There is nothing left at cloak.nu. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from September 2017.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of cloak.nu is from May 2017 and it holds 9 days of captures in total.
The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
The Sponsored Listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 16 May 2017.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 474 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 12 September 2017.
What the name does today
We checked cloak.nu 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.
