Proxycloud.xyz stopped working: the record, and the replacement

Proxycloud.xyz was a free web proxy the archive first saved in December 2021. 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

proxycloud.xyz is held rather than run. The name resolves to a holding page, so the site loads and does nothing; the proxy itself was last captured in July 2025.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of proxycloud.xyz is from December 2021 and it holds 3 days of captures in total.

It ran on PHProxy, 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 243 clicks on it.

The end of it

and the archive kept visiting until 10 July 2025.

The address today

We checked proxycloud.xyz on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers with parked.

The registry record shows the name was registered on 16 June 2026 and is paid until 16 June 2027 through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com. Its name servers are ns5.afternic.com and ns6.afternic.com.

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.
