There is nothing left at spy.black. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from February 2015.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of spy.black is from February 2015 and it holds 13 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Spy - Bulgaria Web Proxy". The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
VPN and Tor aren't allowed to use on the public computers but Bulgaria web proxy will let you unblock any websites without knowing technical things about computers.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 23 February 2015.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 500 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as Ukraine.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 23 February 2015 and the archive kept visiting until 11 June 2019.
By 10 June 2017 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "spy.black - This website is for sale! - spy Resources and Information.".
What the name does today
We checked spy.black 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.
The registry has no record of the name any more, which means the registration itself lapsed rather than the site simply going quiet.
People still look for it: 320 searches a month for the name, according to Google's Keyword Planner read on 10 September 2026.
Where to go from here
A list with a visible last-checked time beats a remembered domain. Ours re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests a single address if you would rather bring your own.
Expect what free has always meant: shared addresses that targets recognise, and no session persistence, which breaks anything behind a login.
What this page cannot tell you
Why it stopped is not in the record. A dead name and an archive that runs out show that something ended, not the reason for it, and we will not put a reason in print that the record does not carry.
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.
