turkeyproxy.net 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 August 2017.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of turkeyproxy.net is from August 2017 and it holds 6 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Turkey Proxy - Free Proxy Site". The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
Turkey Proxy is the TR web proxy server which works as a medium between the school computer and the websites.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 1 August 2017.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 9 years ago, and that listing counted 773 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as Turkey.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 1 August 2017 and the archive kept visiting until 26 December 2021.
What the name does today
We checked turkeyproxy.net on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Buy Turkey Proxy, Premium Turkish IP Addresses".
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.
