This free proxy list helps you find public servers by protocol, country, speed, uptime, and anonymity. Filter the table, compare latency and recent check data, then copy or export the results you need. Test a selected address before using it because public servers can change quickly.
How to use a free proxy from this list
Copy a proxy's IP address and port into your browser, device, or app. Choose a protocol your app supports. Check that your public IP changes.
Google Chrome (Windows, macOS)
Open Settings → System → Open your computer’s proxy settings. Add a free proxy server and save the change. See the Chrome setup guide.
Firefox
Open Settings → Network Settings → Manual proxy configuration. Enter a server from the public proxy list. See the Firefox setup guide.
Windows 11
Search for Change proxy settings and open Manual proxy setup. Enter an address from the working proxy list, then select Save. See the Windows setup guide.
macOS
Open System Settings → Network and select the connection. Open Details → Proxies, then enter the server details. See the macOS setup guide.
Android
Open the Wi-Fi network settings and choose Proxy → Manual. Enter the host and port, then save. See the Android setup guide.
In Python (requests): 5-line snippet with a proxy from the list
Python’s requests library can test a selected HTTP proxy. Replace the placeholders with a current table entry.
HTTP vs HTTPS vs SOCKS4 vs SOCKS5: which proxy type to pick
Choose the protocol your application supports. Use the table below for a quick comparison, or see our protocol guide for more details.
Protocol
Best for
Important limitation
HTTP
Basic browsing and web requests
Does not encrypt traffic itself
HTTPS
Connections to HTTPS websites
The website connection provides encryption
SOCKS4
Basic TCP applications
Fewer features and no standard authentication
SOCKS5
Applications that support SOCKS
Does not encrypt traffic by itself
When you need SOCKS5
Use SOCKS5 when your app supports it. It works with more types of traffic than HTTP. A free socks5 proxy list can help with short tests, but check each endpoint first.
When HTTP is enough
HTTP is enough for basic browsing, web requests, and short tests on public data. Use HTTPS targets when information must be encrypted in transit.
Elite, anonymous and transparent proxies explained
These labels describe what a proxy may reveal. An elite proxy usually hides the original address and its proxy status. An anonymous proxy hides the original address but may identify itself as a proxy. A transparent proxy may expose both.
A free anonymous proxy is still operated by an unknown third party. Its label does not guarantee privacy, security, or safe handling of your traffic.
How to check a proxy's anonymity level in 10 seconds
Check your public IP before and after you enable the proxy. Confirm that it changed. Then use a proxy-header test to see if the original address or proxy headers appear.
Why free proxies go offline and how we check them every minute
Public servers go offline for many reasons. Servers stop, ports change, or too much traffic slows them down. Some sites may also block access.
Entries are checked every minute. Recent check data and uptime can help you choose a server. They cannot guarantee that it will work for your request.
Free proxies vs paid residential proxies: when free is enough
Factor
Public servers
Paid residential service
Reliability
Can disconnect without warning
Managed infrastructure
Rotation
Usually manual
Automatic rotation available
Location choice
Depends on current entries
Targeting options are available
Support
No support for individual endpoints
Provider support
Best fit
Learning and short tests
Regular or larger workloads
Tasks where a free proxy works
A public endpoint can work for small, temporary tasks that do not use private data.
Learning how proxy settings work
Checking whether an application supports proxies
Making short test requests to public data
Never send passwords, payment details, or private information through an unknown server.
Tasks where you need residential proxies
Use residential proxies when you need stable access, automatic IP changes, sticky sessions, location targeting, or support. They suit repeated or high-volume work. You do not need to manually rotate failed endpoints.
How the Generator Works
01
Set Your Filters
Choose country, proxy type, anonymity level, and minimum speed. The more specific your filters, the smaller but more reliable your list.
02
Generate
We query our real-time database of publicly available proxies. Lists refresh continuously - proxies older than 24 hours are automatically removed.
03
Export
Copy the list, download as TXT (ip:port format), CSV (with all metadata), or grab the API endpoint URL for programmatic access.
Free lists contain public proxies with no uptime guarantee.
Free proxies carry risk because their operators and logging rules may be unknown. Never send login details, payment information, or private data through them. HTTPS protects data while it moves between you and a website. It does not make the proxy operator trustworthy.
The page checks entries every minute. It also shows recent check information. A server can stop working between checks, so test it before use.
Yes, you can use these proxies for web scraping. However, you should always use authenticated proxies from a trusted provider like Geonode.
The API returns the proxies in the following format: `ip:port`. You can use this format to access the proxies.
Use the controls above the table to copy or download results. You can export TXT or CSV. You can also use JSON through the generated API option. Apply filters first if you need a specific protocol or location.
The server may be offline or too busy. Your network or the target site may also block it. Check the protocol and port for typing errors. Then try a recently checked entry with better availability data.
