Typing webproxy.se today gets you a parking page put there by whoever holds the name. The proxy behind it stopped being captured after November 2018.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of webproxy.se is from April 2010 and it holds 12 days of captures in total.
The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
You can unblock these websites through the Sweden proxy server.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 30 August 2017.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 9 years ago, and that listing counted 597 clicks through to it.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 16 November 2018 and the archive kept visiting until 24 March 2023.
What the name does today
We checked webproxy.se on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Parked at Loopia".
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.
