API access
Integrate our proxy list into your stack
Pull the same live list programmatically - JSON by default, filterable by country, protocol, and timeout.
Basic usage
# Get all proxies
curl https://free.redscrape.com/api/proxiesWith filters
# Filtered request
curl "https://free.redscrape.com/api/proxies?country=US&protocol=http&max_timeout=1000&format=json"About this list
What a free proxy list actually gives you
A proxy sits between your client and the site you are calling: your request goes to the proxy, the proxy forwards it, and the target sees the proxy’s IP address instead of yours. That single indirection is why proxies show up in web scraping, price monitoring, ad verification, SEO rank tracking and any workflow that needs to look like it is coming from somewhere else.
This page publishes public proxy servers that responded to a health check - IP address, port, protocol, country, measured latency and when the entry was last verified. It is free, it needs no account, and it is genuinely useful for testing an integration, learning how proxy authentication works, or checking how a page renders from another country.
It is also, honestly, not infrastructure. Nobody operates these servers on your behalf. Entries appear and disappear, latency swings wildly, and the IP ranges are already known to every anti-bot vendor worth naming. Use the list to experiment; use a residential, datacenter or mobile pool when the result has to be repeatable.
How to use it
From directory to working request
Four steps that keep a free list useful instead of frustrating.
Filter to what you need
Narrow the list by country, protocol and maximum timeout. Filters hit the API, so you get a fresh result set rather than a client-side slice of stale data.
Sort by latency
"Fastest first" puts the lowest measured timeout on top. It is the quickest way to find the handful of entries worth actually trying out of hundreds.
Export the set
Copy every filtered row to the clipboard, or download TXT for scrapers and proxy managers and JSON when you want the country, protocol and timeout metadata as well.
Verify before you rely on it
Run your own check against the target site with a short timeout and retries. Assume a meaningful share of any free list is already dead by the time you use it.
Reading the table
What every column tells you
Proxy
The IP address and port to connect to. Feed it to your client as IP:PORT, or as scheme://IP:PORT when the tool expects a URL.
Country
Where the exit IP geolocates. Useful for reaching region-locked content, though free entries rarely offer city-level accuracy.
Protocol
HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5. Match it to what your client supports - pointing an HTTP client at a SOCKS port simply fails to connect.
Timeout
Round-trip time from the last successful check. Lower is better, but treat it as an upper bound on quality rather than a promise.
Last checked
How long ago the entry answered a probe. Anything older than a few minutes is worth revalidating before a batch job.
Copy
The last column copies that single IP:PORT pair to your clipboard, ready to paste into a client or config file. Use Copy all above the table when you want every filtered row instead of one.
Known limits
Where free proxies fall apart
None of this is a reason to avoid the list. It is a reason not to build a business on it.
Shared bandwidth
Everybody reading this page can use the same endpoints at the same time. Throughput is whatever is left over, and it changes minute to minute.
Burned reputation
Public proxy ranges sit on commercial blocklists. Cloudflare, Akamai and DataDome recognise them, so captcha and 403 rates are high before you send a single request.
No session control
There is no sticky session and no rotation policy. Multi-step flows that need the same IP across requests are unreliable by design.
No support or SLA
Nothing is guaranteed, nothing is refundable, and there is nobody to ask when an endpoint disappears in the middle of a job.
Free vs premium
An honest side-by-side
| Free public proxies | RedScrape premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime | Minutes to hours, no guarantee | Monitored pools with replacement IPs |
| Speed | Highly variable, often seconds | Consistent low latency |
| IP reputation | Widely blocklisted | Clean residential and datacenter ranges |
| Authentication | None - open to everyone | Credentials or IP whitelisting |
| Sticky sessions | Not available | Configurable session duration |
| Geo targeting | Country, approximate | Country and city level |
| Support | None | Ticketing with engineers on call |
| Best for | Testing, learning, throwaway checks | Production scraping and automation |
FAQ
Questions about free proxies
What is a free proxy list?
A free proxy list is a directory of publicly reachable proxy servers that anyone can route traffic through without registering or paying. The entries on this page are collected from open sources, checked for a response, and published with their IP address, port, protocol, country and last measured latency. Because nobody owns the relationship with these servers, availability changes by the hour - a free list is a snapshot, not a stable pool.
How often is the free proxy list updated?
The directory is rechecked continuously and this page revalidates every 60 seconds, so the table you see is at most a minute behind the checker. Each row carries a "last checked" timestamp so you can judge for yourself how fresh an entry is. Proxies that stop responding drop out on the next pass, which is why the total count moves up and down during the day.
Are free proxies safe to use?
Treat them as untrusted infrastructure. You do not know who runs a public proxy, and an operator can log every request, inject content into plain HTTP responses, or throttle traffic at will. Never send logins, payment details, personal data or anything you would not post publicly through a free proxy. Stick to HTTPS so the payload stays encrypted end to end, and use paid proxies for anything that touches an account.
What is the difference between HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies?
HTTP proxies understand web requests and can read or rewrite unencrypted traffic. HTTPS (CONNECT) proxies open a tunnel and pass encrypted bytes through without seeing them. SOCKS4 works at a lower level and forwards any TCP connection, but has no authentication or IPv6 support. SOCKS5 adds authentication, UDP and IPv6, which is why tools that need more than plain web traffic usually ask for it.
Why do free proxies stop working so quickly?
Most public proxies are misconfigured servers or short-lived test boxes, and they are shared by thousands of people at once. The bandwidth gets saturated, the host gets rate limited or blacklisted, or the owner notices and closes the port. A proxy that answered a check ten minutes ago can be dead now, so any workflow built on a free list needs retries and a health check of its own.
Can I use free proxies for web scraping?
For learning, prototyping and one-off checks, yes. For anything with a deadline, no. Public proxy IPs are already flagged by most anti-bot vendors, so success rates are low and inconsistent, latency swings from a few hundred milliseconds to several seconds, and sessions break mid-request. Production scraping needs clean IPs, sticky sessions and predictable throughput, which is what a paid residential or datacenter pool provides.
How do I test whether a proxy works?
Send a request to an IP echo service through the proxy and confirm the address that comes back is the proxy, not yours. With curl that is curl -x http://IP:PORT https://api.ipify.org. Add a timeout so dead entries fail fast, then test against the actual site you care about - a proxy that reaches an echo service can still be blocked by your target.
Do I need to authenticate to use these proxies?
No. Every entry in this directory is an open proxy, so there is no username or password. That is also the core weakness: the same endpoint is open to everyone who finds it. Paid proxies use either credentials or IP whitelisting, which is what keeps your bandwidth and reputation separate from everyone else on the network.
Is using a free proxy legal?
Routing your own traffic through an open proxy is not illegal in most jurisdictions, but what you do through it still is your responsibility, and connecting to a server the owner did not intend to expose can breach local computer misuse rules. Scraping also has to respect the target site terms, robots directives and data protection law. If a project matters commercially, use proxies you have a contract for.
How many free proxies can I export at once?
There is no cap. Filter the table by country, protocol and maximum timeout, then use Copy all, Export TXT or Export JSON to take the entire filtered set - not just the visible page. Sorting applies to the export too, so choosing "Fastest first" gives you a file that is already ordered by latency.
Outgrown the free list?
