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 34.97.68.165:1080
HProxy has checked 34.97.68.165:1080 407 times and it answered 5 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.
40 public sources published it
34.97.68.165 appears in 40 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 1080: SOCKS
Port 1080 is the officially registered home of SOCKS, which forwards any kind of connection instead of only web traffic. An address offered on 1080 is being presented as a general purpose tunnel, not just a web proxy.
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 34.97.68.165:1080 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.
407 checks, 5 answered
That is 1% of the time, measured since August 6, 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. 34.97.68.165:1080 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 12 hours. Its last check was on August 28, 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.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 18 other free proxies on Google, and 2,493 in Japan. 34.97.68.165:1080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
Google LLC is the 51st largest source of free proxies we have ever measured.
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 1,104 addresses on AS396982, which is 0.16% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 51st largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 18 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 34.97.68.165:1080
Is 34.97.68.165:1080 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 August 11, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 34.97.68.165 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 407 checks against it and it answered 5 of them, about 1% of the time, over 5 days on our list.
What is the hostname for 34.97.68.165?
Its reverse DNS record is 165.68.97.34.bc.googleusercontent.com. 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 34.97.68.165 hosted?
Osaka, Osaka, Japan, Google LLC (AS396982). It is a datacenter address, not a home connection.
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 Google?
18 other free proxies are live on Google (AS396982) in our pool right now, alongside 34.97.68.165:1080. 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 Japan?
Yes, 2,493 free proxies are exiting from Japan in our pool right now, answering in 878ms at the median. If this address is not usable, that list is the place to look for a working one.

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).
