Aggregate thousands of free public HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies from 11 reliable sources in a single run. Get a deduplicated proxy list ready for use in your scrapers, bots, or privacy tools.

Features

  • ~9,000–12,000 unique proxies per run — aggregated from 11 curated sources
  • All proxy types supported — HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5
  • Auto-deduplicated — same host:port never appears twice even if in multiple sources
  • Parallel fetching — all sources queried concurrently for fast runs
  • Fresh daily — sources are community-maintained GitHub repos that update continuously
  • No proxy or auth needed — works directly from datacenter IPs

FAQ

Q: Are these proxies working / valid? No — this scraper aggregates raw proxy lists without validation. You should validate proxies yourself before using them (e.g., by sending a test request via each proxy). Most free proxies have a high failure rate.

Q: How often are the lists updated? The GitHub sources (TheSpeedX, ShiftyTR, clarketm) are community-maintained and update hourly to daily. Each run fetches the latest data.

Q: Are these proxies safe to use? Free public proxies come with no guarantees of privacy, security, or availability. Do not send sensitive data through them. For production use cases, consider paid proxy services.

Q: Why are my results fewer than 7,500? Sources occasionally overlap (same proxy in multiple lists). Deduplication reduces the raw total. If you set types to only some types, the count will drop further.

Q: Can I filter by country? Not in this version. The raw sources don't include country information reliably across all lists.

Use Cases

  • Scraper rotation — feed into your web scrapers as a free proxy pool
  • Privacy testing — test how your app handles different proxy types
  • Bot networks — rotate IPs for crawlers, monitors, or automation
  • Security research — analyze free proxy infrastructure

Limitations

  • No validation — raw lists only, you must test proxies yourself
  • No country data — not all sources provide it
  • Quality varies — free proxies have high failure rates; expect 5–20% working at any time
