Servers
You may connect to any of the current active proxy servers using the address and port numbers below. Use this list as a reference when configuring your web browser. For a comprehensive guide, please see Getting Started.
This list will be periodically updated to prevent spam. New addresses and port numbers will be updated here, and announced in social media channels. Our standard servers operate at T1 speeds.
Automatic Proxy Configuration
If your web browser supports Automatic Proxy Configuration, you may want to use it instead to provide redundancy and automatic updates should the proxy server addresses and port numbers change. It will automatically switch to alternate proxies if the intended proxy cannot be reached.
Automatic Configuration is supported by the following web browsers:
- Netscape Navigator 2.0+ and newer
- Internet Explorer 4.0+ and newer.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE (Feb 12th, 2021)
The National Weather Service has issued a warning of a historic winter storm approaching North Texas, and as result, Protoweb may experience temporary power outages in the next four days as we weather the upcoming storm. This may impact proxy services, but the website should stay accessible for further updates. This warning is in effect until Feb 18th, 2021.
