proxy-list.org was serving normally on 16 September 2026, under the title "1 minute ago checked proxy servers - Free proxy list service since 2004 year! Almost 10 ye".
What it was
Proxy-List.org publishes other people's proxy addresses as a list of IP and port pairs. It is run independently, not by a proxy seller.
Shared /blog/proxy-list-alternative with proxy-list.download, a different company. Each needs its own page. Its own page says "Free proxy list service since 2004 year".
The record, with dates
The registry record for proxy-list.org says the name was registered on 27 November 2005, its term runs to 27 November 2027, the registrar of record is PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Read on 17 September 2026.
What we checked, and how
We asked proxy-list.org ourselves on 16 September 2026, from a datacenter connection in Germany, following redirects by hand so the chain is on the record. What came back: 1 minute ago checked proxy servers - Free proxy list service since 2004 year! Almost 10 ye (HTTP 200). We did not read the site from a home connection and we did not save its pages; the result above is the whole of what we took.
What to use instead
A free list is a list of other people's machines, and it behaves like one: the addresses that answer at breakfast are gone by lunch, the country label is often wrong, and anything you send through one is readable by whoever runs the exit. That is true of every name on this page, alive or gone.
If you are testing whether a target blocks proxies at all, a free list is fine and costs nothing. If the job has to finish, has to come from a country you chose, or carries a login, it needs addresses somebody is accountable for. What we sell starts at $0.44 per GB, pay as you go, with no plan to reach first.
Our own maintained lists are here, and the wider picture of which of these sites still work is in our census of free proxy sites.
The limits of this record
- We checked once, on one day, from one place.
- The Internet Archive returned no usable capture index for proxy-list.org when we read it, so this page carries no archive history for the site.
- We do not know who runs it, where the addresses come from, or whether anyone tests them before publishing. Nobody in this corner of the market publishes that.
This page is due for a re-check by 16 March 2027, or sooner if the status above changes.
