Free Proxy List: Browse HTTP Proxies Online

A free proxy list is a table of public proxy servers, each with an IP address and port you can enter in a browser or script. This free proxy list tool shows HTTP proxies with country, anonymity level and HTTPS support, lets you search and filter them, and exports the visible rows as a plain text file.

What Is a Proxy List and How Does a Proxy Server Work?

A proxy list is a collection of proxy server addresses written as an IP address plus a port, such as 203.0.113.10:8080. A proxy server sits between your device and a website: your request goes to the proxy first, and the proxy forwards it, so the site sees the proxy's IP address instead of yours.

People look for proxies for many reasons: testing how a page looks from another country, checking geo-targeted content, running network experiments, or adding a layer of separation between their device and a site. A proxy is not the same as a VPN. A proxy usually handles traffic only for the app or browser you configure, while a VPN typically encrypts all traffic from the device.

What the list shows

Every row in this list gives you six pieces of information: IP address, port, country, anonymity type, HTTPS support and a response field. The list is made up of provider-listed HTTP proxies, so it is a starting point for your own testing, not a guarantee that any single address works.

How to Use the Free Proxy List

You can browse, filter and export proxies in under a minute. Follow these steps:

1. Open the page and read the summary counts at the top: Total Proxies, Elite, Anonymous and Transparent. They show how the current batch is split by anonymity level.
2. Type a country name, an IP fragment or a port into the Search by IP, country... box. The table narrows as you type.
3. Open the type dropdown and pick Elite, Anonymous or Transparent. Leave it on All Types to see everything.
4. Check the HTTPS column. Choose rows marked Yes if you plan to open secure (https) sites.
5. Click Export to download the visible rows as a text file. Each line holds one proxy in the format IP:port.
6. Click Refresh to reload the page and pull a fresh batch from the provider's list.

If your filters hide every row, the counter changes to "No proxies match the current filters." Clear the search box or switch back to All Types. If you click Export with nothing visible, you get a "No proxies to export" message.

Worked Example: Finding Elite Proxies in One Country

Say you want to test how a page looks to a visitor in Germany, and you do not want the site to see a forwarded-for header. Type Germany in the search box, then set the dropdown to Elite.

The table now shows only German rows with an elite anonymity label. Suppose three rows remain, including one like 203.0.113.10 on port 8080 with HTTPS marked Yes. The counter reads "Showing 3 proxies." Click Export and you get a file named with today's date (day, month, year) followed by -proxy.txt, containing three lines:

• 203.0.113.10:8080
• 203.0.113.22:3128
• 203.0.113.57:80

Those addresses are documentation examples, but the pattern is what you will see. Enter the first line in your browser's proxy settings (host and port), reload a page, and confirm your visible IP changed. If it times out, move to the next line. That trial-and-error loop is normal with public proxies.

How to Read the Results and What to Do Next

Each column tells you something specific, and a few of them need careful reading. Here is what to look for.

Anonymity type

The type column describes how much the proxy reveals about you. These levels follow a widely used convention:

For privacy-minded testing, elite is the strongest label. Transparent proxies pass your real IP along, so they are fine for checking regional content or caching behavior but not for hiding who you are.

HTTPS column

Yes means the listing says the proxy can handle secure connections. No means you should expect plain http traffic only. If a site you need loads over https, filter your export down to Yes rows first.

Response column

The Response column reads "Not measured." This tool does not time proxies, and the provider's check times are not available. Do not treat the list as ranked by speed. Test each address yourself and keep the ones that answer quickly.

Country

The country is the location the listing reports for the proxy's IP. Sites that use IP geolocation will generally treat you as being there, though databases can disagree. If you need to confirm where an address really sits, run it through a bulk IP lookup to compare geolocation and ISP details.

Who Uses a Free Proxy List?

A free proxy list is useful when you need a quick set of addresses to try, not a managed service. Typical situations include:

• Developers and testers who want to see how an app or API behaves when requests arrive from different IPs or countries.
• SEO and marketing teams checking how a landing page, redirect or geo-targeted block renders for visitors abroad.
• Network learners practicing proxy configuration in a browser, command line or script.
• Researchers comparing how a site responds to transparent, anonymous and elite connections.

If you only need to understand where a domain is hosted rather than route traffic, a domain to IP lookup answers that faster. And if you want to know which network owns a proxy's address, an ASN lookup shows the organization and routing details.

Best Practices and Common Mistakes

Public proxies are shared, unmanaged and short-lived, so a careful routine saves time and avoids risk.

• Never log in through a free proxy. The operator can see unencrypted traffic. Avoid passwords, banking, email and anything personal.
• Test before you rely. Open a simple page through the proxy, then confirm your public IP changed. Discard anything that stalls.
• Export fresh, not old. Public proxies drop offline quickly. A file from last week will contain many dead entries, so click Refresh and export again.
• Match the port and format. Enter the IP in the host field and the port in the port field. Pasting 203.0.113.10:8080 into the host field alone is a common reason for connection errors.
• Use HTTPS rows for secure sites. A proxy marked No may fail or show certificate errors on https pages.
• Check your school or workplace rules. If you are searching for a proxy list for school, remember that networks often block proxies and that bypassing filters may break an acceptable-use policy.

Troubleshooting a proxy that will not connect

If a proxy times out, it is probably offline, overloaded or blocking your request. Try another row rather than retrying the same one. If every proxy fails, check that your browser proxy settings are saved and that your network allows outbound connections on that port. For DNS-level problems, a DNS lookup can confirm the target domain resolves correctly.

Limitations You Should Know About

This page lists addresses; it does not verify them. The notice on the tool says it plainly: availability and check times are unverified, and a listing does not confirm that a proxy is safe or even online.

• The list contains HTTP proxies. It is not a SOCKS5 proxy list, so searches for SOCKS5 need a different source.
• Only a limited batch is shown at a time, and it changes when you refresh.
• Response times are not measured here, so you cannot sort by speed.
• The anonymity label and country come from the provider's data and may be out of date.

For anything sensitive or business-critical, a managed, paid proxy or VPN is the safer route.

Use the free proxy list above to search by country, filter by anonymity level and export a clean IP:port file in seconds. Test each address before relying on it, and explore more utilities in the Network and IP tools hub when you need to look deeper at an address.
