chinaproxy.asia is gone in the most literal sense: the name itself no longer exists in the domain system. The last page anyone saved from it dates to July 2019.

The site behind the name

The Internet Archive's first working copy of chinaproxy.asia is from July 2019 and it holds 13 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "China Proxy - Free China Proxy". Underneath it was PHProxy, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

You're always being watched by the prying eyes however secure China IP address can hide your public IP address behind the internet filters.

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 19 July 2019.

Somebody submitted it to workingproxysites.com 8 years ago, and that listing counted 2,885 clicks through to it.

How it ended

We sampled the archive's first and last captures rather than all 13: it was working in 19 July 2019 and the archive kept visiting until 21 June 2025.

Where the address points now

We checked chinaproxy.asia on 10 September 2026 from our own server. No address comes back for it at all, so a browser gives up before it can ask for a page.

The registry has no record of the name any more, which means the registration itself lapsed rather than the site simply going quiet.

The replacement

What this site did, a page you browse through, is worth less now than a list you can test. Our free China proxy list carries a last-checked time on every entry and re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests any single address you bring.

None of that makes free proxies reliable. They are shared, so targets have seen the address before, and they hold no session, which breaks logins.

What this page cannot tell you

Why it stopped is not in the record. A dead name and an archive that runs out show that something ended, not the reason for it, and we will not put a reason in print that the record does not carry.

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.
