I can tell you this, I looked at your Free Proxy List and port probed the few ones it said it had just checked to be active 17 seconds ago, hah, it's a total joke. I wouldn't bother using that site. The bigger question is why are you trying to use a proxy? If you need anonymity a good VPN is really the way to go.
