proxmint

Free proxy list, re-validated every 30 minutes. Zero dependencies, no API key, no signup.

Every proxy this returns was proven alive by a real HTTP request made through it — not pinged, not assumed — within the last half hour. Dead entries are dropped rather than left to rot, which is the difference between this and most public proxy lists.

CLI

npx proxmint                              # 20 fastest, ip:port, one per line
npx proxmint -p socks5 -c de -n 50        # 50 german socks5
npx proxmint --sort latency --url         # protocol://ip:port
npx proxmint --json | jq '.[] | select(.uptimePct > 90)'

| Option | | |---|---| | -p, --protocol | http · https · socks4 · socks5 | | -c, --country | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. de | | -a, --anonymity | elite · anonymous · transparent | | -s, --sort | score · latency · uptime · checked (default score) | | -n, --limit | how many to print (default 20) | | --url | print protocol://ip:port | | --json | full rows as JSON |

Output goes to stdout one per line, so it pipes into anything. Messages and errors go to stderr.

Library

import { fetchProxies, fetchProxyUrls } from "proxmint";

const proxies = await fetchProxies({ protocol: "socks5", country: "de", limit: 50 });
// [{ ip, port, protocol, countryCode, countryName, anonymity,
//    latencyMs, uptimePct, score, lastCheckedAt }, ...]

const urls = await fetchProxyUrls({ sort: "latency", limit: 10 });
// ["socks5://69.55.49.177:38182", ...]

fetchProxyLines() returns bare ip:port strings. All three take the same options and page automatically past the API's 200-rows-per-request cap. Ships its own TypeScript types.

Failures throw ProxmintError with a status.

Fields

| Field | Meaning | |---|---| | uptimePct | share of our checks this proxy has passed (EWMA, 0–100) | | latencyMs | round trip through the proxy on its last successful check | | score | reliability rank combining uptime, latency and recency | | anonymity | elite — added nothing a direct request wouldn't · anonymous — announces itself as a proxy · transparent — leaked the caller's IP · null — not measurable |

anonymity is null, never a guess. An http proxy carrying an https request opens a CONNECT tunnel: it relays encrypted bytes it cannot read, so it has no opportunity to add Via or X-Forwarded-For even if it normally would. Silence there means unknown, not elite.

One further limit, stated plainly: our echo endpoint sits behind a CDN that overwrites inbound X-Forwarded-For, so a proxy that leaks your IP only through that header, and sets no Via or Forwarded, is rated elite here. Read elite as "we found no leak", not "there is none".

Warning

These are free public proxies run by strangers. They are slow, short-lived, and some are honeypots that log or tamper with traffic. Use them for testing and research. Never send logged-in or sensitive traffic through one. We verify that a proxy forwards traffic — nothing more. We do not operate, audit, or endorse any of them.

Needing proxies that stay up is a different problem, and the one Proxmint sells.
