If you are here because Koreaproxy stopped answering, the short version is that it is not you. The site is unreachable and has been for a while. The rest of this page is the evidence and the replacement.

When it went dark

Three requests on 9 September 2026, https, www and http, all failed with ENOTFOUND. There is no server left behind that name.

1 working snapshots exist, ending August 2019. Nothing usable was archived after that month.

The final archived page

In August 2019, the last month the archive caught it working, the homepage was titled "Korea Proxy - The Anonymous Proxy". Its headline read "Korea Proxy". The blurb under its search result said: "The Korea proxy server. Online fast Korea proxy browser on the internet. You can reach us from anywhere and anytime from any public computers."

A third party kept that, which is why it is quotable. It records what was being claimed, and says nothing about whether the claims held up.

What was there

The archive first captured a working page in August 2019.

All of that is a record of what was published rather than of what worked. It is here because someone who used it deserves to see that the site was real and running, which the archive settles.

We also track the same brand at koreaproxy.co. Where a shutdown leaves sibling domains behind, they are worth checking before assuming everything stopped.

One limit worth stating plainly: none of the above explains why. A dead domain and an archive that stops are evidence of an ending, not of a cause, and we will not guess at one in public. If you know what happened, we would rather print your account than our speculation.

More of the same record

Where to go now

Frequently asked questions

Is Koreaproxy really gone?
We re-checked the domain on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http. Nothing answered on any of them. That is evidence of a shutdown rather than proof of one, and it is the strongest evidence the public web offers.
What happened to Koreaproxy?
We do not know, and we will not guess in public. The record shows when the site stopped being captured and that it no longer answers. It says nothing about the reason, and every confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown that we have read traces back to a forum rumour.
What should I use instead of Koreaproxy?
Start from a list that shows when each entry was last verified. Ours is re-checked every few minutes. Whatever you use, open the target site through it once before you rely on it, because a free proxy that worked this morning may be blocked by lunchtime.
