What happened to unblocked.us: the dated record

Unblocked.us was a free web proxy the archive first saved in February 2007. What it was, when it stopped, what the name does today, and a list that is still checked.

The address unblocked.us answers, but nothing is there. A parking page sits where the proxy used to be, which the archive last saw working in February 2007.

The site behind the name

The Internet Archive's first working copy of unblocked.us is from February 2007 and it holds 30 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "Unblocked.us - Unblock yourself!". Underneath it was PHProxy, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.

Somebody submitted it to workingproxysites.com 13 years ago, and that listing counted 497 clicks through to it. Its entry gives the country as United States.

How it ended

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 2 February 2007 and the archive kept visiting until 12 August 2024.

Where the address points now

We checked unblocked.us on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers with parked.

The registry record shows the name was registered on 2 July 2013 and is paid until 1 July 2027 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Its name servers are ns2.namefind.com and ns1.namefind.com.

People still look for it: 2900 searches a month for the name, according to Google's Keyword Planner read on 10 September 2026.

The replacement

What this site did, a page you browse through, is worth less now than a list you can test. Our free proxy list carries a last-checked time on every entry and re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests any single address you bring.

None of that makes free proxies reliable. They are shared, so targets have seen the address before, and they hold no session, which breaks logins.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is unblocked.us still working?
No. The address loads, but what answers is a holding page rather than a proxy, checked on 10 September 2026. The last working capture in the Internet Archive is from February 2007.
What can I use instead of unblocked.us?
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.
