How HProxy checks 47.86.234.70:9898
HProxy has checked 47.86.234.70:9898 796 times and it answered 190 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.
50 public sources published it
47.86.234.70 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 9898: Registered port range
This port sits in the registered range, which any user-level program may listen on without special rights. It carries no reserved meaning of its own, so the number tells you the proxy was configured deliberately on a chosen port rather than on a system 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 an actual connection to 47.86.234.70:9898 and waits up to 4 seconds for the other end to complete a proxy handshake. 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.
796 checks, 190 answered
That is 24% of the time, measured since July 7, 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. 47.86.234.70:9898 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 6, 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 137 other free proxies on Alibaba, and 354 in Hong Kong SAR China. 47.86.234.70:9898 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
What HProxy holds on Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd.
Open proxies are not spread evenly across the internet. They cluster, because one misconfigured template, one cheap hosting reseller or one leaked image tends to produce hundreds of identical machines on the same network. HProxy tracks 11,624 addresses on AS45102, which is 2.0% of every address in the database and a substantial share of everything HProxy tracks. 137 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 47.86.234.70:9898
Is 47.86.234.70:9898 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 18, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 47.86.234.70 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 796 checks against it and it answered 190 of them, about 24% of the time, over 11 days on our list.
Where was 47.86.234.70 hosted?
Hong Kong SAR China, Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd. (AS45102). 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 Alibaba?
137 other free proxies are live on Alibaba (AS45102) in our pool right now, alongside 47.86.234.70:9898. 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 Hong Kong SAR China?
Yes, 354 free proxies are exiting from Hong Kong SAR China in our pool right now, answering in 2340ms 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).
