List of free proxy servers

If you are looking for a VPN, you have probably come across various proxy servers before. ... Both VPNs and proxies "change" where you connect to the Internet. However, they do it in completely different ways, and also provide different levels of privacy, data encryption, and user anonymity.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your computer (smartphone, tablet, etc.) and the Internet. Like a VPN, a proxy service changes yours. Let's say, for example, you are traveling abroad and want to watch a live broadcast on your favorite Russian channel, which restricts access to videos based on geo. You can use a proxy server to fake a Russian IP address and access this content. In this situation, you are almost not at risk, you do not need any encryption. Another example: you went to a site through the server of the zone where the air ticket price is lower (yes, airlines really sell tickets to someone for less than you). It is also important to know that proxy services are installed for each application separately, and not on the entire software of the computer at the same time... This means that you need to set up the torrent client and web browser separately to connect to the proxy server. While VPN encrypts all applications that work with the Internet during the installation process, that is, it works with all software on the computer.

Proxies DO NOT ENCRYPT your internet connection... Such a service can mask your real IP address, but all information that you send / receive through such a connection is not anonymized, i.e. such a server does not have built-in protections for user privacy. Therefore, a proxy server is not the most The best decision, for example, for those who are trying to protect their personal information and are connected at the same time to WiFi networks... Plus, when a user encounters Flash or Java scripts, their real IP address is easy to recognize. Do not forget that many proxy IP addresses that are commonly used are already “compromised” on many websites and blocked.

There are two different types proxy protocols: HTTP and SOCKS.

HTTP proxies

The oldest of the two types of proxies (HTTP) only handle network traffic. To use an HTTP proxy, you need to specify it in your web browser settings (or find a browser extension if it does not natively support proxy servers), and then all your network traffic will go through a remote proxy server. If you are using a proxy server when working with confidential information(finance or emails), you need to do this through an SSL activated browser and connect to sites that support SSL encryption. As stated above, proxies do not encrypt data, which is why you need to do all of this.

SOCKS proxy servers

SOCKS proxies are an extension of the HTTP proxy system that can handle any type of traffic that passes through it, so it is useful not only when working with web resources, but also for applications such as torrents. SOCKS is unfortunately slower than HTTP, and this is especially noticeable if you download torrent files.

One last thing worth noting - not all proxies are as efficient as VPNs... There are quite a few free proxy services out there that can benefit you, but our experience shows that when it comes to protecting your personal information, you have to pay extra for it... Free proxy servers (like VPNs) are free for a reason: they usually have a short period of effective work, they are clogged with ads and do not protect well from intruders. Sometimes they are run by hackers who want to steal your personal information (for example, if you enter your bank card and they are right there).

These VPN services also provide proxy services. Whether it's included in the VPN package or as a separate plan, below are the best proxies you can find:

A place	ISP	Price	Our rating	User rating
		$ 2.99 / month	5.0		To begin "
2		$ 6.67 / month	4.9		To begin "
3		$ 2.75 / month	4.8		To begin "
4		$ 1.89 / month	4.7		To begin "
5		$ 2.99 / month	4.7		To begin "

Nord does not offer a separate subscription for accessing proxy servers. The VPN subscription already includes access to 3,000 private HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy servers located around the world. The service website has a search function that can be used to find desired proxy server and set preferences for every application you may have (, Firefox, Torrent, etc.). In addition, if you encounter any difficulties, you can contact the support service, which is open all year round 24/7. It is also important to note that if you decide to buy a subscription to Nord, this VPN service can be used anywhere as it provides top-notch protection, while using a proxy server alone gives attackers the opportunity to steal your data.

As with Nord, working with IPVanish will give you access to their private proxy servers by paying for a subscription to all of their services. However, unlike the Nord service, they only work with SOCKS5 proxies, so you will be able to work with Bittorent clients like Deluge and Utorrent, but not web browsers. This is a great option for Torrent clients, as you can use proxy servers to work with them and at the same time use the IPVanish VPN service to work with other applications. This is a plus because proxy servers are faster than VPNs (due to the fact that they do not encrypt data in the process; however, working with torrent files through a proxy is relatively safe).

Unlike NordVPN and IPVanish, TorGuard has a separate proxy subscription that you can get in addition to your VPN subscription. You can even buy both subscriptions for a slightly higher price (a little more expensive than just a VPN subscription). Torguard has many proxy servers, 2000 IP addresses in over 50 countries, SOCKS5 servers in 8 countries, and you can connect up to 5 devices at the same time.

We really like the PIA service because it provides very good services at a very attractive price. Like the first two on our list, PIA VPN subscriptions include access to their proxy servers. Like IPVanish, only SOCKS5 proxies are available here, so you will only be able to work with torrent clients, not web browsers. Now, unfortunately, the PIA service does not have user support in the form of chat (which is definitely a drawback), but they have good level customer support, and respond quickly enough if you have any problems.

Overplay is a service where you can take advantage of VPN and SmartDNS technologies. The SmartDNS proxy server is primarily needed so that users can access content that is blocked in certain countries. However, it can also be used for simple web browsing. A VPN service can give you this access too, but it's better to use SmartDNS as the connection is faster due to the lack of encryption. We are not happy that the data is not encrypted, but the Overplay service provides access to secure DNS servers through which the connection is made. If you need access to proxy servers to view content that is only available in certain territories (for example, Netflix, Kodi, Hulu, etc.), we advise you to try Overplay.

Currently, the issue of censorship and anonymity of users both in any media and on the Internet in general has become quite acute in Russia. Politicians want to control everyone and always. So, if you speak out against the authorities on forums, blogs, comments, then you can be found by your IP address. Using loud words (such as extremism or terrorism), officials are increasingly tightening censorship. And ordinary citizens suffer from this. But there are still ways to protect your anonymity and freedom of speech from the encroachments of officials, one of them is proxy servers.

What is a proxy

A proxy server is remote computer, a kind of intermediary between the subscriber and the Internet. If you connect to the network through a proxy, then all your requests and responses to them go through the proxy server, where data is cached.

All computers connected to the Internet are assigned a unique IP address. It is through the IP addresses that all site ratings, counters, statistics, etc. work. After all, you can get information about how many unique users access the Web from a particular region, city, what information they are looking for, where a particular computer is located, and much more. That is why many Internet users today talk about anonymity, looking for ways to protect their personal information. One way to do this is to connect using a proxy server.

What are proxies for?

Proxy servers are used to:

connect computers local network to the Internet;
connect to Internet resources anonymously - some proxies partially hide information about the user, others completely hide data, others distort information, provide false data;
to bypass access restrictions - in some cases, the user is banned on a specific resource - he can enter the site or unsubscribe using a proxy server, because they are usually banned by their IP address. In some countries, users are legally imposed restrictions, so they can freely surf the Internet only through a proxy. There are also other restrictions that can be circumvented by using a proxy server;
reduce traffic consumption - when connecting through a proxy, data is cached, so the user downloads information (movies, software, music, even just goes to sites) not from the Internet, but from the cache. Therefore, no traffic is consumed. It's like downloading information from another PC;
increase the download speed - thanks to all the same caching, the web user receives data faster, since not a complete download occurs, but only rewriting from one computer to another;
protect the local network from external users - in the proxy settings, you can specify that computers on the local network connect to the Internet only through a proxy server, and external computers do not see individual network users at all, but only the proxy server itself.

The most popular reasons for accessing proxy servers are to use a local network and to bypass restrictions. In the case of local networks, it is beneficial for consumers to connect through a proxy, because this is both protection, and higher speed, and cheap traffic. But connecting to a proxy when limiting users gives them almost the only opportunity to use the necessary information... Many non-free countries have filters that restrict the surfing of citizens, so you have to use foreign proxies. There is also a slightly different limitation, when resources (mainly foreign) block the access of IP addresses from developing countries to their information partially or completely. Those. only a user from the USA, a number of European countries, etc. can enter the site or some of its sections. Filters are based on IP address. You can bypass this limitation by connecting to a foreign proxy server, the IP of which the filters will pass.

How to use anonymous proxy server

To connect, you need to enter the menu "Service" - "Internet Options" in your browser. Next, find the "Connection" tab and click the "Network Settings" button in it. A window will open where, in the "Proxy server" area, specify "Use a Proxy server", fill in the "Address" and "Port" fields. For example, for proxy 212.116.124.8:80, specify the address 212.116.124.8, port 80.

After that, you can safely save the data and work.

If you need to quickly parse someone else's site, for example, the Avito parser, you will also need proxies so as not to be banned. All servers in the list are working at the time of adding. Not all servers allow working with Russian IP addresses.

Proxy checker, online proxy checker

HTTP- regular proxies that support HTTP requests. With their help, you can browse websites and download files over the HTTP protocol.

HTTPS- also called SSL-enabled proxies. Allows you to browse HTTPS sites. With the help of specialized programs, they can be used for any protocol, like SOCKS proxy servers.

Socks 4- proxies supporting socks protocol version 4. With their help, you can connect via TCP / IP protocol with any address and port.

Socks 5- in addition to the capabilities of version 4, in 5 you can use the UDP protocol, make DNS queries through a proxy, and also use the BIND method, which allows you to open a port for incoming connections.

Proxy list via API

To get a list of Proxy servers, use the following API request:

Http: // site / json / proxy / get

By default, a list of 20 proxy servers is displayed. To specify more, specify the perpage parameter. For every 20 proxy servers, one request is written off according to your tariff plan. Thus, you can get information about 400 proxy servers for free using the API request.

To specify the country where the proxy server is located, enter country = XX, where XX is the two-letter country code. The list of countries can be passed as a comma-separated list or as an array. For example, to receive data in json format about 100 proxy servers from Russia, specify:

Http: // site / json / proxy / get? Country = RU & perpage = 100 Answer: ("0" :( "name": "92.248.176.23:49131","work":1,"type":"HTTP" , "speed": 94, "upd": "2018-11-12 16:09:30", "country": "RU"), "1" :( "name": "91.144.167.217:8080", "work": 0, "type": "HTTP", "speed": 1436, "upd": "2018-11-12 16:05:20", "country": "RU"), "2": ("name": "37.29.62.226:57070","work"">,"type":"HTTPS","speed":7869,"upd":"2018-11-12 16:05:19", "country": "RU"), .... "99" :( "name": "188.93.242.213:49774","work""">,"type":"HTTPS","speed":580, "upd": "11-12 2018 14:05:41", "country": "RU"), "limit": 9323)

You can specify from which proxy server to start giving you information, to do this, specify the p = NN parameter, for example http: // site / json / proxy / get? Country = RU & p = 100

The following information is displayed about each server:

Name: 54.207.42.74:8080 - server address and port country: RU - server hosting country type: https, http, socks4, socks5 speed: 10998 - response speed in milliseconds upd: 2016-04-09 09:00:40 - date and the time of the last health check work: 1 - works from Russia, 2 - does not work from Russia

For a short list, use the short parameter:

Https: // site / json / proxy / get? Short

Then the list will only consist of a list of servers:

("0": "88.191.250.67:8118","1":"88.191.63.139:3128",...,"49":"94.229.69.?short=2

Then the list will only consist of a list of servers with protocols:

("0": "88.191.250.67:8118", "1": "socks4: //88.191.63.139: 3128", ..., "49": "https://94.229.69.98:33333", " limit ": 18)

For a list of only servers running from Russia, specify additional parameter& work = 1.

Adding a proxy and updating the list

To transfer a list of proxy servers known to you, use the API request:

Ip = IP_ADDRESS & port = PORT & type = PROTOCOL

You can also copy the text from the page of any site with a proxy list and transfer it. The body of the list may contain additional characters, separators, text, etc. The system will choose the right one by itself. For each working proxy server, we will charge you one request to your remainder of requests.

Ips = LIST Where LIST is a list in the ip: port format # country TYPE
country - two letters or English country name
TYPE - HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5

For start background process check all proxies use API call:

Https: // site / api / proxy / refresh

This call does not change the rest of your requests and cannot be called more than once an hour. The rechecking time can be up to 30 minutes.

Paid Proxy Servers

If you are not satisfied with the quality and reliability of free Proxy servers, you can use paid ones. Here are collected the most inexpensive and reliable services that provide paid proxy servers on various conditions:

• windscribe - This link is 11GB free every month, convenient application to a mobile phone, a browser plugin to enable / disable proxying with a built-in ad blocker. Telegram works great. ;-). Anonymous. Unlimited from $ 4 per month
• Hide My Name - from 199 rubles. per month 99 servers in 41 countries. Anonymous. From time to time he gets banned in Russia - he moves to a new domain. Bookmark this page to keep it up to date.

Browsing sites through anonymous proxies

Using anonymous proxy servers to browse sites.

Many users who want to safely surf the Internet want to know how to find out their proxy server - ip address and port. How to do it and what is it for? The importance and non-triviality of the question raised is explained by the purpose of the proxy. Its main task is to hide the user's private IP by replacing it with a different address.

Most often, this service is in demand in the field of SMM, where you need to enter under different accounts in in social networks from one computer. This minimizes the risk of account blocking and does not arouse suspicion on the part of the moderators. Sometimes they use it. To illustrate the problem raised, remember the cases when you went to a foreign site with a desire to watch a video or use services, but a warning appeared that viewing was limited for your region. Such situations arise all the time, but due to the lack of knowledge in the question of how to find out your proxy server and port, these problems may seem insoluble. Moreover, this significantly impoverishes the user's ability to obtain useful information, which could be obtained with the appropriate knowledge.

Dedicated proxies are used by many people. The goals can be very different: ranging from individual use and viewing blocked web resources, ending with the corporate segment, where the use of a huge number of proxies is considered the norm. But, at the same time, not everyone can find the answer: how to find out the proxy server that is used in currently... Let's try to consider the most effective options with which you can easily find out all the necessary information.

How to find out the address of the proxy server - the first way

Second way

Figuratively speaking, you don't always have to "climb" to get to your desired destination. Sometimes you need to be smart and tactfully get around the "mountain". The answer, how to find out the proxy address, can be obtained from the most in a simple way... All you need is to contact the system administrator who serves the local network. He has enough competence to look at the proxy and transfer it to you. The difficulty is that not everyone can know how to contact system administrator... To solve this problem, we recommend that you contact more knowledgeable people... They will tell you where to call to contact the administrator.

Third way

In the control panel of your computer, find and open the "Network Neighborhood" item. In it, click "display network connections"And then" Local Area Connections ". Click on it right click and select properties. In the window that opens, you need to find the Internet protocol TPC \ IP. Select "properties" again. If there is a checkmark next to "automatically get an ip address", then no dedicated proxy is used, if there are numbers (for example, 10.0.0.20), then this will be the address of the desired proxy.

How to find out the proxy port

In addition to the address and password, many users may be interested in the question of how to find out the proxy port. This is another parameter that is used when working with your own. As a rule, the standard values ​​for the port are used: 8080, 80, etc. Only in rare cases the value differs. The port address can be viewed in a browser by following the steps above. Its value fits next to the ip address. The working port through which your proxy actually connects must correspond to the declared value in the system or browser settings, otherwise your Internet connection will not work.
