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

internet-proxy.tk is gone in the most literal sense: the name itself no longer exists in the domain system. The last page anyone saved from it dates to February 2010.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of internet-proxy.tk is from February 2010 and it holds 4 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "internet-proxy : free anonymouse web proxy". Underneath it was PHProxy, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

Subscribe fresh proxy Email: internet-proxy.tk is web proxy and definition about web proxy is : A proxy that focuses on World Wide Web traffic is called a "web proxy".

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 15 February 2010.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 13 years ago, and that listing counted 2,075 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as Russian Federation.

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 15 February 2010 and the archive kept visiting until 1 May 2010.

By 1 May 2010 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "Internet-proxy.tk - internet proxy Resources and Information.This website is for sale!".

What the name does today

We checked internet-proxy.tk 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.

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.

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.
