Somebody searching for Awebproxy today is usually one of two people: a customer who cannot log in, or a buyer who found an old review. This page is for both, and it starts with the dates.

What the site does today

On 9 September 2026 the name resolved to nothing usable (UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT). Three attempts, two protocols, no response.

Archive coverage stops at February 2014, after 2 good captures. The crawler kept visiting. There was nothing left to save.

How it described itself

In February 2014, the last month the archive caught it working, the homepage was titled "www.awebproxy.org - Free Anonymous USA Proxy Youtube". The heading on the page was "www.awebproxy.org". For search engines it described itself as: "Free USA proxy for Youtube. Click here to watch now!..."

The company is describing itself there, preserved by a third party. It is the closest a reader gets to seeing what they signed up for. Marketing, not evidence of quality, but nobody can quietly revise it now.

The site, while it lasted

The archive first captured a working page in July 2013.

So the business existed and had a product. Whether it was any good is not something the record can settle.

The registration record

Registration goes back to 16 November 2013, with NameCheap, Inc. as registrar. So the domain has existed for some 12 years. Registration runs to 16 November 2026. Somebody is still paying for a name that serves nothing. Those dates come from a registry lookup on 9 September 2026.

The rest of the trail

We also track the same brand at awebproxy.com. Where a shutdown leaves sibling domains behind, they are worth checking before assuming everything stopped.

What this page cannot tell you is the reason. Companies close for ordinary reasons far more often than dramatic ones, and the public record does not distinguish between them. Everything above is a date or a capture; none of it is a motive.

More of the same record

We keep the same record for these, each re-checked the day it was written:

The honest replacement

Practical first step for a former customer: stop any recurring payment at your bank rather than on their site, since their site is not there to stop it on. Then check your dispute window.

Frequently asked questions

Is Awebproxy really gone?
We re-checked the domain on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http. Nothing answered on any of them. That is evidence of a shutdown rather than proof of one, and it is the strongest evidence the public web offers.
What happened to Awebproxy?
We do not know, and we will not guess in public. The record shows when the site stopped being captured and that it no longer answers. It says nothing about the reason, and every confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown that we have read traces back to a forum rumour.
What should I use instead of Awebproxy?
A list that is re-checked rather than a name someone remembers. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so an address that stops answering drops off it instead of sitting there for years. Free proxies stay shared and short-lived, so anything that needs a login will still break.
