videoproxy.in 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 2015.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of videoproxy.in is from November 2014 and it holds 28 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Video Proxy - Proxy Site for streaming videos". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
It can also be used for unblocking sites other than video sites.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 18 November 2014.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 227 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as France.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 15 August 2015 and the archive kept visiting until 9 June 2026.
By 9 June 2026 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "Parking Page".
What the name does today
We checked videoproxy.in on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Title nè".
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
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.
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.
