proxy" lists republish addresses without ever testing them.
Where was 190.97.236.153 hosted?
Venezuela, VIGINET C.A (AS263703). 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 Viginet C?
None other than 190.97.236.153:999 at the moment. AS263703 (Viginet C) has no other free proxies live in our pool right now, though that changes as we re-verify.
Are there other free proxies in Venezuela?
Yes, 79 free proxies are exiting from Venezuela in our pool right now, answering in 6253ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.
Upgrade to the paid network
Need pools that stay clean?
Free IPs are shared and rotate out fast, so success rates swing. The paid network gives you dedicated-clean pools that hold up under load.
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).
