Free Hostkey AS proxies 2026

Free proxies on HOSTKEY-AS are public proxy IP addresses that belong to the network AS57043 (HOSTKEY-AS) 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 HOSTKEY-AS 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 AS57043 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 HOSTKEY-AS 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 HOSTKEY-AS 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 HOSTKEY-AS exit from Netherlands, which is the practical reason to care about this network: it is a source of Netherlands exit addresses. If that is what you actually need, and you need it to keep working, paid Netherlands proxies give you dedicated addresses there instead of shared public ones that disappear mid-session.
