Proxifly is a free proxy list that aggregates HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies from multiple sources and updates them every five minutes.
The tool solves the problem of finding working proxies by automatically scraping and validating proxies across multiple protocols and geographic regions. It fetches fresh proxies regularly, removes duplicates, and organizes them by protocol type and country of origin. The validated proxy data is made available through multiple access methods: direct download as text, JSON, or CSV files, or programmatically through an NPM module for integration into applications.
Developers should choose this tool if they need a regularly updated source of free proxies for web scraping, testing, or other legitimate use cases that require rotating IP addresses across many countries. The project suits applications that can tolerate the inherent unreliability of free proxies and need broad geographic coverage. The tool emphasizes responsible use and explicitly directs users to follow GitHub's acceptable use policy, noting that proxies should not be abused or used for illegal activity.
The project maintains active development with regular commits tracking the continuous update cycle. The tool is distributed as both a standalone repository with downloadable proxy lists and as an NPM package for programmatic access. The infrastructure supports multiple output formats to accommodate different integration patterns, from simple file downloads to API-style consumption.
