Where this address sits
Right now our free pool holds 4 other free proxies on HostPapa, and 1,653 in Canada. 96.44.137.126:8118 sits inside that set, so if it is not usable the pages below are where its closest alternatives are. At 6761ms it is slower than the 554ms median for Canada proxies.
HostPapa is the 20th 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 3,551 addresses on AS36352, which is 0.53% of every address in the database and a meaningful pocket of the database. That makes it the 20th largest source of free proxies of every network we have ever seen. 5 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.

Continuous monitoring
How HProxy checks 96.44.137.126:8118
96.44.137.126:8118 is in the live pool right now, and it stays there only for as long as it keeps answering.
Port 8118: Privoxy default
Port 8118 is the default for Privoxy, a filtering proxy most often paired with Tor. Finding it suggests somebody built a privacy setup on purpose, rather than leaving a door open by accident.
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 96.44.137.126:8118 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, which is how we know it spoke HTTPS.
1,025 checks, 183 answered
That is 18% of the time, measured since August 6, 2026. Every one of those results, successes and failures alike, is a connection HProxy opened itself.
It is being re-tested continuously
96.44.137.126:8118 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).
