Methodology and limits

A live Databay API snapshot captured 2026-07-19T13:36:13.201Z returned 227 unique endpoints labelled for China. The retrieved China rows were 140 HTTP (62%), 56 SOCKS5 (25%), 31 SOCKS4 (14%). China checker header classifications were 148 ELITE (65%), 71 TRANSPARENT (31%), 8 ANONYMOUS (4%), with a median checker latency of 2,440 ms and a mean reported uptime of 81.0%. The newest China row-level check in this capture was 2026-07-19T13:32:42Z; the oldest was 2026-07-19T07:54:12Z. These China observations come from a volatile public-relay list and do not promise that the same endpoints will remain reachable. In the China rows, “elite”, “anonymous”, SSL, Google, latency, and uptime are fields reported by the checker for particular probes; they do not prove operator identity, permission, security, residential origin, city accuracy, or suitability for sensitive traffic. Re-query the live China endpoint before every authorized test, validate the exit independently, and never send credentials, personal data, production cookies, or confidential payloads through an unknown relay.

Mainland-China QA can vary language, renminbi display, province, account, device, regulatory availability, and delivery state. A public relay is not a dependable way to test regulated or sensitive services, and its country label does not prove a mainland household connection. Use a China-geolocated public proxy only as one disposable country-level network-origin sample for an authorized localization, catalog, advertising, search, accessibility, or delivery-message check. For the China comparison, hold the destination URL, timestamp, account, cookies, browser, language, currency, address, and experiment steps constant, then compare with a direct or controlled reference. Stop the China test when the source blocks, challenges, rate-limits, or disallows the workflow. Confirm any consequential China finding through an official API, licensed feed, controlled paid exit, local reviewer, or the source itself before making a product, compliance, pricing, or enforcement decision.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What did the China proxy API return in this snapshot?
The China capture retrieved 227 unique IP:port endpoints from the country-filtered Databay API. China protocol labels were 140 HTTP (62%), 56 SOCKS5 (25%), 31 SOCKS4 (14%); header classifications were 148 ELITE (65%), 71 TRANSPARENT (31%), 8 ANONYMOUS (4%). The China sample had a median checker latency of 2,440 ms and a mean reported uptime of 81.0%. These China figures are a dated observation, not a live inventory guarantee; use https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list?country=CN for the current result.
Does a China proxy prove a local user or precise location?
No. The China label is a geolocation observation about an exit address and may be stale or wrong. A China label does not establish a household, operator, consent, city, language, account, delivery address, tax state, device, or eligibility. For important China work, verify the exit and use controlled infrastructure plus a local or primary-source confirmation.
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 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.
What is the difference between HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies?
HTTP forwards plain web requests, while HTTPS-capable HTTP proxies relay TLS with CONNECT. SOCKS4 relays TCP. SOCKS5 can add authentication, remote DNS, and optional UDP support.
How do I get a free proxy from this list?
Choose a recently checked row, copy its IP address and port, and select the matching protocol in your client. For bulk use, download TXT, CSV or JSON, or call the free API. No signup is required.
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.
