Frequently asked questions
Are these free proxies safe to use?
Free public proxies are shared and run by unknown operators, so never send passwords, tokens or personal data through them. Use them for testing, scraping public pages and automation — not sensitive traffic.
How often is the proxy list updated?
Every proxy is re-checked and the list republished every 30 minutes. Each JSON record carries a lastChecked timestamp and a latency value so you can drop stale or slow entries yourself.
What does 'verified' actually mean here?
Each entry completed a protocol-correct handshake and relayed a real request end to end before publication. Entries that only answered a TCP connect are not published.
Why do some proxies stop working within minutes?
Free proxies are volatile by nature — they appear and disappear constantly. That is exactly why the list is re-checked every 30 minutes and sorted fastest-first. Always loop to the next entry on failure.
Which proxy type should I use?
HTTP is simplest for web requests. SOCKS5 handles any TCP traffic plus UDP and remote DNS. SOCKS4 is a lighter legacy fallback. HTTPS entries are HTTP proxies verified to tunnel TLS.
Do I need to sign up or star the repository?
No. The list is a fully public snapshot on stable URLs, with no account and no credit card. A star just helps other developers find it.
Need production reliability?
The GitHub list is a free public snapshot with no SLA. The Pro API adds fresher checks, filtering by protocol, country and latency, a rotating endpoint and usage monitoring.
