across all 250 checks
United KingdomHow this one compares
250 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 250 times, which is why the answer on this page is a flat no rather than a maybe.
0%

Pool median 15.1%. 94.72.109.196:3129 sits below it, which is ordinary for a public proxy.

Each one opens a socket and waits up to 90 seconds. Slow and unreachable look identical if you stop listening early.

Most recent re-test
HProxy has opened 250 real connections to this endpoint in total. The sweep reaches every address in the database roughly once every 24 hours.
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 94.72.109.196:3129
HProxy has checked 94.72.109.196:3129 250 times and it answered 1 of those. Every one of those was a real connection attempt, never a lookup.
One public source published it
94.72.109.196 reached HProxy through a single public proxy source. Being published on a list is a claim that an address works. It is not a test, and nobody on that chain is obliged to have tried it.
Port 3129: Squid, second instance
Port 3129 is Squid's second port. When an address is already serving Squid on 3128, this is where the second instance normally sits.
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 94.72.109.196:3129 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. 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.
250 checks, 1 answered
That is 0% of the time, measured since May 13, 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. 94.72.109.196:3129 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 14, 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 27 other free proxies on Contabo, and 180 in United Kingdom. 94.72.109.196:3129 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are.
CONTABO is the 32nd 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 1,544 addresses on AS51167, which is 0.26% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 32nd largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 27 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 94.72.109.196:3129
Is 94.72.109.196:3129 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 June 14, 2026. We still re-test it periodically in case it returns.
Was 94.72.109.196 ever actually a proxy?
Yes. We ran 250 checks against it and it answered 1 of them, about 0% of the time, over 32 days on our list.
What is the hostname for 94.72.109.196?
Its reverse DNS record is vmi1234865.contaboserver.net. That is what the address itself publishes about who operates it, which is often more telling than the network name: hosting providers name their machines by region and instance type, and a residential line usually carries its ISP's own pattern.
Where was 94.72.109.196 hosted?
Portsmouth, England, United Kingdom, CONTABO (AS51167). 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 Contabo?
27 other free proxies are live on Contabo (AS51167) in our pool right now, alongside 94.72.109.196:3129. 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 United Kingdom?
Yes, 180 free proxies are exiting from United Kingdom in our pool right now, answering in 815ms 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).
