Octoberproxy no longer answers. We re-checked it the day this page was written, over three routes, and nothing came back. The record of the years before that is below.
When the lights went out
Nothing answered on 9 September 2026, the error being ENOTFOUND. Not a redirect, not a holding page. Silence.
Archive coverage stops at December 2018, after 3 good captures. The crawler kept visiting. There was nothing left to save.
The site, in its own words
The final good capture, December 2018, carried the title "Web Proxy Server Free Fresh Proxy Server Unblock Proxy Server Access Banned Websites". Above the fold it said "octoberproxy.ml Glype® proxy". Its search snippet read: "Web Proxy and Web proxy server are two terms used by midway net users. A proxy refers to a site, which can be use to blocked information. In extra words, without any restrictions, you can acquire access to any information over the internet with the use of proxy server websites."
The company is describing itself there, preserved by a third party. It is the closest a reader gets to seeing what they signed up for. Marketing, not evidence of quality, but nobody can quietly revise it now.
What they sold
The archive first captured a working page in October 2018.
The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.
Other names attached to this one
We also track the same brand at octoberproxy.tk. Where a shutdown leaves sibling domains behind, they are worth checking before assuming everything stopped.
We stop short of a cause deliberately. The registration and archive trail shows when things stopped and nothing about why, and the difference between those two claims is the difference between a fact and a defamation.
Others that stopped
Other shutdowns we hold the registration and archive trail for:
- What happened to Proxylive
- What happened to ProxyRain
- What happened to Proxyrbl
- What happened to ProxyTurkey
- What happened to Proxyyoutube
- What happened to Puroproxies
What to use instead
Use a list that is re-checked rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so entries that stop answering fall off it. If you already have an address from an old bookmark, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.
Free proxies are shared, which means the sites that care have usually seen the address before you arrive, and they hold no session, so logins tend to break halfway through. That is the honest shape of free, ours included.
