What is a free proxy?

A free proxy is a publicly listed server that forwards your web requests through a different IP address. They're useful for learning, testing scraping logic, and small projects where reliability isn't critical.

Unlike paid residential proxies, free proxies typically have 15-30% success rates, 12-48 hour lifespans, and unknown operators. The list above aggregates 3+ public sources every 15 minutes — but we don't fabricate uptime numbers when sources don't publish them.

How to use these proxies

Python (requests)

import requests
proxies = {
  "http":  "http://1.2.3.4:8080",
  "https": "http://1.2.3.4:8080",
}
r = requests.get(
  "https://httpbin.org/ip",
  proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
print(r.text)

cURL

curl -x http://1.2.3.4:8080 \
  --max-time 10 \
  https://httpbin.org/ip

# SOCKS5
curl --socks5 1.2.3.4:1080 \
  https://httpbin.org/ip

Node.js (axios)

import axios from 'axios'
const r = await axios.get(
  'https://httpbin.org/ip',
  {
    proxy: {
      host: '1.2.3.4',
      port: 8080,
      protocol: 'http'
    },
    timeout: 10000
  })
console.log(r.data)

Risks of using free proxies

Free proxies are operated by anonymous third parties. That introduces real risks:

  • Man-in-the-middle attacks: Operators can inspect or modify HTTP traffic, and some inject ads or strip TLS.
  • Short lifespans: Most nodes die within 12-48 hours. By the time you build retry logic, half the list is dead.
  • Shared IPs: The IP is also being abused by hundreds of others — many targets already block them.
  • Terms of service: Using proxies against a site's ToS can result in account bans or legal exposure.

For anything beyond learning, use audited residential proxies with known operators — Scrappey rotates clean IPs with proper authentication and SLAs.

FAQ

What is a free proxy?

A free proxy is a publicly available server that routes your HTTP or SOCKS traffic through a different IP address. They are operated by third parties (often anonymously), free to use, but slow and unreliable compared to paid residential proxies.

How often is this list updated?

We refresh from public sources every 15 minutes. Each request to this page may serve a cached snapshot up to 15 minutes old, with a background refresh on expiry.

Are these proxies safe to use?

No, not for sensitive traffic. Free proxy operators can read, log, or modify any HTTP request that passes through them. Never send credentials, payment data, or personal information through a free proxy. HTTPS protects content from MITM but not metadata.

Why are some proxies marked "likely dead"?

A proxy is flagged "likely dead" when its last-checked timestamp is over an hour old, or when a source reports its uptime below 50%. They're kept in the list for transparency but you should expect connection failures.

Do you have residential proxies?

Yes — Scrappey rotates millions of clean residential IPs across 195+ countries with authenticated endpoints and an SLA. Free credits available with no credit card. See /features/residential-proxies.
