Databay's free China proxy list is a no-signup list of 241 live HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies with IP addresses registered in China, refreshed every 5 minutes. Each row includes IP, port, protocol, anonymity, uptime, latency, HTTPS support and Google reachability, with TXT, CSV, JSON and API access.
curl "https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list?format=txt&country=CN&limit=5"import requests
proxies = requests.get('https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list?limit=5').json()
print(proxies['data'][0]) # {'ip': ..., 'port': ..., 'country': ...}const res = await fetch('https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list?limit=5');
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data[0]); // { ip, port, country, protocol, ssl, latency_ms, ... }Last verification completed
The free list above churns every 5 minutes and most entries fail within hours. For production scraping in China, Databay operates 663,140+ paid IPs with 99.9%+ uptime, sticky sessions up to 120 minutes, and full HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS5 from a flat $0.55/GB (Flex).
The reason to route through a mainland Chinese exit is simple: reachability from inside China is never a given for a foreign-hosted site. DNS interference, IP blocking, and border throttling mean the web you see from Frankfurt or Virginia is not the web a user in Shanghai sees. A proxy that exits inside the mainland answers "does my site actually load from China, and how fast?" without deploying a server there or dealing with ICP licensing. At the June 2026 snapshot the list carried 114 live mainland proxies (66 plain HTTP, 25 SOCKS4, 23 SOCKS5), with a median response near 3.2 seconds measured through the border. Port 1080 and its variant 10800 dominated, typical SOCKS territory. Practically all consumer access in China runs through three state carriers: China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile. The exit you get will therefore sit somewhere in their address space or in mainland hosting ranges.
The high-value uses are diagnostic. Load your own properties through a mainland exit and compare against a direct fetch: does DNS resolve to the same records, does TLS complete, does your CDN serve from a mainland or Hong Kong node or haul everything trans-Pacific? Beyond that: Baidu result checks (Baidu localizes and personalizes less aggressively than Google but still differs by region), Taobao and JD price displays, and verifying that mainland users can reach your documentation, downloads, or API endpoints. Expect asymmetric behavior: domestic Chinese targets respond quickly through these exits while foreign targets may crawl or fail entirely. That asymmetry is not noise; it is the measurement.

See what proxy users say about Databay's proxy infrastructure.
I tested many proxy providers, and none beat this one on quality and price. The datacenter pool has plenty of proxies and residential works flawlessly - I only use US proxies. Their support is the best I've ever had - their technical knowledge is strong, and they even helped me fix an issue that wasn't caused by their proxies.
Been using Databay for a few weeks and I'm real impressed so far. The mobile proxies tackle even the toughest sites to scrape, and it's priced better than other providers I tested. Support replies fast too for any questions or issues. Databay is an essential part of my tech stack.
Implementing Databay residential proxies was easy for me, thanks to their well-documented API docs. The standout feature was the support team - their quick response and effective assistance helped me resolve issues promptly.
The proxy success rate for scraping blew me away - it's really more than 96%. Databay delivers excellent service quality for business, and the price is much lower than other services. Definitely worth trying their residential proxies.
Being a proxy newbie I needed more help than most users. Their support runs through Discord and it's top-notch. They answer quick and truly seem committed to giving the best experience - usually a reply within a couple of hours. I never once felt like I had to wait.
Talking about prices, it's the ideal and safe choice for work. Quality is top-notch, and I can recommend Databay for its stability and work speed.
Been using Databay for a while now and I've got nothing but good things to say. The proxies run smooth, rarely drop, and setup was pretty easy. All in all, really happy with it and wouldn't hesitate to point others their way.
The dashboard is simple and easy to navigate, though it's missing a few proxy locations - adding more options would definitely make it better. Overall, I'd personally recommend it.
A dependable service for various online tasks. The IP rotates with each request. Would recommend.
Found them while looking for proxies. They're good and easy to use, and the support is nice. A bit slow for Brazil, but overall I recommend them for most uses.
I have to say it pleasantly surprised me. What I like most is that the proxies rotate with every request. The geolocation isn't always perfectly precise, but I tested it with HttpClient and overall the experience has been good.
This page lists 241 live-verified free proxies with IPs registered in China, covering HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 and re-probed every 5 minutes. Each row reports protocol, speed, uptime, Google reachability and anonymity (Elite or Anonymous). Free China proxies suit geo-testing and light scraping; for production reliability see Databay's paid plans linked above. Browse other locations in the country directory, or open the worldwide free proxy list for the full proxy primer and SOCKS5 / HTTP protocol lists.
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 5-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:
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.

Dedicated lists: elite, anonymous and transparent.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.
