Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 5 other free proxies on FR Scaleway, and 244 in France. 51.159.97.242:10006 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 55ms it answers faster than the 775ms median for France proxies (about 7% of it).
How many free proxies are on ONLINENET_DEDICATED_SERVERS
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 620 addresses on AS12876, which is 0.11% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 73rd largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 6 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 51.159.97.242:10006
51.159.97.242:10006 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 10006: 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.
It has answered every single check
Each check opens a real connection to 51.159.97.242:10006 and gives it up to 90 seconds to answer. Slow is not the same as dead, and plenty of working proxies take half a minute to reply. 51.159.97.242:10006 has completed that handshake on all 119 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.
119 checks, 119 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
51.159.97.242:10006 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).
