No. We have no record of an open public proxy on 2.27.149.172 in the HProxy database. The address is not in our continuously verified pool of public proxies.
The HProxy database has no record of an open public proxy on 2.27.149.172. This means the address is not currently in our continuously verified pool of public proxies. It does not prove the IP is never used as a proxy: it may be a private proxy, a VPN endpoint, or simply an ordinary residential, mobile or server address. Our database tracks proxies that publicly accept connections and pass live verification.
A proxy on an IP address means that address is running a server that forwards other people’s traffic. When you route a request through it, the site you visit sees the proxy’s IP instead of yours. Public proxies like the ones in this database are open for anyone to use, which is exactly why they are useful for quick tests and equally why they are unreliable: they are shared by large numbers of strangers and run on infrastructure nobody is paid to maintain.
People look up whether a specific IP is a proxy for two main reasons. The first is to use it: you found 2.27.149.172 on a list and want to know if it is alive, what protocols it speaks, and where it exits before pointing a scraper or browser at it. The second is to defend against it: you run a site and want to know if traffic from 2.27.149.172 is coming through an open proxy, so you can decide whether to challenge or block it. This page answers both from the same data.
Whichever side you are on, remember that free, public proxies are unstable by nature. An IP that is alive right now can be dead within minutes, anonymity grades are best-effort rather than guaranteed, and popular addresses are often already rate-limited or blocked by large sites. Never send passwords, payment details or anything sensitive through a public proxy, and always verify an IP right before you depend on it. For work that has to keep running, dedicated or cleanly rotated paid proxies are the dependable alternative.
Not according to the HProxy database. We have no record of an open public proxy on 2.27.149.172 right now. That does not prove it is never used as a proxy, only that it is not in our continuously verified pool of public proxies.
Not necessarily. It only means 2.27.149.172 is not listed as a public proxy in our database. An IP can still be a private proxy, a VPN, or simply a normal residential or server address. Our database covers public, openly reachable proxies.
Most IP addresses are not public proxies. Our database tracks IPs that publicly accept proxy connections and pass verification. If 2.27.149.172 is a normal home, mobile or server address, it simply would not appear here.
Yes. The public proxy pool changes constantly as IPs open up, get abused, or go offline. This page is re-checked regularly, so if 2.27.149.172 starts accepting proxy connections and passes our checks, it will appear here on a later visit.
