How this one compares
10 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 10 times, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe.

Each one opens a socket and waits up to 90 seconds. Slow and dead look identical if you stop listening early.

Moved to the permanent record
It left the live pool here. Nothing is deleted: the address keeps this page and stays in the re-check rotation.
August 11, 2026
Most recent re-test
HProxy has opened 10 real connections to this endpoint in total. The sweep reaches every address in the database roughly once every 24 hours.
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 195.26.254.173:8915
HProxy has opened a connection to 195.26.254.173:8915 10 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.
36 public sources published it
195.26.254.173 appears in 36 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 8915: Registered port range
This port sits in the middle range, where any ordinary program can listen without special permission. The number itself carries no reserved meaning, which tells you somebody picked it on purpose instead of accepting a default.
Every failure here was measured, not assumed
Each check opens a real connection to 195.26.254.173:8915 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. 10 times HProxy tried, and 10 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.
10 checks, zero connections
Not one of those 10 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 10 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 195.26.254.173 somewhere and wants to know what it is.
It is still re-tested every 24 hours
195.26.254.173:8915 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 11, 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 2 other free proxies on Contabo, and 957 in United States. 195.26.254.173:8915 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
Contabo Inc. is the 178th 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 207 addresses on AS40021, which is 0.04% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. That makes it the 178th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 2 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.

Questions about 195.26.254.173:8915
Is 195.26.254.173:8915 a working proxy?
Not for us. 195.26.254.173:8915 was published as a public proxy by our sources, and across 10 checks since August 4, 2026 it has never answered.
Was 195.26.254.173 ever actually a proxy?
Not while we have been watching it, which is the honest limit of what we can say. Our record opens on August 4, 2026, and across 10 checks since then it has never answered us. 36 separate lists published it as a working proxy, so it may well have answered somebody before we first tested it. We report what we measured, not what we assume.
What is the hostname for 195.26.254.173?
Its reverse DNS record is vmi3384223.contaboserver.net. 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 195.26.254.173 hosted?
United States, Contabo Inc. (AS40021). 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 Contabo?
2 other free proxies are live on Contabo (AS40021) in our pool right now, alongside 195.26.254.173:8915. Networks that host one open proxy usually host several, which is why the whole AS is worth browsing rather than just this address.
Are there other free proxies in United States?
Yes, 957 free proxies are exiting from United States in our pool right now, answering in 2514ms 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).
