## What it is
A daily-updated list of free, public forward proxy servers with metadata on country, anonymity level, protocol type, and Google pass status. It also offers a companion API (PubProxy) for filtering proxies by specification.

## Use cases
- find free public proxy servers for web scraping
- get a list of anonymous HTTP proxies updated daily
- download proxies in IP:PORT format for a scraper
- filter proxies by country, anonymity, or HTTPS support via API
- rotate IP addresses to avoid rate limiting
- find socks5 proxies for testing geo-restricted content

## When to choose
- you need a free, regularly refreshed source of public proxies
- you want metadata like anonymity level and country code for each proxy
- you prefer a simple raw text file or a queryable API

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed uptime, speed, or security from proxies
- you require authenticated or private proxy infrastructure
- you need SOCKS-only or specialized tunneling beyond HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS4/5
