Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on Informsvyaz Chernozemye, and 542 in Russia. 217.25.228.102:9053 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 2021ms it answers faster than the 2261ms median for Russia proxies (about 89% of it).
How many free proxies are on Informsvyaz - Chernozemye
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 19 addresses on AS6856, which is 0.00% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. None of them are answering at the moment, though every one stays in the re-check rotation in case that changes.

Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 217.25.228.102:9053
217.25.228.102:9053 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 9053: 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 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 217.25.228.102:9053 and gives it up to 90 seconds to answer. Slow is not the same as unreachable, 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 SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.
1,628 checks, 130 answered
That is 8% of the time, measured since August 28, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
217.25.228.102:9053 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.
