Safety: Public free proxies are third-party endpoints and can fail, log traffic, or disappear without notice. Use them for testing and low-risk scraping only; do not send passwords, payment details, private cookies, or personal data through a free proxy. Not sure an entry is still live? Test any proxy with our free proxy checker before you rely on it.

Summary 1,150 proxies · 96 countries · verified every 5 min
Live-verified free SOCKS4 proxy list. 1,150 SOCKS4 proxies across 96 countries, re-probed on a rolling 5-minute window. SOCKS4 is a lightweight TCP-only tunnel without authentication or UDP support, useful when a client cannot speak SOCKS5 but you still need a transport-layer (not application-layer) proxy. Every entry includes latency, lifetime uptime and Google reachability. Download as JSON, CSV, or plain text TXT no signup required. For modern clients prefer the SOCKS5 list.

Reviews
Trusted by Developers Worldwide
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.
Laura Haag
Been using Databay for a few weeks
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.
Brian Cruz
API integration
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.
M. Koch
Excellent success rate
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.
O. Gardner
5-star support
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.
Beryl Hughes
Good service so far
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.
G. Brenner
Good experience
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.
Harrison
Simple dashboard
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.
Daniel
Good for account creation
A dependable service for various online tasks. The IP rotates with each request. Would recommend.
Andrei Dyachenko
Good and easy to use
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.
Arnau Blasco
Proxy service
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.

Overview
About This SOCKS4 Proxy List
This page lists 1,150 live-verified free SOCKS4 proxies across 96 countries, re-probed every 5 minutes. SOCKS4 is a lightweight TCP-only tunnel with no authentication or UDP support, useful for legacy clients or simple TCP forwarding when SOCKS5 is unavailable. Each row shows speed, uptime, Google reachability and anonymity (Elite or Anonymous). For modern clients prefer the SOCKS5 list. See also the HTTP and HTTPS lists, or the full free proxy list.
Methodology
How We Verify These Proxies
An open look at how Databay discovers, probes and scores every entry in this list.
Maintained by the Databay Research Team. Verified by an automated probe pipeline. Last pipeline run .
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:
Speed is the median latency in milliseconds of the last successful request. We bucket it into Fast (<500 ms), Medium (<1500 ms) and Slow.
Uptime is the percentage of successful probes across the full lifetime of each IP:port pair. Entries with consistent failures are removed, not merely hidden.
Google-passed means the proxy successfully completed a probe against google.com without receiving a block page or CAPTCHA. A large share of free proxies are permanently blacklisted by Google.
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.
FAQ
Free Proxy List - Common Questions
What is a free proxy list?
A free proxy list is a directory of publicly available proxy server IP addresses and ports. These proxies are open to use by anyone and are tested regularly for uptime, speed, and protocol compatibility. Our list supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies and is updated every 5 minutes.
Are free proxies safe to use?
Free proxies provide basic IP masking but come with risks. They are shared among many users, may log your traffic, and lack the security guarantees of commercial services. For sensitive tasks, consider our premium residential proxies which offer dedicated, encrypted connections with no logging. Learn more: Are Free Proxies Safe?
How often is this list updated?
Our free proxy list is verified and refreshed automatically every 5 minutes. Each proxy is tested for responsiveness, latency, and SSL support. Proxies that fail uptime checks are removed and replaced. The "Updated" column in the table shows the exact time each proxy was last verified. Learn more: Our free proxy list methodology.
What is the difference between HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies?
HTTP proxies handle standard web traffic. HTTPS proxies add SSL/TLS encryption for secure connections. SOCKS4 is a lightweight TCP-only tunnel without authentication or UDP support, useful for legacy clients or simple TCP forwarding. SOCKS5 proxies are the most versatile - they work at a lower level and support any TCP/UDP traffic, authentication, IPv6, and remote DNS, not just web browsing. For web scraping, HTTP and HTTPS are the simplest to use, for non-HTTP traffic prefer SOCKS5 over SOCKS4.
What do Elite, Anonymous, and Transparent mean?
These are anonymity levels that describe how much information a proxy reveals about you. Elite (also called high anonymity) proxies completely hide your real IP and do not reveal that you are using a proxy at all. Anonymous proxies hide your IP address but websites can detect you are using a proxy via HTTP headers like Via or X-Forwarded-For. Transparent proxies forward your real IP address to the destination server, they provide no anonymity and are mainly used for caching. Dedicated lists: elite, anonymous and transparent.
How do I use a proxy from this list?
Copy the IP:Port using the copy button next to any proxy in the table. For cURL, run 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. Full setup walkthroughs: How to use a free proxy (cURL, Python, Node.js, Scrapy, Playwright).
What does the SSL column mean?
The SSL column indicates whether the proxy can access HTTPS websites (sites starting with https://). This is about the destination site, not the proxy connection itself. A proxy marked with a checkmark can tunnel encrypted traffic to HTTPS sites. A proxy marked with a lock icon works with HTTPS but requires you to disable SSL verification in your client (verify=False in Python, -k in cURL). A cross means the proxy only works with plain HTTP sites.
Do you offer a free API?
Yes. Our free proxy list API is available at https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list. It supports filtering by protocol, country, speed, and Google compatibility. Output formats include JSON, CSV, and plain text. The API is rate limited to 60 requests per minute per IP with 10-second caching. See the API documentation section below for details. Prefer a static file? Hotlink https://databay.com/free-proxy-list/socks4.txt - full list as plain text, refreshed every 5 minutes, no key, CORS-open.
Why should I upgrade to premium proxies?
Databay's premium proxies offer 34M+ dedicated IPs across 200+ countries with 99.9%+ uptime, rotating and sticky sessions, geo-targeting by country/city, and 24/7 support. Free proxies are unreliable for production use - they are frequently offline, slow, and shared with unknown users. For any serious automation or scraping workload, premium proxies are the right tool.
