How HProxy checks 198.24.188.140:52294
HProxy has opened a connection to 198.24.188.140:52294 8 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.
One public source published it
198.24.188.140 reached HProxy through a single public proxy source. Being published on a list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody on that chain is obliged to have tried it.
Port 52294: Ephemeral port range
This port sits in the ephemeral range, the block an operating system hands out temporarily for outgoing connections. A proxy advertised on one of these is usually a short-lived forward, often a home router mapping or a NAT translation, and it commonly stops working after a reboot or a lease change. That is a large part of why so many addresses in public lists never answer.
Every failure here was measured, not assumed
Each check opens an actual connection to 198.24.188.140:52294 and waits up to 4 seconds for the other end to complete a proxy handshake. Nothing about this record is inherited from the list that published the address. 8 times HProxy tried, and 8 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.
8 checks, zero connections
Not one of those 8 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 8 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 198.24.188.140 somewhere and wants to know what it is.
It is still re-tested every 24 hours
198.24.188.140:52294 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 3, 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 38 other free proxies on Secured Servers, and 986 in United States. 198.24.188.140:52294 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
What HProxy holds on SECURED SERVERS LLC
Open proxies are not spread evenly across the internet. They cluster, because one misconfigured template, one cheap hosting reseller or one leaked image tends to produce hundreds of identical machines on the same network. HProxy tracks 1,551 addresses on AS19437, which is 0.27% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. 365 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 198.24.188.140:52294
Is 198.24.188.140:52294 a working proxy?
No. 198.24.188.140:52294 was published as a public proxy by our sources, but across 8 checks it never once resolved to a connectable proxy.
Was 198.24.188.140 ever actually a proxy?
It was listed as one, but no. 8 checks, zero successful connections. Plenty of "free proxy" lists republish addresses without ever testing them.
Where was 198.24.188.140 hosted?
United States — SECURED SERVERS LLC (AS19437). 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 Secured Servers?
38 other free proxies are live on Secured Servers (AS19437) in our pool right now, alongside 198.24.188.140:52294. 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, 986 free proxies are exiting from United States in our pool right now, answering in 863ms 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).
