Free SOCKS4 proxy list

A continuously-updated list of public SOCKS4 proxies. SOCKS4 is the older SOCKS revision — no authentication, no UDP and no IPv6 — but still common for simple TCP tunnelling. Many hosts that advertise SOCKS4 also speak SOCKS5, which is usually the better choice.

Note: our proxy checker deep-tests HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5; SOCKS4 rows are listed for reference and are best verified as SOCKS5 where supported.

SOCKS4 vs SOCKS5

Prefer SOCKS5 when you can — it adds auth, UDP and IPv6. Use SOCKS4 only when a tool specifically requires it. See proxy types.

How to use these proxies safely

Free proxies rotate and die fast. Before you depend on any row, paste it into the bulk proxy checker to confirm it's alive and measure speed, exit IP and anonymity, or normalise formats with the proxy formatter. Only use proxies you're authorised to use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SOCKS4 and SOCKS5?

SOCKS4 is the older revision with no authentication, UDP or IPv6 support. SOCKS5 adds all three and is usually the better choice when the host supports it.

Can this site test SOCKS4 proxies?

The bulk checker deep-tests HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. SOCKS4 rows are listed for reference and are best verified as SOCKS5 where the host also speaks it.
