Careful with this one: costfreezone.com is not dead. A crawler reached it on 26 August 2026 and saved a page. Our server did not, which is what a site that blocks data centre addresses looks like from the outside.
What sat at this address
The Internet Archive's first working copy of costfreezone.com is from February 2011 and it holds 53 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Unblock proxy. All URLs will be unblocked in 2022!". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
You are at school, work or maybe a public wifi and want to check your Facebook, latest Youtube video your friend sent you, or some other website and the only thing you can see is a blank page, or page saying that the URL is blocked?
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 18 April 2026.
The listing that carried it, on the free proxy directory workingproxysites.com, is 13 years old, and 1,183 people clicked through from there.
When it went quiet
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 18 April 2026 and the archive kept visiting until 26 August 2026.
What the name does today
We checked costfreezone.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers with no answer.
The registry record shows the name was registered on 9 November 2007 and is paid until 9 November 2026 through NameSilo, LLC. Its name servers are ns1.dnsowl.com and ns2.dnsowl.com.
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.
Where the record runs out
There is no account of who ran it or why they stopped. Small sites like this one leave dates behind, not explanations, and we would rather say so than fill the gap.
Treat the check as one sample: taken on one day, from one network. Anything refusing data centre traffic looks identical to something switched off. Due for a recheck by 1 January 2027.
