Developer Examples
Use the first HTTP proxy with curl
proxy="$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyzs996/free-proxy-health-list/main/proxies/protocols/http/data.txt | head -n 1)" curl -x "http://$proxy" -I "http://example.com/" --max-time 10
Need Production Reliability?
The public repository is a free snapshot with no SLA. The planned Pro API is for fresher checks, filtering, rotation endpoints and usage monitoring.
- Filter by protocol, latency and quality score.
- Use a rotation endpoint instead of static files.
- Monitor usage and failures.
Browse By Protocol
Each protocol has its own page with download links, code examples and a live count.
Browse By Quality
Curated subsets of the list for specific needs.
Browse By Country
Proxies geolocated to a specific country, filtered live from the latest snapshot.
Guides By Use Case
Copy-paste guides for the most common ways developers use a free proxy list.
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. They are meant 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 on an hourly cadence. Each JSON record carries a lastChecked timestamp and a latencyMs value so you can filter out stale or slow entries.
Do I need to sign up or star the repo?
No. The list is a fully public snapshot on stable public links, with no account and no credit card. A star just helps other developers find it.
Which proxy type should I use?
HTTP proxies are 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.
Public Snapshot Boundary
Public proxies are unstable and should not be used for sensitive traffic. Use this dataset responsibly, follow website policies, and do not use it for spam, abuse or bypassing access controls.
