How this one compares
It was one of the good ones, for 8 days.
Every free proxy list quotes an uptime figure. Almost none of them tell you what a normal one looks like, so here is ours: across the 4,642 proxies answering right now, the middle of the pack answers 15.2% of the checks we send it.

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 222.228.194.131:8080
HProxy has checked 222.228.194.131:8080 637 times and it answered 365 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.
50 public sources published it
222.228.194.131 appears in 50 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 8080: HTTP, alternate
Port 8080 is the most common proxy port on the internet. It stands in for port 80, and unlike port 80 any program can open it without administrator rights. That single detail is why so much ends up here, the deliberate and the accidental alike.
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 222.228.194.131:8080 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, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.
637 checks, 365 answered
That is 57% of the time, measured since June 30, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
We are still watching for it to come back
Being archived does not stop the testing. 222.228.194.131:8080 answered before, so it is exactly the kind of address that can return, and the sweep works through the whole database and reaches every address roughly once every 24 hours. Its last check was on August 19, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. The moment it answers again it is promoted straight back into the live free proxy list, automatically, with no manual step.

Live free proxies right now
View all →Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on ARTERIA Networks Corporation, and 540 in Japan. 222.228.194.131:8080 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 ARTERIA Networks Corporation
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 13 addresses on AS2519, 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.

Questions about 222.228.194.131:8080
Is 222.228.194.131:8080 a working proxy?
No, not any more. It was a working public proxy in HProxy's free pool and has since gone dark, last answering on July 8, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 222.228.194.131 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 637 checks against it and it answered 365 of them, about 57% of the time, over 8 days on our list.
What is the hostname for 222.228.194.131?
Its reverse DNS record is 222-228-194-131.saitama.fdn.vectant.ne.jp. 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 222.228.194.131 hosted?
Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan, ARTERIA Networks Corporation (AS2519). 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 ARTERIA Networks Corporation?
None other than 222.228.194.131:8080 at the moment. AS2519 (ARTERIA Networks Corporation) has no other free proxies live in our pool right now, though that changes as we re-verify.
Are there other free proxies in Japan?
Yes, 540 free proxies are exiting from Japan in our pool right now, answering in 1251ms 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).
