Linki.ca is gone: what the record shows, and what to use

Linki.ca was a free web proxy the archive first saved in January 2010. 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.

linki.ca does not answer. The name still resolves, but nothing responded to our request, and the archive's last working copy is from May 2010.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of linki.ca is from January 2010 and it holds 9 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "Linki | The Internet In One Page". The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 6 years ago, and that listing counted 2,846 clicks through to it.

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 27 May 2010 and the archive kept visiting until 15 March 2026.

What the name does today

We checked linki.ca on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Mail Capture Pro".

Where to go from here

A list with a visible last-checked time beats a remembered domain. Ours re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests a single address if you would rather bring your own.

Expect what free has always meant: shared addresses that targets recognise, and no session persistence, which breaks anything behind a login.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is linki.ca still working?
Not from where we checked. On 10 September 2026 the name resolved but nothing answered our request. The last working capture the archive holds is from May 2010.
What can I use instead of linki.ca?
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.
