vtunnelbrowser.com is gone in the most literal sense: the name itself no longer exists in the domain system. The last page anyone saved from it dates to January 2014.
The site behind the name
The Internet Archive's first working copy of vtunnelbrowser.com is from March 2013 and it holds 128 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "VTunnel Proxy Site". Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.
This proxy site thus allows you to visit Facebook and MySpace even though thye are blocked.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 30 March 2013.
Somebody submitted it to workingproxysites.com 13 years ago, and that listing counted 1,942 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 21 January 2014 and the archive kept visiting until 27 March 2022.
By 1 November 2019 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "vtunnelbrowser.com domain name is for sale. Inquire now.".
Where the address points now
We checked vtunnelbrowser.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server. No address comes back for it at all, so a browser gives up before it can ask for a page.
The registry has no record of the name any more, which means the registration itself lapsed rather than the site simply going quiet.
People still look for it: 10 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.
