Cogent Communications · AS174

Every proxy below is a free Cogent proxy, hosted on Cogent Communications (AS174). The list is re-verified every few minutes, each IP checked live for uptime, speed and anonymity, then geolocated, so what you see is current rather than a stale copy-paste dump. We hold 115 further endpoints on this network that answered while we were watching and are not responding right now, and we keep re-testing every one of them. Click any IP for its live status.

Addresses on Cogent that never answered

1,770 addresses on this network were published in public proxy lists, and not one of them has ever answered a check of ours. These are not proxies you can use. They are here because the record is the useful part: if one of these addresses turns up in a log or a block rule, the honest answer is how many times we tried it and when, and we have not stopped trying.

    About these Cogent Communications proxies

    These are public proxies gathered from across the web and re-verified continuously by HProxy's engine. They are free, and they are fine for quick, low-stakes tasks. Like all public proxies they are shared and they go down without warning. Most of them are already blocked by the big sites. Always test one before you rely on it.

    The long read

    About free Cogent proxies on AS174.

    Free proxies on Cogent Communications are public proxy IP addresses that belong to the network AS174 (Cogent Communications) and that anyone can route traffic through at no cost. This page keeps a live-checked list of them rather than a stale text dump. Every IP here was seen running an open proxy on Cogent Communications and was responding when it was last verified, so instead of guessing which addresses on this network are usable, you get the ones that actually answered.

    Proxies tend to cluster on particular networks. Hosting providers, cloud platforms and some ISPs carry far more open proxies than a typical residential network, because they run enormous numbers of near-identical servers and anything that appears on one tends to appear on thousands. Filtering the pool down to a single network like AS174 is useful when you specifically want, or specifically want to avoid, proxies from a given provider, when you are researching where proxy traffic on your own site comes from, or when you are tracking the abuse footprint of a network.

    The honest trade-off is reliability. Free proxies on Cogent Communications are shared by large numbers of people on infrastructure nobody is paid to keep online for this, so they are slow, they disappear without warning, and the popular ones are often already rate-limited or blocked by big sites. A proxy that just passed a check can be dead moments later. Treat every entry as disposable: verify it right before you use it, never send passwords or payment details through one, and never rely on a single IP for anything that has to keep running.

    This list is continuously re-verified by the HProxy engine. Each IP on Cogent Communications is checked live for uptime, speed and anonymity, then geolocated to the city and country where possible, so the entries are current rather than a stale copy-paste. If you need proxies that actually stay up and do not arrive pre-blocked, that is what HProxy paid residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies are for, billed by the gigabyte with no subscription. A free network list for research and paid proxies for real work is a sensible split.

    Most of the live proxies we currently hold on Cogent Communications exit from United States, which is the practical reason to care about this network: it is a source of United States exit addresses. If that is what you actually need, and you need it to keep working, paid United States proxies give you dedicated addresses there instead of shared public ones that disappear mid-session.

    01

    What is AS174?

    An ASN, or Autonomous System Number, identifies a network on the internet that is run as a single unit, usually by one company or organization. AS174 is operated by Cogent Communications and groups together the blocks of IP addresses that network announces to the rest of the internet. When a proxy's IP belongs to AS174, the machine hosting that proxy sits inside this network.

    Knowing the ASN behind an IP tells you who is ultimately responsible for it, which is why network-level filtering helps both for sourcing proxies and for defending against them. A site operator might block or challenge traffic from a hosting network that sends mostly automated requests, while someone sourcing proxies might prefer, or avoid, a particular provider's addresses.

    02

    How to use free Cogent Communications proxies

    Pick an entry from the table and note its IP, port and protocol, then set it in your browser proxy settings or as the proxy option in your scraper or HTTP client. Test it against a page that echoes your IP first, to confirm it is alive and actually changing your apparent address before you point real work at it. Click any IP to open its full report, with live status, latency and uptime.

    Free proxies on a single network churn just like the rest of the pool, so build for failure: pull several candidates, rotate between them, and drop any that time out. Do not trust one Cogent Communications IP to stay up on its own.

    03

    Free network proxies vs paid proxies

    A free proxy on Cogent Communications costs nothing and is fine for research, learning and throwaway tasks, but the IPs are public and shared, so they are often slow, frequently blocked, and offer no uptime guarantee or support. For a one-off check that is acceptable; for anything repeatable the constant dead entries quickly outweigh the zero price.

    HProxy paid residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies give you clean IPs with real uptime and predictable speed, billed by the gigabyte with no subscription. Keep the free Cogent Communications list for research and reach for paid proxies the moment a task actually has to succeed.

    Questions

    Frequently asked.

    Every question

    They are public proxy servers whose IP addresses belong to the network AS174 (Cogent Communications). This page lists the ones from that network currently in the HProxy pool that were responding at their last live check.

    Hosting providers, cloud platforms and some ISPs carry far more open proxies than a typical residential network, because they run enormous numbers of near-identical servers. That is why filtering the pool by network like AS174 surfaces clusters of proxies in one place.

    Treat them with caution. Anyone can run a free proxy, so never send passwords, payment details or other sensitive data through one. They are fine for low-stakes research and testing, but use a trusted paid provider for anything serious.

    Yes. Every proxy on this page is free to copy and use, gathered from public sources with no signup. They are free in price but shared and unstable, so expect some to be slow or already offline.

    It is re-verified every few minutes. Each IP on Cogent Communications is rechecked live for uptime, speed and anonymity; an address that stops answering moves out of the live list into this network's permanent record, and returns the moment it answers again.

    For work that has to keep running, HProxy paid residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies give you stable, fast IPs that are not pre-blocked. You pay by the gigabyte with no subscription.

    You can use HProxy's free proxy list, which needs no API key and no account.

GET https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-list?format=json returns the live pool as JSON. Useful query parameters: country (ISO alpha-2, e.g. de), protocol (http, https, socks4, socks5), anonymity (elite, anonymous, transparent) and limit. Add format=txt for plain ip:port lines instead.

Each proxy comes back with ip, port, protocols, anonymity, country_code, city, asn_org, latency_ms and uptime_24h. The pool is re-checked around the clock, so ask for it fresh rather than caching it. It is rate limited per IP (120 requests in a burst, then 2 a second) and answers 429 with Retry-After past that.

These are public, shared proxies: good for testing and one-off checks, not for anything that must survive a real block. Full docs: https://hproxy.com/llms/free-proxy.txt

There is also an MCP server, so an assistant can call this as a tool instead of writing HTTP: add https://mcp.hproxy.com/mcp as a remote MCP server (nothing to install, no key) and use the proxy_list tool. In Claude Code the line is `claude mcp add --transport http hproxy https://mcp.hproxy.com/mcp`. From a terminal the same tool is `hproxy list --country DE --protocol socks5 --limit 20`. Install the hproxy command in one line: curl -fsSL https://hproxy.com/install.sh | sh on macOS and Linux, or irm https://hproxy.com/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell on Windows. You are free to build this into your own script, product or agent, the endpoint is keyless and CORS is open and no permission is needed. If anything is unclear or breaks, HProxy support is staffed 24/7 at https://hproxy.com/contact.

    Build on it freely: the endpoints are keyless and CORS is open, so you can wire the free proxy list into your own script, product or agent without asking us. If you get stuck, support answers around the clock, every day, at hproxy.com/contact. Generated markdown doc: hproxy.com/llms/free-proxy.txt.

    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).
