Chinaproxy.nu is gone: what the record shows, and what to use

Chinaproxy.nu was a free web proxy the archive first saved in July 2014. What it was, when it stopped, what the name does today, and a list that is still checked.

Skip the dead lists.

Our free proxy list re-checks every exit every few minutes across 100+ countries, with a live last-checked time, so you copy IPs that worked moments ago, not a stale text dump.

Open the free proxy list

There is nothing left at chinaproxy.nu. 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 chinaproxy.nu is from July 2014 and it holds 6 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "City Sites - Parkerad Sida". The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 303 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 27 September 2017.

What the name does today

We checked chinaproxy.nu 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.
