Workingproxy.se is gone: what the record shows, and what to use

Workingproxy.se was a free web proxy the archive first saved in August 2014. 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 workingproxy.se. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from June 2017.

What it was

The Internet Archive's first working copy of workingproxy.se is from August 2014 and it holds 7 days of captures in total.

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

Sweden hidden proxy works as a medium between your computer and the website where the firewall has blocked to access.

That is the site's own description, from the capture of 22 August 2014.

It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 465 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as Latvia.

When it stopped

The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 11 June 2017 and the archive kept visiting until 19 April 2018.

By 19 April 2018 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "The domain name workingproxy.se is for sale | Undeveloped".

What the name does today

We checked workingproxy.se 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.

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 workingproxy.se 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 June 2017.
What was workingproxy.se?
A free web proxy running the PHProxy script. Its own page said: Sweden hidden proxy works as a medium between your computer and the website where the firewall has blocked to access.
What can I use instead of workingproxy.se?
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.
