Disclaimer: This is a curated aggregation of publicly available proxy servers from open community sources (Proxifly, GeoNode, ProxyScrape, Monosans). These are free public proxies shared by their operators. We do not own, operate, or guarantee these proxies. Use at your own risk and only for legitimate purposes such as web scraping, privacy research, and development testing. Do not use proxies for illegal activities, fraud, or unauthorized access. Always comply with your local laws and the target website's terms of service.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet, masking your real IP address. Proxies are used for privacy, bypassing geo-restrictions, web scraping, and anonymous browsing.
What is the difference between HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5?
HTTP proxies handle web traffic only. SOCKS4 supports TCP but lacks authentication. SOCKS5 is the most versatile — supports TCP/UDP, authentication, and IPv6. Use SOCKS5 for torrenting/gaming, HTTP for browsing.
What are Elite, Anonymous, and Transparent proxies?
Elite proxies fully hide your IP and proxy usage. Anonymous proxies hide your IP but reveal proxy usage. Transparent proxies don't hide anything — used mainly for caching.
How often is this proxy list updated?
Every 10 minutes from 4 sources: Proxifly, GeoNode, ProxyScrape, and Monosans. Dead proxies are removed automatically.
Can I use the API in my application?
Yes! Our JSON API at /api/proxies is free with no authentication required. It returns all proxies with IP, port, protocol, country, city, anonymity level, and speed score. Data refreshes every 10 minutes.
