Secureproxy.nu stopped working: the record, and the replacement

Secureproxy.nu was a free web proxy the archive first saved in January 2016. What it was, when it stopped, what the name does today, and a list that is still checked.

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

If you came looking for secureproxy.nu, stop here: the address has no server behind it and has not served a page since March 2018.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of secureproxy.nu is from January 2016 and it holds 21 days of captures in total.

It ran on PHProxy, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and the directory counted 322 clicks on it. The listing places it in United States.

The end of it

The last capture that returned a page at all is from 14 March 2018.

By 14 March 2018 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "The domain name secureproxy.nu is for sale | Undeveloped".

The address today

We checked secureproxy.nu on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The name does not resolve: there is no address behind it, so nothing can be served from it.

What we would use

Skip the name-hunting. The free proxy list we publish is re-verified every few minutes and shows exactly when each address last answered, and the checker will test an address from an old bookmark before you rely on it.

The honest caveat stays: a free proxy is shared and short lived, and anything behind a login tends to 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.
