How this one compares

Reliable enough to sit in the better half of everything we are watching.

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 7,769 proxies answering right now, the middle of the pack answers 22.5% 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.

Where this address sits

Right now our free pool holds 875 other free proxies on M247, and 23,871 in United States. 45.74.31.40:12026 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 443ms it answers faster than the 8801ms median for United States proxies (about 5% of it).

M247 is the 5th 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 26,607 addresses on AS9009, which is 3.4% of every address in the database and a substantial share of everything HProxy tracks. That makes it the 5th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 876 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.

How HProxy checks 45.74.31.40:12026

45.74.31.40:12026 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.

  1. Port 12026: 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.

  2. 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 45.74.31.40:12026 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 SOCKS5.

  3. 133 checks, 36 answered

    That is 27% of the time, measured since September 15, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.

  4. It is being re-tested continuously

    45.74.31.40:12026 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).
