Free-servers is a repository that aggregates free proxy node subscriptions and provides access to shadowsocks, v2ray, trojan, and other tunneling protocols through Clash-compatible subscription addresses.
The project addresses the need for free access to proxy nodes by maintaining a curated list of working servers updated every six hours. Nodes are tested for availability and quality before inclusion. The repository provides subscription addresses in standard formats that can be imported into compatible clients, along with QR codes for convenient access. A companion Android application called Shadowrocket for Android includes all free nodes built-in, while a cross-platform app called ShadowShare supports iOS and Android with additional node management and subscription conversion features.
This tool suits users seeking free proxy access without paid subscriptions. The project maintains nodes across multiple protocols, making it compatible with various client applications. Those adopting it should be aware that node availability varies by region and ISP, and timeouts may occur despite testing. The README notes that the curated node list displayed on the main page shows only a subset of available nodes, with additional options accessible through the companion applications. Users are directed toward the ShadowShare app or Shadowrocket for Android for the full node selection.
The project relies on manual, real-time testing of individual nodes performed by the maintainer, with updates occurring every six hours. The README explicitly acknowledges the labor-intensive nature of this approach with a colloquial reference to the testing cycle. The project maintains multiple subscription address mirrors to ensure availability. Development activity centers on sustaining the node list and keeping testing infrastructure operational, with supplementary promotion of related applications and VPN services.
