Free proxies are a gamble. Their operators are often unknown, which means your data could be intercepted through man-in-the-middle attacks, have malware injected into HTTP responses, or be silently logged and sold to third parties. Because public proxies are shared by thousands of users, they're painfully slow, frequently blacklisted, and drop connections without warning — and they never encrypt your traffic.
CometVPN is a full VPN service that encrypts all your traffic end-to-end, keeps your real IP private, and delivers consistent high-speed connections. Unlike proxies, a VPN protects your entire device — not just one app or browser tab. With a dedicated residential IP or our Native Residential VPN, you get real ISP-assigned addresses, near-100% uptime, and complete control over your online privacy — with none of the risks of free proxy servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a free proxy server?
A free proxy server acts as a middleman between your device and the internet, letting you browse with a different IP address. While free proxies can help with basic anonymity, they lack the encryption, speed, and reliability of a full VPN service.
Are free proxies safe to use?
Free proxies carry real risks. Public proxy servers can be operated by anyone — including bad actors who log your personal data, inject malware into unencrypted HTTP traffic, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks to steal credentials. Unlike a VPN, free proxies don't encrypt your connection, leaving everything you send and receive exposed. For anything beyond throwaway browsing, a trusted VPN like CometVPN is the safer choice.
How is a VPN different from a proxy?
A proxy only reroutes traffic from a single app or browser, while a VPN encrypts all traffic from your device. VPNs provide full privacy protection, prevent ISP tracking, and secure your connection on public networks — things a proxy simply cannot do.
What is the difference between a proxy list and a web proxy?
A web proxy is a website where you paste a URL and browse through the site itself — no setup needed, but limited to basic browsing. A proxy list gives you IP addresses and ports that you configure in your browser, scraping tool, or automation software. Proxy lists offer more control and work with a wider range of applications, but the proxies are often short-lived and require regular updates.
Can I use free proxies for web scraping?
Free proxies are commonly used for web scraping, but they come with significant limitations. Public proxies get overloaded and blacklisted quickly, which means constant connection failures and IP bans. For reliable scraping at any scale, CometVPN's Native Residential service provides real ISP-assigned IPs across 190+ locations — giving you stable, undetectable connections that handle high-volume data collection without interruptions.
Why are free proxies so slow and unreliable?
Free proxies are shared by thousands of simultaneous users, which means bandwidth is severely limited. They also get discovered and blacklisted by websites quickly, leading to frequent connection drops. Because there is no financial incentive to maintain them, free proxies go offline without notice. Paid services like CometVPN maintain dedicated infrastructure with guaranteed bandwidth and uptime.
What is a Dedicated Residential IP?
A Dedicated Residential IP from CometVPN gives you a private, non-shared IP address from a real ISP network. It's yours alone — no one else uses it. This is ideal for secure remote access, streaming, or any situation where you need a consistent, trusted IP with unlimited data and always-on encryption.
What is the Native Residential service?
CometVPN's Native Residential service connects you through real ISP-assigned IP addresses for the most authentic browsing experience. Your traffic is fully encrypted and routed through genuine residential networks, making it perfect for accessing geo-restricted content, maintaining privacy, and browsing without restrictions.
