The address vipsocks24.net answers, but nothing is there. A parking page sits where the proxy used to be, which the archive last saw working in April 2016.
The site behind the name
The Internet Archive's first working copy of vipsocks24.net is from April 2016 and it holds 68 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "VIP Socks".

How it ended
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from April 23, 2016, and the archive kept visiting until December 26, 2025.
Where the address points now
We checked vipsocks24.net on September 6, 2026, from our own server in Germany. It answers with parked.
The registry record shows the name was registered on April 21, 2016, and is paid until April 21, 2027, through NameSilo, LLC.
What still works
The replacement for a dead web proxy is not another name to remember. Our free proxy list shows when each entry was last checked and re-verifies every few minutes, and the checker tests an address you bring yourself.
Free proxies stay shared and short lived. For opening a blocked page that is usually enough, and for anything that has to work at a particular moment it is not.
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 centers would look the same as one that is switched off. We will check this page again by January 1, 2027.
