What happened to history.paymeone.com: the dated record

History.paymeone.com was a free web proxy. What it was, when it stopped, what the name does today, and a list that is still checked.

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

history.paymeone.com is for sale. The address now shows a listing rather than a proxy.

The site it used to be

The public record of history.paymeone.com is thin. No archive holds a working copy of it, so what is left is the directory entry it was given and what the name does today.

Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

A directory of free web proxies, workingproxysites.com, took the listing 12 years ago, and that listing counted 258 clicks through to it. Its entry gives the country as United States.

What answers there now

We checked history.paymeone.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Just a moment...".

The registry has no record of the name any more, which means the registration itself lapsed rather than the site simply going quiet.

The replacement

What this site did, a page you browse through, is worth less now than a list you can test. Our free proxy list carries a last-checked time on every entry and re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests any single address you bring.

None of that makes free proxies reliable. They are shared, so targets have seen the address before, and they hold no session, which breaks logins.

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 centre addresses would give us the same silence as a proxy that no longer exists. We recheck by 1 January 2027.

Frequently asked questions

Is history.paymeone.com still working?
No. The address loads, but what answers is a holding page rather than a proxy, checked on 10 September 2026. The last working capture in the Internet Archive is from null.
What can I use instead of history.paymeone.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.
