Is hidefromyou.com still working? What we found

Hidefromyou.com answers the Internet Archive but not our server. What the record shows, what its address does today, and a proxy list that is checked every few minutes.

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

hidefromyou.com answers somebody. The archive holds a page captured on 26 August 2026; our own request, sent from a data centre, timed out. Both of those can be true at once, and only one of them is about the site being gone.

What sat at this address

The Internet Archive's first working copy of hidefromyou.com is from May 2007 and it holds 153 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "Free Anonymous Web Proxy 2026 - Hide From You [Fast Server]". Underneath it was PHProxy, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

Just enter the server address into the field below, connect to the site through our anonymous remote proxy server and your browsing then becomes fully anonymous: the site you visit will not see your actual IP address.

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 21 May 2026.

The listing that carried it, on the free proxy directory workingproxysites.com, is 13 years old, and that listing counted 3,948 clicks through to it. Its entry gives the country as France.

When it went quiet

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 21 May 2026 and the archive kept visiting until 26 August 2026.

What the name does today

We checked hidefromyou.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 24 May 2007 and is paid until 24 May 2027 through NameSilo, LLC. Its name servers are ns1.dnsowl.com and ns2.dnsowl.com.

What to use instead

Use a list somebody keeps checking rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, and an address that stops answering leaves it instead of sitting there for years. If you already have an address, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.

The limits of free are the same everywhere, ours included: the addresses are shared, so the sites that care have seen them before, and there is no session to hold, so logins break part way through.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is hidefromyou.com still working?
We cannot say it is gone. The Internet Archive captured a page from it on 26 August 2026, while our own request on 10 September 2026 from a data centre address got no answer. That pattern usually means the site refuses data centre traffic rather than that it stopped running.
What was hidefromyou.com?
A free web proxy running the PHProxy script. Its own page said: Just enter the server address into the field below, connect to the site through our anonymous remote proxy server and your browsing then becomes fully anonymous: the site you visit will not see your actual IP address.
What can I use instead of hidefromyou.com?
Start from a list with a visible last-checked time, and test the address before you rely on it. Ours is re-verified every few minutes and the checker tests a single address on demand.
