What happened to myviddy.net: the dated record

Myviddy.net was a free web proxy the archive first saved in July 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

myviddy.net answers nothing today, because the name itself was given up. A browser asking for it gets no address back at all, and the last saved copy of the site is from March 2019.

The site it used to be

The Internet Archive's first working copy of myviddy.net is from July 2012 and it holds 27 days of captures in total.

The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

A directory of free web proxies, workingproxysites.com, took the listing 12 years ago, and 288 people clicked through from there.

When it stopped

The last capture that returned a page at all is from 5 March 2019 and the archive kept visiting until 12 September 2019.

What answers there now

We checked myviddy.net on 10 September 2026 from our own server. Nothing resolves. The lookup comes back empty, which means no server can even be reached, let alone a proxy.

A working replacement

The useful thing is not another proxy name, it is a list somebody re-checks. Ours drops entries the moment they stop answering, and the checker will tell you whether an address you already have still relays anything.

Free proxies remain shared and short lived, which is fine for opening one blocked page and wrong for anything that has to hold a session.

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 myviddy.net still working?
No. The name no longer resolves, which we checked on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The last working page the Internet Archive holds is from March 2019.
What can I use instead of myviddy.net?
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.

Get proxies that are alive right now

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. When the location has to survive a real check, the paid network holds up.
