| Repository | Description |
|---|---|

Example (ProxRipper):
# Fetch HTTP proxy list (path may change; check repo)
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohammedcha/ProxRipper/main/full_proxies/http.txt"- Test before use — Many entries are dead. Batch-check (e.g. HTTP response, timeout) and keep only working proxies.
- No sensitive traffic — Free proxies are often third-party; risk of sniffing or tampering. Do not send passwords, payment data, etc.
- Throttle requests — Even with proxies, respect target sites; avoid abuse.
- Production — For stable, observable dynamic proxy, use a service with a free tier (e.g. Bytesflows — daily check-in for proxy traffic) or build your own proxy pool.
- This list only curates public sources. We do not host or operate any proxy nodes.
- Availability and compliance of the listed sites/APIs are the responsibility of their operators; verify before use.
- Use proxies in compliance with target sites’ terms of service and local laws. Do not use free proxies for illegal purposes.
