Free HTTP proxy list.
Every proxy below speaks HTTP. The list is re-verified every few minutes, each IP checked live for uptime, speed and anonymity, for a clean, current HTTP list you can actually use.
About this list
Every proxy on this page is aggregated from publicly-available proxy lists. We do not scan, scrape, or collect these IP addresses ourselves, and we don’t probe or store anything about the devices behind them. We simply mirror results that are already public, as-is, on the basis of our legitimate interest in offering a free, transparent proxy directory (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If an IP address is yours and you’d like it removed, email [email protected] and we’ll take it down (Art. 21 GDPR).

About these free HTTP proxies
These are public proxies gathered from across the web and continuously re-verified by HProxy’s engine. They’re free and fine for quick, low-stakes tasks. But like all public proxies they’re shared, go down without warning, and are often already blocked by major sites. Always test before you rely on one.
Run any list through our free checker to see which proxies are alive, fast and anonymous right now.

Free HTTP proxies are public HTTP servers that anyone can route traffic through at no cost, and this page keeps a live-checked list of them rather than a stale text dump. Each entry forwards your connection so the destination sees the proxy IP instead of yours, and every address here is a real HTTP proxy that was responding when it was last verified. Because they are free and need no signup, they are the quickest way to experiment with HTTP, test how a site behaves through a proxy, or run a one-off task before paying for anything.
The honest trade-off is reliability. These HTTP proxies are shared by large numbers of people on infrastructure nobody is paid to keep online, so they are slow, they disappear without warning, and the popular ones are often already rate-limited or blocked by big sites. A HTTP proxy that just passed a check can drop moments later, so treat every entry as disposable: verify it right before you use it and never push sensitive data or production-critical work through it.
This page lists only HTTP proxies from the public pool, continuously re-verified by the HProxy engine. Each HTTP IP is checked live for uptime, speed and anonymity, then geolocated to the city and ISP where possible, so the entries are current rather than a stale list. That verification spares you most of the dead IPs you would otherwise paste from an old list, but it cannot change what free proxies fundamentally are, so always run a fresh check of your own before depending on one.
Free HTTP proxies are great for experiments, light scraping and seeing how a site responds through a proxy. For work that has to keep running, where you need stable HTTP connections that do not arrive pre-blocked, HProxy paid proxies are the reliable alternative: real uptime and speed, pay by the gigabyte, no subscription. Keeping the free HTTP list for quick tests and reaching for paid proxies when a task actually has to succeed is a sensible split.
What is a HTTP proxy?
HTTP proxies are built for web traffic. A plain HTTP proxy handles unencrypted web requests and is the simplest option to set up. For sites served over HTTPS, which is most of the modern web, you will want an HTTPS proxy that can tunnel encrypted traffic.
If your work goes beyond the browser, for example tunneling non-HTTP TCP traffic or needing UDP and remote DNS, a SOCKS5 proxy is the more flexible choice. For ordinary web browsing and scraping, an HTTP or HTTPS proxy is usually all you need.
How to use free HTTP proxies
A HTTP proxy is set as an http:// or https:// proxy URL in the form http://IP:PORT, or entered into your browser proxy settings as the host and port from the table. Your scraper or HTTP client then routes web requests through it. It is the simplest setup, ideal for plain web requests and quick tests.
Free HTTP proxies die constantly, so build for failure: pull several from the list, rotate between them, and drop any that time out or return errors. The download button gives you the whole filtered HTTP slice as plain text, ready to load into your tool as a batch. Test each one against a simple endpoint that echoes your IP first, to confirm it is alive and actually changing your apparent address before you point real work at it.
Free HTTP proxy vs paid HTTP proxy
A free HTTP proxy costs nothing and is ideal for 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 single quick check that is fine; for anything you need to repeat, the constant dead entries quickly outweigh the zero price.
A paid HTTP proxy gives you dedicated or cleanly rotated IPs, real uptime and predictable speed on addresses that have not been burned by thousands of strangers. HProxy paid proxies are billed by the gigabyte with no subscription, so you only pay for what you use and keep the free HTTP list purely for experiments.
Are these HTTP proxies free?
Yes. Every HTTP 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.
How do I use free HTTP proxies?
A HTTP proxy is set as an http:// or https:// proxy URL in the form http://IP:PORT, or entered into your browser proxy settings as the host and port from the table. Your scraper or HTTP client then routes web requests through it. It is the simplest setup, ideal for plain web requests and quick tests. Always test a HTTP proxy against a page that shows your IP before relying on it, and rotate through several because free ones drop often.
How often is the free HTTP proxy list updated?
The HTTP list is re-verified every few minutes. Each IP is rechecked live for uptime, speed and anonymity, and dead entries drop off, so the list stays close to current.
Are free HTTP proxies reliable?
Not really. Free HTTP proxies are shared by many users and run on unmaintained infrastructure, so they are slow and go offline without warning. They are fine for testing and one-off tasks, but not for anything that has to stay up.
Why are free HTTP proxies so slow?
Each HTTP proxy is shared by many people at once on infrastructure no one maintains, so the bandwidth is split many ways and the servers are often overloaded. That is why connections are slow or time out. Paid proxies avoid this with dedicated or cleanly rotated capacity.
Can I download the HTTP proxy list?
Yes. Use the download button at the top of the page to grab the full HTTP set as a plain text file, or copy individual IPs straight from the table.
What is a good alternative to free HTTP proxies?
For serious work, HProxy paid residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies give you stable, fast connections that are not pre-blocked. You pay by the gigabyte with no subscription, so it is easy to use the free HTTP list for experiments and paid proxies for real work.
Need HTTP proxies that don’t die?
HProxy residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies. Real uptime and speed, pay by the gigabyte, no subscription.
