How HProxy checks 2.248.72.25:1080
2.248.72.25:1080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering. Here is exactly what HProxy does to it, and how often.
Port 1080: SOCKS
Port 1080 is the port IANA registered for SOCKS, the protocol that forwards raw connections rather than only web requests. An address advertised on 1080 is being offered as a general-purpose tunnel, not just a web proxy.
Every failure here was measured, not assumed
Each check opens an actual connection to 2.248.72.25:1080 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. 2 times HProxy tried, and 2 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, which is how we know it spoke HTTP.
2 checks, zero connections
Not one of those 2 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 2 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 2.248.72.25 somewhere and wants to know what it is.
It is being re-tested continuously
2.248.72.25:1080 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.

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).
