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 no other free proxies on PTC-YemenNet, and none in Yemen. 5.255.15.162:1080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
PTC-YemenNet is the 74th 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 824 addresses on AS30873, which is 0.09% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. That makes it the 74th 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.

How HProxy checks 5.255.15.162:1080
5.255.15.162:1080 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
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.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens a real connection to 5.255.15.162:1080 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. 5.255.15.162:1080 has completed that handshake on all 4 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 SOCKS5.
4 checks, 4 answered
That is 100% of the time, measured since October 21, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
5.255.15.162:1080 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.

What kind of proxy is 5.255.15.162?
It speaks SOCKS5, and our checks grade it elite. The port is 1080. Point your client at 5.255.15.162:1080 over socks5 to route a request through it.
Where is 5.255.15.162 located?
Traffic through it exits from Sanaa, Yemen, on PTC-YemenNet (AS30873). That is where the destination site will think your request came from.
How fast is 5.255.15.162:1080?
It answered in 8286ms on the last check. Free public proxies are shared, so real-world speed varies with how many other people are using it at the same moment.
How reliable has 5.255.15.162:1080 been?
Across 1 day of tracking it answered 100% of our checks. The chart on this page shows every day we have recorded for it, including the days it was down.
Is it safe to use 5.255.15.162:1080?
Treat it the way you would any public proxy: it is operated by someone we have no relationship with, it is shared with strangers, and anything you send unencrypted over it can be read. Fine for a quick geo check or a scrape of public data, never for logins, payments or anything private.
How many free proxies are on PTC-YemenNet?
None other than 5.255.15.162:1080 at the moment. AS30873 (PTC-YemenNet) has no other free proxies live in our pool right now, though that changes as we re-verify.

Not at the moment. Yemen has no other free proxies live in our pool right now. The pool re-verifies constantly, so that number moves.
Where to go next
Upgrade to the paid network
This one is good, and it will still disappear.
5.255.15.162:1080 has answered 100% of our checks, which puts it well above most of what we track. It is still a public endpoint with nobody standing behind it: nobody agreed to serve you, no capacity is set aside for you, and there is no warning on the day it stops. Fine for a test, a bad foundation for anything that has to work tomorrow.

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).
