Webproxy.xyz is gone: what the record shows, and what to use

Webproxy.xyz was a free web proxy the archive first saved in February 2021. What it was, when it stopped, what the name does today, and a list that is still checked.

Skip the dead lists.

Our free proxy list re-checks every exit every few minutes across 100+ countries, with a live last-checked time, so you copy IPs that worked moments ago, not a stale text dump.

Open the free proxy list

There is nothing left at webproxy.xyz. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from December 2024.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of webproxy.xyz is from February 2021 and it holds 5 days of captures in total.

The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 498 clicks through to it.

When it stopped

The last capture that returned a page at all is from 19 December 2024.

What the name does today

We checked webproxy.xyz on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The name does not resolve: there is no address behind it, so nothing can be served from it.

People still look for it: 30 searches a month for the name, according to Google's Keyword Planner read on 10 September 2026.

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

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 webproxy.xyz still working?
No. The name no longer resolves, which we checked on 10 September 2026 from our own server. The last working page the Internet Archive holds is from December 2024.
What can I use instead of webproxy.xyz?
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.
