hiderealip.net does not exist any more. The name stopped resolving, so a browser cannot even find a server to ask, and the last time anything answered there was October 2016.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of hiderealip.net is from July 2012 and it holds 68 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Hide Real IP - Hide your Real IP Address and surf anonymously". It ran on Glype, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.
Hiderealip.net - Hide your IP Address and surf anonymously Hiderealip.net Share with your friends: Hiderealip.net - Hide your IP Address and surf anonymously Hiderealip.net is a free, fast and reliable web proxy with no popup ads.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 20 July 2012.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 293 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 17 October 2016 and the archive kept visiting until 19 November 2016.
What the name does today
We checked hiderealip.net 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.
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
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.
