About ProxyNest
A free public proxy directory with no paywalls, no accounts, and no inflated promises.
What this is
ProxyNest collects public proxy servers from open sources, checks which ones respond, enriches them with country data and measured speeds where available, and publishes the result here — searchable, filterable, and exportable. Everything is free: the lists, the Telegram MTProto proxies, the exports, and the JSON API. The site is supported by advertising, not by locking features behind payments.
No paywalls
There is no premium tier. If a proxy is listed, you can use it.
Tested, not guessed
Speed, uptime and score figures come from real connection tests — never invented.
Honest limits
We label untested proxies as untested and say plainly that free proxies die fast.
Where the data comes from
All sources are public and free. ProxyNest doesn't buy lists or scrape anyone's paid product.
Public proxy lists
Raw proxy lists published openly on GitHub, including TheSpeedX's PROXY-List and iplocate's free-proxy-list. These are community-maintained and free forever.
Tested speed data
Measured latency, uptime and quality scores are matched against public test data (via Proxmint's open API). Only proxies with a matching real test record earn the TESTED badge.
Geo enrichment
IP geolocation fills in the country for each proxy, so you can filter the list by location. A rolling collector refreshes the pool and re-checks liveness in cycles.
Honest limitations
Not every listed proxy is alive right now
Free proxies die within hours. The list shows proxies that were alive at the last check, but some will already be dead by the time you try them. That's why every row has a Ping button — verify before you rely on it.
Only some proxies have verified speeds
Hundreds of entries carry real measured latency, uptime and score. The rest are marked UNTESTED rather than given invented numbers. We'd rather show "untested" than fake data.
Speeds are snapshots, not guarantees
A proxy's speed depends on current load, your distance from it, and whether its IP has been blocked since the test. Treat every figure as "measured at test time", not a promise.
Public proxies are run by strangers
We don't operate these servers and can't vouch for their operators. Never route sensitive logins or banking through a public proxy, and prefer HTTPS everywhere.
