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

Typing opengate.ubertom.com today gets you a parking page put there by whoever holds the name.

What sat at this address

The public record of opengate.ubertom.com is thin. No archive holds a working copy of it, so what is left is the directory entry it was given and what the name does today.

Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

The listing that carried it, on the free proxy directory workingproxysites.com, is 12 years old, and that listing counted 718 clicks through to it. Its entry gives the country as United States.

What the name does today

We checked opengate.ubertom.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "porkbun.com | expired domain".

The registry has no record of the name any more, which means the registration itself lapsed rather than the site simply going quiet.

What to use instead

Use a list somebody keeps checking rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, and an address that stops answering leaves it instead of sitting there for years. If you already have an address, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.

The limits of free are the same everywhere, ours included: the addresses are shared, so the sites that care have seen them before, and there is no session to hold, so logins break part way through.

Where the record runs out

There is no account of who ran it or why they stopped. Small sites like this one leave dates behind, not explanations, and we would rather say so than fill the gap.

Treat the check as one sample: taken on one day, from one network. Anything refusing data centre traffic looks identical to something switched off. Due for a recheck by 1 January 2027.
