There is nothing left at avoidspam.gq. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from September 2017.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of avoidspam.gq is from September 2017 and it holds 4 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Proxy Sites | Free Secure Web Proxy Server|Free SSH Server|Free VPN Service". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
In these ways, Web Proxy is the first and the easiest one.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 22 September 2017.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 9 years ago, and that listing counted 587 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 22 September 2017 and the archive kept visiting until 31 August 2019.
What the name does today
We checked avoidspam.gq on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The name does not resolve: there is no address behind it, so nothing can be served from it.
Where to go from here
A list with a visible last-checked time beats a remembered domain. Ours re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests a single address if you would rather bring your own.
Expect what free has always meant: shared addresses that targets recognise, and no session persistence, which breaks anything behind a login.
What this page cannot tell you
The record shows when, not why. Nothing public says whether the operator lost interest, lost the hosting, or simply moved on, so this page does not guess.
Our status check is one day from one vantage point, and a site that refuses requests from data centres would look the same as one that is switched off. We will check this page again by 1 January 2027.
