Free Proxy List

A free proxy server is a publicly available intermediary server that routes your internet traffic through a different IP address at no cost. Free proxies are typically scraped from the internet and are maintained by volunteers, organizations, or left open unintentionally. They allow you to mask your real IP address, bypass geographic restrictions, and access content from different locations around the world.

Our free proxy list is automatically refreshed every 30 minutes. Each proxy is tested for connectivity, speed, anonymity level, and whether it passes Google verification. Proxies that go offline are removed, and newly discovered working proxies are added continuously.

Elite (HIA) proxies provide the highest anonymity — they hide your IP and do not reveal that you are using a proxy. Anonymous (ANM) proxies hide your real IP but may reveal to the destination server that a proxy is being used. Transparent (NOA) proxies pass your real IP address in the headers, providing no anonymity but still useful for caching and content filtering.

HTTP proxies handle only web traffic (HTTP protocol). HTTPS proxies support encrypted SSL/TLS connections. SOCKS4 proxies work at a lower level and support TCP connections but lack authentication. SOCKS5 proxies are the most versatile — they support TCP and UDP traffic, authentication, and IPv6, making them ideal for any application including torrenting, gaming, and streaming.

Free proxies carry significant risks. Since anyone can set up a free proxy, some may be operated by malicious actors who log your traffic, inject ads, or steal credentials. Free proxies also lack encryption in most cases, have unreliable uptime, and offer slow speeds due to overuse. For anything involving sensitive data, login credentials, or business operations, paid proxies from trusted providers like SpyderProxy are strongly recommended.

Paid proxies offer 99.9% uptime vs under 30% for free proxies, dedicated bandwidth with speeds 10-100x faster, guaranteed anonymity with no logging, encrypted connections, 24/7 customer support, and vastly larger IP pools. SpyderProxy offers 130M+ residential IPs across 195 countries. Free proxies are fine for learning and casual browsing, but any serious use case — web scraping, SEO monitoring, market research, ad verification — requires paid proxies.

Technically yes, but free proxies are extremely unreliable for scraping. Most have very slow speeds, high failure rates, and are already banned by major websites. For production scraping, you need rotating residential proxies that provide fresh IPs with each request. SpyderProxy's residential proxies start at $1.75/GB with automatic rotation across 130M+ IPs.

The Google column indicates whether the proxy can successfully access Google search without being blocked. Proxies that pass the Google test are less likely to be flagged as suspicious by other websites. This is a good indicator of proxy quality — if Google trusts it, most other sites will too.

Copy the IP:Port combination using the copy button. Then configure it in your browser settings (Settings > Network > Proxy), your application code (e.g., Python requests library), or your proxy management tool. For SOCKS proxies, ensure your application supports the SOCKS protocol. You can verify a proxy works before using it with our free Proxy Checker tool.

Free proxies are inherently unstable. They stop working when the server operator shuts them down, when they get overloaded by too many users, when target websites detect and block them, or when ISPs terminate the connection. The average lifespan of a free proxy is measured in hours, not days. That is why our list is refreshed every 30 minutes.
