Step 1 of 5
It starts with 700+ public lists.
Every hour a GitHub Action reads more than 700 public proxy lists. Most of what's in them is dead, duplicated or years old.
Every proxy on this list passed a real handshake, a honeypot check and a content check in the last run. The whole list is checked again every hour.

Measured from GitHub's servers. From your own network some proxies will be faster, some won't answer at all.

How a proxy gets on this list
Step 2 of 5
A real handshake, not just an open port.
Each candidate has to complete a proper HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 handshake and fetch a page. An open port alone proves nothing.
Step 3 of 5
Two sites, one foreign IP.
The proxy has to reach two unrelated sites and show an exit IP that isn't ours on both. Honeypots that fake a response drop out here.
Step 4 of 5
Nothing may be changed on the way.
A static page has to arrive byte for byte. When we measured it, 54 of 270 working proxies slipped a script into the page. None of those make the list.
Step 5 of 5
Then the details.
HTTPS with verified TLS, anonymity, country, provider and whether the exit IP is on a spam blocklist are checked for everything that's left.
– made it.
That's the list above. In an hour it starts over, and anything that stopped working is gone.
Run after run
Free proxies come and go quickly. This is how the list changed over the last runs and where the proxies are right now.
Working proxies per run
One point every hour.

How fast they answered.
Use it your way
Run the same checks on your own machine, start from this list, or just fetch the plain text files.
Scan it yourself
700+ sources, all the checks, filters and a live dashboard in your terminal.
pipx install proxy-scraper-cli proxy-scraper --want 50 --https-only
Recheck from your network
Starts from this list and checks it again from where you are. Takes about 30 seconds, then serves a rotating proxy on port 8899.

One proxy per line, fastest first, updated with every run.
