Motherproxy.com is gone: what the record shows, and what to use

Motherproxy.com was a free web proxy the archive first saved in December 2012. 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

motherproxy.com is for sale. The address now shows a listing rather than a proxy, and the last working capture the archive holds is from December 2012.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of motherproxy.com is from December 2012 and it holds 42 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "Web Proxy | How to unblock Internet from local computers".

We save you from administrative bureaucracy, making a secure tunnel between blocked websites & you, from which local network restrictions are safely bypassed.

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 17 December 2012.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 13 years ago, and that listing counted 1,026 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 December 2012 and the archive kept visiting until 12 July 2025.

What the name does today

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

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

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.
