A live Databay API snapshot captured 2026-07-19T13:36:13.201Z returned 29 unique endpoints labelled for South Africa. The retrieved South Africa rows were 15 HTTP (52%), 13 SOCKS4 (45%), 1 SOCKS5 (3%). South Africa checker header classifications were 15 ELITE (52%), 14 TRANSPARENT (48%), with a median checker latency of 3,220 ms and a mean reported uptime of 62.4%. The newest South Africa row-level check in this capture was 2026-07-19T13:32:33Z; the oldest was 2026-07-19T08:04:15Z. These South Africa observations come from a volatile public-relay list and do not promise that the same endpoints will remain reachable. In the South Africa rows, “elite”, “anonymous”, SSL, Google, latency, and uptime are fields reported by the checker for particular probes; they do not prove operator identity, permission, security, residential origin, city accuracy, or suitability for sensitive traffic. Re-query the live South Africa endpoint before every authorized test, validate the exit independently, and never send credentials, personal data, production cookies, or confidential payloads through an unknown relay.

More on South Africa proxies

South Africa is multilingual and regionally varied. Record language, rand display, province, postcode, delivery, account, and device state instead of assuming a country IP represents a particular household or audience. Use a South Africa-geolocated public proxy only as one disposable country-level network-origin sample for an authorized localization, catalog, advertising, search, accessibility, or delivery-message check. For the South Africa comparison, hold the destination URL, timestamp, account, cookies, browser, language, currency, address, and experiment steps constant, then compare with a direct or controlled reference. Stop the South Africa test when the source blocks, challenges, rate-limits, or disallows the workflow. Confirm any consequential South Africa finding through an official API, licensed feed, controlled paid exit, local reviewer, or the source itself before making a product, compliance, pricing, or enforcement decision.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What did the South Africa proxy API return in this snapshot?
The South Africa capture retrieved 29 unique IP:port endpoints from the country-filtered Databay API. South Africa protocol labels were 15 HTTP (52%), 13 SOCKS4 (45%), 1 SOCKS5 (3%); header classifications were 15 ELITE (52%), 14 TRANSPARENT (48%). The South Africa sample had a median checker latency of 3,220 ms and a mean reported uptime of 62.4%. These South Africa figures are a dated observation, not a live inventory guarantee; use https://databay.com/api/v1/proxy-list?country=ZA for the current result.
Does a South Africa proxy prove a local user or precise location?
No. The South Africa label is a geolocation observation about an exit address and may be stale or wrong. A South Africa label does not establish a household, operator, consent, city, language, account, delivery address, tax state, device, or eligibility. For important South Africa work, verify the exit and use controlled infrastructure plus a local or primary-source confirmation.
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.
