proxyyoutube.in is somebody else's site now. The address answers, but what loads has nothing to do with the proxy that used to be there, whose last working capture dates to May 2025.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of proxyyoutube.in is from March 2011 and it holds 24 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Proxy Youtube - Proxy Site for unblocking Youtube". Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.
It can also be used for unblocking sites other than youtube.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 3 July 2015.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 521 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as France.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 21 May 2025.
What the name does today
We checked proxyyoutube.in on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Title nè".
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.
What this page cannot tell you
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.
Our status check is one day from one vantage point, and a site that refuses requests from data centres would look the same as one that is switched off. We will check this page again by 1 January 2027.
