There is nothing left at francewebproxy.nu. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from March 2015.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of francewebproxy.nu is from July 2014 and it holds 11 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "France Web Proxy". The directory recorded it as a PHProxy install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
France web proxy lets you hide your IP address behind the firewall.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 25 July 2014.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and that listing counted 631 clicks through to it.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 14 March 2015 and the archive kept visiting until 29 March 2018.
By 29 March 2018 the same address answered with something else: the capture from that day is titled "The domain name francewebproxy.nu is for sale | Undeveloped".
What the name does today
We checked francewebproxy.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
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.
