What happened to systemsetup.tk: the dated record

Systemsetup.tk was a free web proxy. 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

systemsetup.tk answers nothing today, because the name itself was given up. A browser asking for it gets no address back at all.

The site it used to be

Systemsetup.tk left very little behind. There is no archived copy of it, only the listing it was given and the state of the name now.

The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

A directory of free web proxies, workingproxysites.com, took the listing 13 years ago, and 121 people clicked through from there.

When it stopped

The ending explains the timing. .tk was free through Freenom, which is exactly why so many one-page proxies used it, and when Freenom froze registrations in early 2023 the whole layer went with it. Our check of all 8,948 listed sites found 8,831 names that no longer exist.

What answers there now

We checked systemsetup.tk on 10 September 2026 from our own server. Nothing resolves. The lookup comes back empty, which means no server can even be reached, let alone a proxy.

A working replacement

The useful thing is not another proxy name, it is a list somebody re-checks. Ours drops entries the moment they stop answering, and the checker will tell you whether an address you already have still relays anything.

Free proxies remain shared and short lived, which is fine for opening one blocked page and wrong for anything that has to hold a session.

What we could not establish

No public document explains the ending. We can date it and describe it; anything about motive would be invention, and this page prints none.

This is a single reading from a single vantage point. A proxy that turns away data centre addresses would give us the same silence as a proxy that no longer exists. We recheck by 1 January 2027.

Frequently asked questions

Is systemsetup.tk still working?
No. The name no longer resolves, which we checked on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The Internet Archive holds no working copy of it either.
What can I use instead of systemsetup.tk?
A list that is re-checked rather than a name someone remembers. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so entries that stop answering drop off it. Free proxies stay shared and short lived, so anything behind a login will still break.

Get proxies that are alive right now

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. When the location has to survive a real check, the paid network holds up.
