71up.com is for sale. The address now shows a listing rather than a proxy, and the last working capture the archive holds is from November 2021.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of 71up.com is from February 2005 and it holds 70 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "71UP Proxy". It ran on Glype, the script behind most free web proxies of that era.
Anonymous web browsing refers to the use of the World Wide Web which hides the personally identifiable information of a user of the websites visited.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 29 November 2021.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 5 years ago, and that listing counted 3,397 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as Japan.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 29 November 2021 and the archive kept visiting until 10 July 2025.
What the name does today
We checked 71up.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Attention Required! | Cloudflare".
What still works
The replacement for a dead web proxy is not another name to remember. Our free proxy list shows when each entry was last checked and re-verifies every few minutes, and the checker tests an address you bring yourself.
Free proxies stay shared and short lived. For opening a blocked page that is usually enough, and for anything that has to work at a particular moment it is not.
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.
