How HProxy checks 5.188.159.23:2080
5.188.159.23:2080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 2080: 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.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens an actual connection to 5.188.159.23:2080 and waits up to 4 seconds for the other end to complete a proxy handshake. 5.188.159.23:2080 has completed that handshake on all 32 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.
32 checks, 32 answered
That is 100% of the time, measured since August 7, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
5.188.159.23:2080 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.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 4 other free proxies on Selectel, and 183 in Russia. 5.188.159.23:2080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 2510ms it answers faster than the 3566ms median for Russia proxies (about 70% of it).
What HProxy holds on SELECTEL
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 168 addresses on AS49505, which is 0.03% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. 5 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.

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).
