How HProxy checks 65.21.61.221:8080
65.21.61.221:8080 has been through 1,250 checks on HProxy's list, answering 204 of them. Few addresses in the database carry a record this long.
35 public sources published it
65.21.61.221 appears in 35 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 8080: HTTP, alternate
Port 8080 is the most common proxy port on the internet. It stands in for port 80, and unlike port 80 any program can open it without administrator rights. That single detail is why so much ends up here, the deliberate and the accidental alike.
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 65.21.61.221:8080 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. 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.
1,250 checks, 204 answered
That is 16% of the time, measured since July 4, 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. 65.21.61.221:8080 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 8, 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 17 other free proxies on Hetzner, and 40 in Finland. 65.21.61.221:8080 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
How many free proxies are on HETZNER-AS
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 4,376 addresses on AS24940, which is 0.74% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 14th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 17 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 65.21.61.221:8080
Is 65.21.61.221:8080 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 24, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 65.21.61.221 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 1,250 checks against it and it answered 204 of them, about 16% of the time, over 20 days on our list.
Where was 65.21.61.221 hosted?
Finland, HETZNER-AS (AS24940). 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 Hetzner?
17 other free proxies are live on Hetzner (AS24940) in our pool right now, alongside 65.21.61.221:8080. 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 Finland?
Yes, 40 free proxies are exiting from Finland in our pool right now, answering in 2656ms 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).
