Send a plain HTTP request through a selected IP address and port, then verify the exit before using it in an authorized test.
Pass the proxy to cURL with the -x flag and keep the proxy URL on the http:// scheme.
curl -x http://IP:PORT http://example.com
Plain HTTP traffic is not encrypted between your client and the proxy. The operator can read or change that traffic, so never send credentials, personal data, or private payloads through an unknown public relay.
Managed HTTP proxy options

Move plaintext HTTP only when the job needs a managed gateway
Every current Databay product lists HTTP proxying, so the paid decision is the exit network and minimum allowance, not a separate HTTP product. An authenticated paid gateway replaces an unknown public endpoint; it does not encrypt a plaintext request or make sensitive data appropriate for HTTP.
ClientSends a plaintext HTTP request to the configured gateway.
GatewayCan read and relay the request; choose the required network origin.
HTTP targetReceives plaintext application traffic from the selected route.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an HTTP proxy load HTTPS sites?
Some can. The client asks the HTTP proxy to open a CONNECT tunnel to the HTTPS target. Strict means the checker completed that request with certificate validation; Loose required validation to be disabled; None means no HTTPS tunnel completed.
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?
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.
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.
