There is nothing left at performanc.tk. The domain no longer resolves at all, and the archive's last working copy of the site is from October 2013.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of performanc.tk is from October 2013 and it holds 2 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Hide Traces". 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, 13 years ago, and 195 people clicked through from there.
The end of it
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 23 October 2013 and the archive kept visiting until 10 January 2016.
A free proxy on a free domain has the lifespan of the domain. .tk names came from Freenom at no cost, Freenom stopped handing them out in early 2023 under legal pressure from Meta, and the existing ones stopped answering during the year that followed. That is why almost the entire directory went quiet at once rather than one site at a time.
The address today
We checked performanc.tk 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.
