About Free Proxies

Understanding Free Proxy Lists

Learn how free proxies work and when to upgrade to premium proxies for reliability and security.

What is a Free Proxy List?

A free proxy list is a directory of publicly available proxy server IP addresses anyone can use. Each proxy is verified for uptime, speed, and protocol support and refreshed every 10 minutes. Dead proxies are removed automatically so you always get working addresses.

Free vs. Premium Proxies

Free proxies provide basic anonymity but are shared among many users, slower, and frequently go offline. For web scraping at scale, ad verification, or geo-targeted tasks, Databay's premium proxies offer dedicated IPs, 99.9%+ uptime, 200+ country coverage, and 24/7 support.

Live Uptime Verification

Every proxy in this list is checked automatically every 10 minutes. Each entry includes its last verified timestamp, latency, and protocol details so you can make informed decisions about which proxies to use for your workload.

Proxy Fundamentals

Understanding Proxy Servers

A complete guide to proxy servers, protocols, use cases, and how to use them effectively.

HTTP, HTTPS & SOCKS5 Protocols

Protocol Layer Encryption Best For
HTTP Application None Basic browsing, data collection
HTTPS Application SSL/TLS Secure sites, login pages
SOCKS5 Transport Optional All traffic (TCP/UDP/FTP)

HTTP proxies handle standard web traffic and work well for basic browsing and data collection from HTTP websites. They operate at the application layer and can interpret web requests directly.

HTTPS proxies (also called SSL proxies) support encrypted connections. When you access a site over HTTPS through one of these proxies, the connection between your browser and the proxy is tunneled, so the proxy cannot read the encrypted payload. Use these for any site that requires a secure connection.

SOCKS5 proxies are the most versatile. They operate at a lower network layer and are protocol-agnostic, they can tunnel any TCP or UDP traffic including web, FTP, SMTP, and game traffic. SOCKS5 also supports authentication and IPv6. For anything beyond basic web browsing, SOCKS5 is the preferred choice.

Common Use Cases for Free Proxies

  • Geo-restriction bypass Access content that is blocked in your country by routing through a proxy in a different region.
  • Basic web scraping Collect publicly available data from websites that rate-limit by IP address. Rotating through multiple proxies prevents blocks on small-scale scraping jobs.
  • Privacy and anonymity Hide your real IP address from websites you visit for casual browsing. Note that free proxies do not guarantee zero logging.
  • Testing and QA Developers and QA engineers use proxies to test how their applications behave when accessed from different countries or network conditions.
  • Academic research Researchers collecting publicly available data from multiple regions can use proxies to gather geographically diverse samples.

Free Proxies vs. Premium Proxies

Free Proxies
  • Shared infrastructure
  • Unreliable uptime
  • Slow speeds, high latency
  • Often offline within hours
  • Hundreds of concurrent users
Premium (Databay)
  • 34M residential IPs
  • 99.9%+ uptime
  • Auto-rotation & sticky sessions
  • 200+ countries covered
  • 24/7 dedicated support

For any production workload, price monitoring, ad verification, market research, or large-scale scraping, premium proxies are the only reliable option.

How to Use a Proxy

Most tools accept a proxy in the format host:port or host:port:username:password. Copy the IP and port from this list, then configure:

cURL
curl -x http://IP:PORT https://target.com
Python
import requests

proxies = {"http": "http://IP:PORT"}
requests.get("https://target.com", proxies=proxies)
Browser
Settings > Network > Proxy Configuration
Enter IP, Port, and select HTTP or SOCKS5

For premium rotating proxies from Databay, the endpoint is gw.databay.co:8888 with your credentials using the format countryCode-XX:sessionId-YY.

Methodology

How We Verify These Proxies

An open look at how Databay discovers, probes and scores every entry in this list.

Every proxy on this page is an IP and port harvested from publicly known proxy sources and then put through a continuous verification loop. Fresh batches land on this page within seconds of being re-probed, and every candidate is re-verified on a rolling 10-minute window. Any proxy whose most recent check is older than 6 hours is dropped from this list entirely, stale entries never appear, regardless of how the upstream feed behaves.

For each probe we open a real connection, issue a lightweight HTTP request and a targeted HTTPS request, and measure the end-to-end round-trip. The result drives three public columns:

  • Speed is the median latency in milliseconds of the last successful request. We bucket it into Fast (<500 ms), Medium (<1500 ms) and Slow.
  • Uptime is the percentage of successful probes across the full lifetime of each IP:port pair. Entries with consistent failures are removed, not merely hidden.
  • Google-passed means the proxy successfully completed a probe against google.com without receiving a block page or CAPTCHA. A large share of free proxies are permanently blacklisted by Google.

Anonymity level is detected by inspecting the headers the proxy forwards. Elite proxies strip every identifying header (no Via, no X-Forwarded-For, no Forwarded); Anonymous proxies hide the client IP but still announce themselves via one of those headers; Transparent proxies pass the real client IP through to the origin and offer no privacy benefit. HTTPS support is reported in three states, full (valid certificate chain), loose (works only with SSL verification disabled), and unsupported (HTTP destinations only).

Dead proxies are not kept on the page to inflate the count: if an entry stops responding, it disappears on the next cycle. That is why the list size shifts throughout the day. Machine-readable copies of this dataset (with the same fields) are available at /api/v1/proxy-list in json, csv and plain-text formats.

FAQ

Free Proxy List - Common Questions

What is a free proxy list?
A free proxy list is a directory of publicly available proxy server IP addresses and ports. These proxies are open to use by anyone and are tested regularly for uptime, speed, and protocol compatibility. Our list supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies and is updated every 10 minutes.
Are free proxies safe to use?
Free proxies provide basic anonymity but come with risks. They are shared among many users, may log your traffic, and lack the security guarantees of commercial services. For sensitive tasks, consider our premium residential proxies which offer dedicated, encrypted connections with no logging. Learn more: Are Free Proxies Safe?
How often is this list updated?
Our free proxy list is verified and refreshed automatically every 10 minutes. Each proxy is tested for responsiveness, latency, and SSL support. Proxies that fail uptime checks are removed and replaced. The "Updated" column in the table shows the exact time each proxy was last verified. Learn more: Our free proxy list methodology.
What is the difference between HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies?
HTTP proxies handle standard web traffic. HTTPS proxies add SSL/TLS encryption for secure connections. SOCKS5 proxies are the most versatile - they work at a lower level and support any TCP/UDP traffic, including email, FTP, and gaming, not just web browsing. For web scraping, HTTP and HTTPS are the simplest to use.
How do I use a proxy from this list?
Copy the IP:Port using the copy button next to any proxy in the table. For cURL, run curl -x http://IP:PORT https://example.com. For Python, use requests.get(url, proxies={"http": "http://IP:PORT", "https": "http://IP:PORT"}). In your browser, go to Settings > Network > Proxy and enter the IP and Port. Proxies marked “HTTPS” work with secure websites. Proxies marked “HTTP” only work with non-secure (http://) websites, if a proxy doesn’t seem to work, check whether you’re connecting to an HTTPS site with an HTTP-only proxy. Full setup walkthroughs: How to use a free proxy (cURL, Python, Node.js, Scrapy, Playwright).
What do Elite, Anonymous, and Transparent mean?
These are anonymity levels that describe how much information a proxy reveals about you. Elite (also called high anonymity) proxies completely hide your real IP and do not reveal that you are using a proxy at all. Anonymous proxies hide your IP address but websites can detect you are using a proxy via HTTP headers like Via or X-Forwarded-For. Transparent proxies forward your real IP address to the destination server, they provide no anonymity and are mainly used for caching. Learn more: Proxy anonymity levels explained.
What does the SSL column mean?
The SSL column indicates whether the proxy can access HTTPS websites (sites starting with https://). This is about the destination site, not the proxy connection itself. A proxy marked with a checkmark can tunnel encrypted traffic to HTTPS sites. A proxy marked with a lock icon works with HTTPS but requires you to disable SSL verification in your client (verify=False in Python, -k in cURL). A cross means the proxy only works with plain HTTP sites.
What does "Google Passed" mean?
The Google column shows whether the proxy can successfully access Google without being blocked or receiving a CAPTCHA. Many free proxies are blocked by Google due to abuse. If you need proxies for Google-related tasks (SERP scraping, Google Ads verification), filter for proxies with a green checkmark in the Google column.
Do you offer a free API?
Yes. Our free proxy list API is available at https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list. It supports filtering by protocol, country, anonymity level, speed, and Google compatibility. Output formats include JSON, CSV, and plain text. The API is rate limited to 50 requests per second with 10-second caching. See the API documentation section below for details.
Why should I upgrade to premium proxies?
Databay's premium proxies offer 34M+ dedicated IPs across 200+ countries with 99.9%+ uptime, rotating and sticky sessions, geo-targeting by country/city/carrier, and 24/7 support. Free proxies are unreliable for production use - they are frequently offline, slow, and shared with unknown users. For any serious automation or scraping workload, premium proxies are the right tool.
