FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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. The primary pool uses checks from the past six hours; a 24-hour fallback applies only when fewer than 50 endpoints qualify.

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.
