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.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on Icosnet SPA, and none in Algeria. 197.140.18.170:3128 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 Icosnet SPA
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 2 addresses on AS36891, which is 0.00% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. 1 of them is 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 197.140.18.170:3128
197.140.18.170:3128 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 3128: Squid default
Port 3128 is the default for Squid, the most widely installed proxy software in the world. Most addresses published on 3128 are Squid servers that were meant to serve one office or one network and ended up reachable by everybody.
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 197.140.18.170:3128 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, which is how we know it spoke HTTP.
1,796 checks, 906 answered
That is 50% of the time, measured since July 15, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
197.140.18.170:3128 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.

Free proxies fail. This is what that looks like.
197.140.18.170:3128 answers 50% of the time, and that is ordinary for a public proxy. Nothing here is a service anybody sells you, which is why the numbers swing and why the list turns over constantly.

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).
