Free proxy tools
Small tools that remove the boring parts of working with proxies. They are free and they run without an account.
- What is my IP addressSee the public IP address that websites see when you connect, and the language and browser details your browser sends.
- Proxy format converterConvert a proxy between host:port:user:pass, user:pass@host:port and URL formats, and get a curl command, a Python snippet and environment variables.
- Proxy username builderBuild a gateway username with the exit country and an optional sticky session, and get the matching curl test.
- Country codes for proxiesEvery country with its two-letter and three-letter code, the currency and phone code, and whether ProxyOnly has proxies there today.
Why we built them
Most proxy problems are small and avoidable: a credential copied in the wrong format, a country code that is not a country code, or a connection that is not really using the proxy. The tools check for exactly these things, and they use the same values as ProxyOnly's gateway, so what you build here works in the dashboard and the API.
They do not ask for credentials to be sent to us. The converter and the username builder work in your browser, and the address check only reads the connection that you are using right now.
After the tools
When your credentials look right, test them with curl, then put them into your own tool with one of the setup guides.
Which proxy type fits any country
Pick the proxy type from the job rather than the price. Here is how the types we sell compare, so you can match one to your work in any country:
Datacenter IPv4. The default choice for most jobs. These are dedicated IPv4 addresses hosted in a datacenter, fast and inexpensive, and the best fit for high-volume reading of public pages, monitoring and automation. Some websites treat datacenter ranges more cautiously than consumer connections, so test your target before you commit to a long rental.
ISP proxies. Static addresses that are registered to an internet service provider rather than a hosting company. They keep the speed of datacenter hardware and look more like an ordinary home or office connection, which helps with destinations that are strict about hosting ranges.
Shared IPv4. A shared address is used by more than one customer and costs less. It suits light tasks, quick checks and testing where a clean, exclusive address is not essential.
IPv6. IPv6 addresses are very cheap and plentiful, and they work well with destinations that serve IPv6 traffic, such as many large search, video and social platforms. Many smaller sites are still IPv4 only, so check that your target supports IPv6 before you buy.
Mobile proxies. Addresses from mobile carrier networks. Many phones share the same carrier address, so websites tend to be tolerant of this traffic, which makes mobile proxies the right choice for testing mobile ads, apps and landing pages. They cost more than datacenter addresses.
Residential proxies. Addresses from home internet connections, billed by the amount of traffic you use and not by the IP. They suit light, bursty jobs on sites that block datacenter and ISP ranges. Heavy traffic gets expensive quickly, so estimate your monthly volume first.
If you are unsure, rent one address of the type you think you need, run your real task against it for a day, and look at the success rate. Because rental periods start at a few days, trying a type costs very little.
Using proxies responsibly in any country
A proxy is a networking tool and it is lawful in most places, but what you do with it still has to be lawful and fair. Follow the laws that apply to you and to the place you send traffic to, read the terms of the sites you visit, honour robots rules and rate limits, and never use an address to access accounts or data that are not yours. ProxyOnly cannot give legal advice, and our acceptable use policy applies to every order.
In practice that means reading public pages, checking your own sites and ads, and testing your own products. If a task would be unwelcome to the site owner when done by hand, it is unwelcome when done through a proxy too.
Frequently asked questions
Are the tools free?
Yes. They are free and need no account.
Do you store what I enter?
No. The converter and the username builder work in your browser, and the address check only shows your current connection.
Can I test a proxy here?
Use the address check with your browser or tool set to use the proxy. The address shown should be the proxy's.
