Contact Live Socks about a list, a proxy or a broken link

One address handles everything: contact [at] live-socks [dot] net. Written out that way to keep the harvesters off it. Replies usually go out within a day or two.

Taking an address down

If an IP listed here is yours and you want it gone, say so and it goes, same day where possible. No proof of ownership needed and no argument: an open proxy on your network is your problem to close, and keeping it listed helps nobody.

Send the exact IP:PORT and, if you have it, the page it appears on. The archive holds 21 783 lists, so a bare IP means searching all of them. With the address in hand it takes a minute.

Worth knowing: removing it here does not close the proxy. It stays open to everyone scanning for it, and there are many. Fix the box as well.

Broken links into the archive

Old forum posts point at pages from 2011 onwards. Those should all still resolve. If one gives an error, send the address you clicked and where you clicked it from, and it gets fixed. Start at the month archive if you are only trying to find something.

A list that checks badly

Lists age fast. Before writing in, run it through the checker and take the newest one from the front page. If a fresh list still comes back mostly dead from your location, that is worth hearing about, and mentioning your country and what you tested with helps.

What this site does not do

No private or dedicated proxies are sold here, and there is nothing to buy on this domain. Everything published is free and public. Asking for paid access will get you pointed at a paid SOCKS5 plan, which is a shorter answer than we can give in an email.

There is also no custom scanning, no bulk export and no API. What is on the site is what there is.
