Shut down

What happened to Proxylive, and what to use instead

Proxylive is gone. What the public record shows about when, what the site carried, and how to pick a replacement that fails less badly.

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.

If you are here because Proxylive stopped answering, the short version is that it is not you. The site is unreachable and has been for a while. The rest of this page is the evidence and the replacement.

When it went dark

Every request we made on 9 September 2026 failed, the last with ENOTFOUND. Nothing responds on that name over either protocol.

The archive stops returning a real page after October 2019, having kept 10 of them. Crawls continued; the site did not.

What the last capture shows

The final good capture, October 2019, carried the title "proxylive.online".

Read it as the pitch rather than the product. Its value is that the Internet Archive holds it independently of us and of them, so anyone can check the quotation.

What was there

The archive first captured a working page in October 2017.

All of that is a record of what was published rather than of what worked. It is here because someone who used it deserves to see that the site was real and running, which the archive settles.

One limit worth stating plainly: none of the above explains why. A dead domain and an archive that stops are evidence of an ending, not of a cause, and we will not guess at one in public. If you know what happened, we would rather print your account than our speculation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Proxylive really gone?
We re-checked the domain on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http. Nothing answered on any of them. That is evidence of a shutdown rather than proof of one, and it is the strongest evidence the public web offers.
What happened to Proxylive?
We do not know, and we will not guess in public. The record shows when the site stopped being captured and that it no longer answers. It says nothing about the reason, and every confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown that we have read traces back to a forum rumour.
What should I use instead of Proxylive?
Start from a list that shows when each entry was last verified. Ours is re-checked every few minutes. Whatever you use, open the target site through it once before you rely on it, because a free proxy that worked this morning may be blocked by lunchtime.
