Is 79.98.186.70:3128 a proxy? It was listed.
79.98.186.70:3128 was listed as a public proxy in 10 of our sources, but across 5 checks it never once resolved to a connectable proxy. We keep re-testing it around the clock, and it has never come online for us.
never connectable
RussiaHow this one compares
5 attempts. Not one connection.
Being published on a proxy list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody in that chain is obliged to have tried it. We tried 5 times, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe.
0%
of 5 checks answered
Pool median 16.8%. 79.98.186.70:3128 sits below it, which is ordinary for a public proxy.
5
real connection attempts
Each one opens a socket and waits up to 90 seconds. Slow and dead look identical if you stop listening early.
0
days in our records, never once answering
It is not in the lifespan figures at all: those cover the 191,868 endpoints that worked at least once before they stopped.
What normal looks like
Every number above is measured against these two.
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.

How HProxy checks 79.98.186.70:3128
HProxy has opened a connection to 79.98.186.70:3128 5 times and it has never once answered. That is a measurement, not an assumption, and it is the difference between this record and the lists that republished the address without testing it.
10 public sources published it
79.98.186.70 appears in 10 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 3128: Squid default
Port 3128 is the default for Squid, the most widely installed proxy software in the world. Most addresses published on 3128 are Squid servers that were meant to serve one office or one network and ended up reachable by everybody.
Every failure here was measured, not assumed
Each check opens a real connection to 79.98.186.70:3128 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. Nothing about this record is inherited from the list that published the address. 5 times HProxy tried, and 5 times the connection did not complete inside that budget, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe. The handshake is attempted across HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, so a proxy is never missed because we guessed the wrong protocol.
5 checks, zero connections
Not one of those 5 attempts reached a working proxy. The address stays in the database with that result attached, because "we tried 5 times and it never answered" is a far more useful answer than silence for anyone who found 79.98.186.70 somewhere and wants to know what it is.
It is still re-tested every 24 hours
79.98.186.70:3128 has never answered, and it is still in the rotation anyway. The sweep reaches every address in the database roughly once every 24 hours regardless of its history, because an address that was dark for months can be brought back online by whoever controls it without telling anybody. Its last check was on August 8, 2026, so the next one is due within a day of that. If that ever happens here, this page changes on its own.

Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 1 other free proxy on Selectel MSK, and 293 in Russia. 79.98.186.70:3128 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 SELECTEL-MSK
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 82 addresses on AS50340, which is 0.01% of every address in the database and a small corner of the database. 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.

Questions about 79.98.186.70:3128
Is 79.98.186.70:3128 a working proxy?
No. 79.98.186.70:3128 was published as a public proxy by our sources, but across 5 checks it never once resolved to a connectable proxy.
Was 79.98.186.70 ever actually a proxy?
It was listed as one, but no. 5 checks, zero successful connections. Plenty of "free proxy" lists republish addresses without ever testing them.
Where was 79.98.186.70 hosted?
Russia, SELECTEL-MSK (AS50340). It is a residential or ISP address rather than a datacenter one.
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 Selectel MSK?
1 other free proxy is live on Selectel MSK (AS50340) in our pool right now, alongside 79.98.186.70:3128. 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 Russia?
Yes, 293 free proxies are exiting from Russia in our pool right now, answering in 4641ms 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).
