Know when a free proxy stops being enough
Public endpoints are fine for a quick test. Anything that has to keep running needs a network you control.

How to use a free proxy
Most tools accept a proxy as host:port or host:port:username:password. Copy an endpoint from the list and point your client at it.
- Pick an endpointPrefer rows with high uptime and low latency, then click the address to copy it.
- Match the protocolUse an HTTP proxy setting for HTTP and HTTPS rows, a SOCKS setting for SOCKS rows.
- Send a test requestCheck the reported IP before running anything that matters; public endpoints rotate out fast.
curl -x http://IP:PORT https://target.comimport requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://IP:PORT",
"https": "http://IP:PORT",
}
requests.get("https://target.com", proxies=proxies, timeout=(5, 15))Settings > Network > Proxy Configuration
Enter IP, Port, and select HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5Developers
Free proxy list API
Fetch the live proxy server list as JSON, CSV or TXT with your signed-in Databay account. No purchase or API key is required. Downloads and API requests use your active session and are not cached.
GET https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-listQuery parameters
protocolstring · default all- http, https, socks4, socks5
countrystring · default all- ISO 2-letter code (US, DE, etc.)
anonymitystring · default all- elite, anonymous, transparent
sslstring · default all- strict (valid cert), loose (any HTTPS)
googlebool · default all- true = passed the latest limited reachability probe; not an access guarantee
speedstring · default all- fast, medium, slow
formatstring · default json- json, csv, txt
limitint · default 500- 1-1000 proxies per page
pageint · default 1- Pagination page number

How checks work
Candidates are collected from public proxy sources and tested before publication. An IP address and port appear only after the checker records a successful connection.
- Latency
Latency is the round-trip time of the latest successful checker request. Fast is below 500 ms, Medium is 500 to 1,499 ms, and Slow is 1,500 ms or more.
- Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of recorded checks that succeeded over the lifetime of the IP address and port pair.
- Freshness
The pool includes only endpoints with a successful check less than six hours old. The last-checked value remains visible so you can judge freshness, and rows at or beyond the cutoff are excluded. If the pool observation is stale or unavailable, current inventory is withheld.
Are these free proxies safe to use?
Do not assume a public proxy is safe. Its operator may inspect or log traffic, and a successful Databay check is not a security review. Use the list only for non-sensitive testing, never for credentials, personal data, payments, or private accounts.
How do I get a free proxy from this list?
No signup is required to view the list or enter an address manually. Sign in to copy, select or download proxies. Choose the free option in the popup to continue without a purchase. Use a recently checked row and the matching protocol in your client.
Is there a free API?
Yes. The /api/v1/proxy-list endpoint returns the live list as JSON, CSV or TXT with filters for protocol, country, SSL, Google-pass, speed and anonymity. It requires your active Databay session, with no purchase or API key required.
How often is the list updated?
Candidates are checked on a rolling five-minute schedule. Use Last Checked for a specific result. Only endpoints with a successful check less than six hours old are published; older rows are excluded.
Why do some proxies stop working quickly?
Public endpoints can become overloaded, change configuration, or go offline without notice. A result only describes the latest successful check, so expect failures and use timeouts and retries for testing.
Do these proxies support HTTPS?
Some do. Strict means the checker completed an HTTPS request with certificate validation; Loose required validation to be disabled; None means no HTTPS tunnel completed. Do not send sensitive data through a public operator.
