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

filterbypass.xyz is for sale. The address now shows a listing rather than a proxy, and the last working capture the archive holds is from July 2025.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of filterbypass.xyz is from November 2015 and it holds 30 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "filterbypass.xyz - Informationen zum Thema filterbypass.". It ran on PHProxy, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 11 years ago, and that listing counted 308 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 19 July 2025.

What the name does today

We checked filterbypass.xyz on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "filterbypass.xyz - This website is for sale! - filterbypass Resources and Information.".

People still look for it: 10 searches a month for the name, according to Google's Keyword Planner read on 10 September 2026.

What still works

The replacement for a dead web proxy is not another name to remember. Our free proxy list shows when each entry was last checked and re-verifies every few minutes, and the checker tests an address you bring yourself.

Free proxies stay shared and short lived. For opening a blocked page that is usually enough, and for anything that has to work at a particular moment it is not.

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.

What can I use instead of filterbypass.xyz?
A list that is re-checked rather than a name someone remembers. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so entries that stop answering drop off it. Free proxies stay shared and short lived, so anything behind a login will still break.
