HTTP setup

Using an HTTP proxy from this list

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.

FAQ

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.
Can an HTTP proxy read my traffic?
The operator can read and modify plain HTTP traffic. A successful CONNECT tunnel keeps the target TLS session encrypted, but it does not make an unknown public operator trustworthy or protect other identifying signals.
How do I configure an HTTP proxy from this list?
Copy a recently checked IP address and port, select HTTP in your client, and enter it as http://IP:PORT. Verify the exit IP and use a short timeout before any non-sensitive test.
How often is the HTTP proxy list updated?
Candidates are checked on a rolling five-minute schedule. Last Checked is the timestamp for an individual row, and public endpoints can fail between sweeps.
Why do free HTTP proxies stop working?
Public endpoints can become overloaded, change configuration, or go offline without notice. Treat each check as a recent observation, not a promise of future availability.
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.
