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

Typing russiaproxy.online today gets you a parking page put there by whoever holds the name. The proxy behind it stopped being captured after February 2020.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of russiaproxy.online is from December 2018 and it holds 24 days of captures in total.

Underneath it was PHProxy, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

The Sponsored Listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party.

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 19 December 2018.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 8 years ago, and that listing counted 2,190 clicks through to it.

When it stopped

The last capture that returned a page at all is from 20 February 2020 and the archive kept visiting until 23 December 2021.

By 19 December 2018 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "russiaproxy.online - Registered at Namecheap.com".

What the name does today

We checked russiaproxy.online on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "russiaproxy.online - russiaproxy Resources and Information.".

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.
