Looking for withwhat.tk? The record, and the replacement

Withwhat.tk was a free web proxy the archive first saved in August 2013. 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

withwhat.tk answers nothing today, because the name itself was given up. A browser asking for it gets no address back at all, and the last saved copy of the site is from August 2013.

The site behind the name

The Internet Archive's first working copy of withwhat.tk is from August 2013 and it holds 5 days of captures in total.

The page called itself "Hide Traces". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.

Somebody submitted it to workingproxysites.com 13 years ago, and 211 people clicked through from there.

How it ended

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 28 August 2013 and the archive kept visiting until 11 September 2019.

This was not a site that failed on its own. .tk was one of five free domain endings run by Freenom, which froze new registrations in early 2023 after a lawsuit from Meta, and the free names died with the arrangement. In our census of the directory, 92 percent of the listed proxies sat on one of those free endings.

Where the address points now

We checked withwhat.tk 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.

A working replacement

The useful thing is not another proxy name, it is a list somebody re-checks. Ours drops entries the moment they stop answering, and the checker will tell you whether an address you already have still relays anything.

Free proxies remain shared and short lived, which is fine for opening one blocked page and wrong for anything that has to hold a session.

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 withwhat.tk 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 August 2013.
What can I use instead of withwhat.tk?
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.
