proxyfrance.org does not exist any more. The name stopped resolving, so a browser cannot even find a server to ask, and the last time anything answered there was August 2018.
The site it used to be
The Internet Archive's first working copy of proxyfrance.org is from June 2017 and it holds 10 days of captures in total.
It ran on PHProxy, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.
A directory of free web proxies, workingproxysites.com, took the listing 9 years ago, and the directory counted 424 clicks on it.
When it stopped
The last capture that returned a page at all is from 9 August 2018.
By 9 August 2018 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "proxyfrance.org - proxyfrance Resources and Information. This website is for sale!".
What answers there now
We checked proxyfrance.org on 10 September 2026 from our own server. Nothing resolves. The lookup comes back empty, which means no server can even be reached, let alone a proxy.
What still works
The replacement for a dead web proxy is not another name to remember. Our free proxy list shows when each entry was last checked and re-verifies every few minutes, and the checker tests an address you bring yourself.
Free proxies stay shared and short lived. For opening a blocked page that is usually enough, and for anything that has to work at a particular moment it is not.
What we could not establish
No public document explains the ending. We can date it and describe it; anything about motive would be invention, and this page prints none.
This is a single reading from a single vantage point. A proxy that turns away data centre addresses would give us the same silence as a proxy that no longer exists. We recheck by 1 January 2027.
