There is nothing left at new.skyfullofbats.com. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from July 2014.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of new.skyfullofbats.com is from July 2014 and it holds 1 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Free Web Proxy|Free VPN Accounts|Free SSH Accounts". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 12 years ago, and 288 people clicked through from there. The directory recorded it as United States.
The end of it
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 23 July 2014.
The address today
We checked new.skyfullofbats.com 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.
The limits of this record
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.
One check, one day, one place: that is the honest weight of what we measured, since a site blocking data centre traffic reads exactly like a site that is gone. The next check is due by 1 January 2027.
