How I Found a Proxy List That Actually Works in 2025

Let’s be honest — most free proxy lists out there are either full of dead IPs, throttled to death, or wrapped in paywalls.

I stumbled across a small site recently that’s doing something a bit more solid. It pulls public proxies from multiple sources, tests each one, and filters out anything that’s broken or slow.

It checks for:

• HTTPS support
• Latency (time to first byte)
• Anonymity level (transparent, anonymous, elite)
• Country geolocation (via offline GeoIP)

The whole thing is displayed in a clean table that updates every few minutes — no JavaScript overload, no signup required.

It’s been surprisingly useful for small scraping tasks, testing geo-blocks, or just having IPs on hand when needed.

Here’s a sample from today:

Tools like this tend to disappear or fall apart, but for now, this one’s holding up well. Worth a bookmark if you’re in this space.
