Free Proxy List is a free proxy service that provides United States IP addresses for web scraping and other projects.
The service addresses the need for accessible proxy infrastructure by offering free datacenter proxies without requiring payment upfront. Users register on the Oxylabs dashboard, create a proxy user, and then integrate the proxies into their applications using standard tools like cURL or Python. The approach centers on simplicity: straightforward account setup followed by direct proxy connection using credentials.
Developers should choose this tool if they need US-based proxies for testing, development, or light production use without budget constraints. The free tier includes HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocol support across five US IP addresses with a monthly traffic allowance and concurrent session limits. The project suits small-scale scraping projects, browser automation testing, and scenarios where IP rotation across a limited US geography is sufficient. A free Chrome extension called Oxy Proxy Manager is available for manual IP switching during browsing. The README provides integration guides and documentation for connecting the proxies to third-party tools, though it does not compare this offering to alternative free proxy providers.
The project maintains active support channels including email, live chat through the dashboard, and a Discord community for user questions and assistance.
