About OpenProxyHub
OpenProxyHub was created to solve a significant problem many users face: finding **reliable and functional proxies**. The internet is flooded with proxy lists, but they often contain **dead proxies** or proxies that don’t meet the specific needs of users, whether it’s **geolocation**, **protocol**, or **latency**. OpenProxyHub provides a solution by validating proxies and sorting out the working ones.
Our service aggregates proxies from multiple public sources, checks their functionality, and filters out the dead ones. The goal is simple: to provide users with **working, reliable, and fast proxies** for a variety of tasks like web scraping, testing, or privacy protection.

How It Works
OpenProxyHub leverages a combination of custom scripts and databases to collect and validate proxies. Here’s how the process works:
- Collection: We aggregate proxies from various **public sources** across the internet. These proxies come from a wide range of providers, and our system continuously pulls in fresh data.
- Validation: Using **proxy_validator.php**, we check each proxy to ensure it’s working, fast, and available. We check for various attributes like **protocol** (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5), **geolocation**, and **latency** to ensure they meet your needs.
- Sorting: After validation, proxies are categorized based on their reliability and performance. This includes filtering out **dead proxies** and sorting the remaining ones by **latency**, **protocol type**, and **geolocation**.
- Geo-Validation: The **geo_worker.php** script checks proxies against geo-location databases to ensure they are located where they are expected to be, improving the accuracy of our data.
- Database Storage: All validated proxies are stored in a series of specialized databases (e.g., **proxy_registry_db_dump.json**, **proxy_catalog_db_dump.json**) that ensure the data is accessible and efficient to query. This allows users to filter and find the exact proxy they need based on different criteria.
Why OpenProxyHub?
While there are many **proxy lists** available, few validate proxies in real-time. OpenProxyHub stands out because it offers **working proxies** you can rely on. Instead of wasting time sifting through unreliable proxies, OpenProxyHub gives you **tested and validated proxies** for your specific tasks. Whether you need proxies for **web scraping**, **security testing**, or privacy purposes, we make it easy to find proxies that actually work.
Ethical Use of Proxies
At OpenProxyHub, we do not control the proxies we collect; our job is simply to validate them. We emphasize responsible use of proxies and encourage users to **respect the websites and services they interact with**. Proxies can be powerful tools, but they should always be used in accordance with ethical and legal guidelines.
Our service makes it easy to find proxies, but users are responsible for using them appropriately. **OpenProxyHub** strictly **does not endorse or support illegal activities** and urges users to ensure they are compliant with all applicable laws when utilizing proxies.
Security & Privacy
**Privacy and security** are fundamental to OpenProxyHub’s operations. While we do not store personal data, our platform focuses exclusively on providing **working proxy data**. We don’t track users or store any information about their activities while using the proxies.
Our service only validates proxies — it does not control the proxies themselves. We encourage users to use proxies responsibly and ensure that any sensitive data they handle while using them is protected.
Roadmap
As OpenProxyHub grows, we are committed to improving and expanding our services. Here are a few of the **planned features** for the future:
- Advanced Filtering: We plan to offer more granular filtering options, allowing users to search proxies by additional parameters like speed, anonymity level, and more.
- New Proxy Sources: We aim to integrate additional proxy sources from around the world to provide a wider range of options for our users.
- API Enhancements: We will continue improving our API to give developers more control over their requests, with features like bulk proxy checking and more detailed metrics.
