proxytool.sx2.name resolves to an address that stays silent. Our request got no reply at all.
What it was
The public record of proxytool.sx2.name is thin. No archive holds a working copy of it, so what is left is the directory entry it was given and what the name does today.
Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 326 clicks through to it. Its entry gives the country as United States.
The address today
We checked proxytool.sx2.name on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Site proxytool.sx2.name not configured".
What to use instead
Use a list somebody keeps checking rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, and an address that stops answering leaves it instead of sitting there for years. If you already have an address, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.
The limits of free are the same everywhere, ours included: the addresses are shared, so the sites that care have seen them before, and there is no session to hold, so logins 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.
