Free proxy checker.

Paste any HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxies and see — in seconds — which are alive, how fast they are, how anonymous, and where they exit.

No signup, no limits on how often you run it, results stream in live. When you’re done, export the working ones with one click.

§ How it works
§ i

Paste your proxies

Drop in up to 100 proxies, one per line, in IP:PORT or scheme://IP:PORT format. Or upload a .txt file.

§ ii

We test each one live

Every proxy is connected through for real — HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 — to measure speed, anonymity and location.

§ iii

Keep the winners

Sort and filter the results, then copy or download just the working proxies in the format your tool expects.

What the checker tells you

Every proxy is probed through a real connection — not just a ping — so the results reflect how the proxy will actually behave in your tool.

Alive / dead status

Each proxy is connected through in real time — you see exactly which ones respond and which are dead.

Protocol detection

Automatically tests HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 so you know what each proxy actually supports.

Anonymity grade

Transparent, anonymous or elite — graded by what the proxy leaks about you, so you know how private it really is.

Real latency

Measured response time per proxy in milliseconds, colour-coded so the fast ones are obvious at a glance.

Country & network

Geo-location and the ASN / ISP behind every working proxy, with the option to filter by country.

Export working proxies

Copy or download just the working proxies in IP:PORT or URL format — ready to drop straight into your tool.

Anonymity levels, explained

The checker grades each working proxy by how much it reveals about you. Here’s what each grade means in practice.

Elite

Hides your real IP and gives no sign a proxy is in use. The strongest grade — what you want for serious work.

Anonymous

Hides your real IP, but the target can still tell a proxy is being used. Fine for most general browsing.

Transparent

Forwards your real IP and announces the proxy. Offers no privacy — avoid these for anything sensitive.

Proxy checker FAQ

Is the proxy checker really free?

Yes — completely free, no account required. Paste your proxies and check them instantly. Logged-in users can check unlimited proxies and access advanced filters in the dashboard.

How many proxies can I check at once?

The free tool checks up to 100 proxies per run. Create a free account to check unlimited proxies in bulk from your dashboard.

What proxy formats are supported?

Paste one proxy per line in any common format: IP:PORT (e.g. 1.2.3.4:8080), scheme://IP:PORT (e.g. socks5://1.2.3.4:1080), or a full URL. HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 are all detected automatically.

What do the anonymity levels mean?

Transparent proxies forward your real IP and reveal you are using a proxy. Anonymous proxies hide your real IP but still advertise that a proxy is in use. Elite (high-anonymity) proxies hide your IP and do not reveal that a proxy is being used at all — the strongest grade.

What is the difference between HTTP and SOCKS proxies?

HTTP/HTTPS proxies understand web traffic and are ideal for browsing and scraping websites. SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxies operate at a lower level and can tunnel almost any TCP traffic — useful for non-web protocols, with SOCKS5 also supporting authentication and UDP.

Do you store the proxies I check?

The checker verifies your proxies and returns the results to your browser. We do not build a profile from anonymous checks. Working public proxies discovered during a check may be added to our public free-proxy pool.

Why are so many free proxies dead or slow?

Public free proxies are shared by thousands of people, go offline constantly, and are often already blocked by major sites. For reliable, fast connections that actually work, HProxy residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter proxies start from a few dollars with no subscription.

Stop hunting for proxies that don’t die.

HProxy gives you fast, reliable proxies that pass the checker every time — and your balance never expires.
