Free proxy list for Python
You can download the current list and select an entry for a short-lived Python test. Always set timeouts and handle failures.
Example with requests
Use a proxy URL for a non-sensitive request and keep a short timeout:
import requests
proxy = "http://IP:PORT"
response = requests.get(
"https://example.com",
proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy},
timeout=10,
)
print(response.status_code)Safety notes
Public proxies are not trusted infrastructure. Do not use them for authentication, personal data, or production workloads.
