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

private.telephonepros.com is held rather than run. The name resolves to a holding page, so the site loads and does nothing.

What it was

Almost nothing survives of private.telephonepros.com. The Internet Archive never kept a working page from it, which is common for a site that ran for a season on a free address.

It ran on Glype, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and the directory counted 173 clicks on it. The listing places it in United States.

The address today

We checked private.telephonepros.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers with parked.

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

What we would use

Skip the name-hunting. The free proxy list we publish is re-verified every few minutes and shows exactly when each address last answered, and the checker will test an address from an old bookmark before you rely on it.

The honest caveat stays: a free proxy is shared and short lived, and anything behind a login tends to break part way through.

The limits of this record

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.

One check, one day, one place: that is the honest weight of what we measured, since a site blocking data centre traffic reads exactly like a site that is gone. The next check is due by 1 January 2027.
