98432.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 it used to be
The Internet Archive's first working copy of 98432.tk is from August 2013 and it holds 6 days of captures in total.
The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
A directory of free web proxies, workingproxysites.com, took the listing 13 years ago, and 260 people clicked through from there.
When it stopped
The last capture that returned a page at all is from 1 August 2013 and the archive kept visiting until 7 January 2018.
The ending explains the timing. .tk was free through Freenom, which is exactly why so many one-page proxies used it, and when Freenom froze registrations in early 2023 the whole layer went with it. Our check of all 8,948 listed sites found 8,831 names that no longer exist.
What answers there now
We checked 98432.tk on 10 September 2026 from our own server. Nothing resolves. The lookup comes back empty, which means no server can even be reached, let alone a proxy.
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 we could not establish
No public document explains the ending. We can date it and describe it; anything about motive would be invention, and this page prints none.
This is a single reading from a single vantage point. A proxy that turns away data centre addresses would give us the same silence as a proxy that no longer exists. We recheck by 1 January 2027.
