What we think after testing Proxy4Free
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last tested Jul 9, 2026
Based on published specifications, Proxy4Free is a paid residential and multi-type proxy service rather than the free public proxy list its name historically evokes. It is operated out of Hong Kong by Cloud Bridge Information Technology Co., Limited, with a registered address in San Po Kong, Kowloon, and a site copyright dated 2022. Buyers should be aware of this distinction up front: the modern proxy4free.com is a commercial IP resource provider positioned on affordability, not a source of free open proxies.
On network scale, the company advertises a pool of 90M+ residential IPs across 190+ countries and regions, backed by what it describes as roughly 5,200 high-speed servers. Per the site, large country pools are called out (for example the UK, Brazil, Germany, Russia and Australia each in the millions of IPs), and Hong Kong is highlighted with 3M+ IPs. These pool figures are vendor-stated and have not, to our knowledge, been independently audited.
Targeting and rotation are a relative strength on paper. Published specs list country, state, city, ZIP-code and ASN-level geo-targeting, which is more granular than many budget competitors advertise. The residential product supports rotating IPs as well as sticky/long sessions of up to 24 hours, with unlimited concurrent sessions and requests stated across the residential and ISP tiers. Static residential IPs are offered with validity up to one year, and datacenter and ISP options round out the lineup for use cases that need persistent addresses.
Protocol support is only partially documented. The site explicitly references a SOCKS5 residential service; HTTP/HTTPS support is not clearly stated on the public product pages, so integrators should confirm protocol availability directly before committing. A public API for proxy management is offered, along with a user dashboard; no browser extension is advertised, and there is no clearly documented standalone proxy manager application beyond the web dashboard.
Pricing is the biggest transparency gap. The provider markets itself as among the most affordable residential proxies and shows a headline promotional discount (73.6% off residential), but the actual starting per-GB, per-IP and per-day figures are not published on the public pricing pages, appearing only as dashes until a user logs in or reaches checkout. The billing model is clear even if the numbers are not: residential and long-acting ISP proxies are billed per GB, static residential and static datacenter per IP, and the unlimited residential plan per day. A Refund Policy page exists but its exact terms (window in days, conditions) are not published in an accessible form, and no explicit free trial is advertised. Accepted payment methods and cryptocurrency support are likewise not disclosed publicly, so both should be treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed.
The site publishes marketing performance claims of a 0.6s response time, up to 99.5% success rate and up to 99.5% uptime. These are vendor figures with no independent benchmark behind them, and this comparison treats success rate, latency and uptime as unverified. There are no known independent third-party benchmarks establishing Proxy4Free's real-world success rate or speed. On reputation, the provider has a Trustpilot presence with a modest number of reviews that skew positive, commonly praising easy setup, a clean dashboard, stable connections and responsive support; the review volume is small enough that it should be read as directional rather than conclusive.
Proxy4Free is best suited to budget-conscious users who want broad country coverage, granular geo-targeting and flexible billing models for tasks like data scraping, SEO monitoring, market research and brand protection, and who are comfortable evaluating the service hands-on. It is harder to recommend for buyers who require up-front pricing transparency, documented protocol support, a clearly stated refund window, or independently verified performance data, since none of those are published. Anyone with compliance-sensitive workloads should also independently verify the provider's IP-sourcing and support responsiveness before scaling.
