What happened to getproxylist.com, and what still works

getproxylist.com answers nothing today, because the name itself was given up. A browser asking for it gets no address back at all, and the last saved copy of the site is from May 2004.

The site it used to be

The Internet Archive's first working copy of getproxylist.com is from May 2004 and it holds 84 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "www.getproxylist.com".

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from May 24, 2004, and the archive kept visiting until April 13, 2026.

What answers there now

We checked getproxylist.com on September 6, 2026, from our own server in Germany. Nothing resolves. The lookup comes back empty, which means no server can even be reached, let alone a proxy.

The registry record shows the name was registered on March 11, 2017, and is paid until March 11, 2027, through GoDaddy.com, LLC.

People still look for it: 20 searches a month for the name, according to Google's Keyword Planner read on September 10, 2026.

A working replacement

The useful thing is a list somebody re-checks. Ours drops entries the moment they stop answering, and the checker will tell you whether an address you already have still relays anything.

Free proxies remain shared and short lived, which is fine for opening one blocked page and wrong for anything that has to hold a session.

What we could not establish

No public document explains the ending. We can date it and describe it; anything about motive would be invention, and this page prints none.

This is a single reading from a single vantage point. A proxy that turns away data center addresses would give us the same silence as a proxy that no longer exists. We recheck by January 1, 2027.

Frequently asked questions

Is getproxylist.com still working?

No. The name no longer resolves, which we checked on September 6, 2026, from our own server. The last working page the Internet Archive holds is from May 2004.

What can I use instead of getproxylist.com?

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.

Get proxies that are alive right now

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. When the location has to survive a real check, the paid network holds up.
