Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds no other free proxies on Tier.Net Technologies LLC, and 27,998 in United States. 38.18.230.153:8888 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 368ms it answers faster than the 7702ms median for United States proxies (about 5% of it).
Tier.Net Technologies LLC is the 39th 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 1,547 addresses on AS397423, which is 0.19% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 39th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 1 of them is answering right now, so if this particular address is not usable, the network is a reasonable place to look for one that is.

Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 38.18.230.153:8888
38.18.230.153:8888 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 8888: HTTP, alternate
Port 8888 is another common stand-in for port 80, and the default for several debugging and proxy-inspection tools. Seeing it usually says more about the software than about the host.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens a real connection to 38.18.230.153:8888 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. 38.18.230.153:8888 has completed that handshake on all 8 attempts so far, which is rare on a free public proxy and worth treating with some suspicion until the record is longer. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, which is how we know it spoke HTTP and HTTPS and SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.
8 checks, 8 answered
That is 100% of the time, measured since September 20, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
38.18.230.153:8888 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).
