If it's just for basic testing, you can find a few public sources for free SOCKS5 proxies, but the quality is usually poor and highly unstable.
Free proxies are almost always overused, so chances are you'll end up with blacklisted or painfully slow IPs. If you need even minimal reliability (for scraping or running a light bot),
it's better to stay away from free options and consider more stable solutions to avoid constant blocks or time-wasting errors.

Someone actually shared a list of free proxies here recently: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/free-proxies.1721820/ — might be worth checking out.
Just keep in mind, if it’s free, you might be the product.

If you’re just looking for free SOCKS5 proxies, you’ll find some public lists around, but don’t expect much stability. Most of them are hammered, already blacklisted, or painfully slow ,so unless it’s for very light testing, they’ll waste more time than they save.
If your goal is scraping, bot testing, or even basic rotation, it’s better to set up your own bridge or go with something semi-dedicated. Free SOCKS rarely survive beyond a few hours without dying or leaking usage.

free socks have very little use.

You can find public SOCKS5 lists on a few well-known sites—though keep in mind these are often slow, unreliable or even malicious, since anyone can add to them. A couple to try:
• socks-proxy.net offers a rotating feed of SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxies you can copy and paste.
• Free-proxy.cz has SOCKS5 entries alongside HTTP/S listings, with country-filters.
• Spys.one publishes a large table of proxies (look for the SOCKS columns), though you’ll need to scroll past a lot of ads.

There are many Socks 5 IP resources on the market, and you can get some for free, but because they are free, the quality will definitely not be good, the speed will not be fast, and it may even be ridiculously slow. This is very frustrating, except for some reliable proxy resources I know that there are free tests, because this is the resource I have personally used, I have used it for more than 4 months, and proved this conjecture. It turns out that not all S5 proxy resources are free and bad. My IP speed is now 40+ for download/upload, which is very fast. If you don't believe me, go directly to Cli Proxy to get a free test, and then say whether it works after the test.

Are you looking for something completely free, or just a free trial to test the quality before buying?
Paid Proxy Providers do offer free trial, so just try them. Free proxies help nothing, but give you serious risks.
