free-proxy-list
free-proxy-list by Databay is a continuously updated repository providing verified working proxies across HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 protocols. The list refreshes every five minutes and contains over 1,500 proxies sourced from more than 90 countries. A key differentiator is strict SSL validation, ensuring all proxies support secure HTTPS tunneling via the CONNECT method without performing Man-in-the-Middle attacks or requiring certificate trust overrides. This guarantees data integrity and security during encrypted browsing or scraping tasks. The resource includes approximately 895 HTTP proxies, 468 SOCKS4 proxies, and 332 SOCKS5 proxies, with latency metrics ranging from 60ms to an average of 2454ms. Users can access the lists via direct text file downloads or a free public API that allows filtering by protocol, country, and anonymity level without requiring an API key. The data is deduplicated and sorted by recency, making it suitable for developers and researchers needing reliable, fresh proxy endpoints for
