Start here: private front ends with no account, no email, and iPhone 7 support

What a private front end is, how we test, and the list that works on an iPhone 7 today.
November 9, 2026 by

A private front end shows you the content of a big site, such as YouTube or SoundCloud, through a lighter page that someone else runs. You do not log in, you do not give an email address, and the big site sees the front end's server instead of you.

Every guide in this section was written from the project's own source code and documentation, and every instance was checked on 9 November 2026 from two different networks with the user agent of Safari on iOS 15.8. iOS 15.8 is the newest system for an iPhone 7, and its Safari has the features of Safari 15.6. Talk about the section in the Privacy Enjoyers forum.

Quickest way in: paste a YouTube, SoundCloud, Genius, Medium, Fandom or similar link into the link converter and get the private version. Each guide below also names one address that worked on 9 November 2026.

No account, no email, and it works on an iPhone 7

These front ends returned real content on 9 November 2026, need no account and no email address, and use pages that Safari 15.6 can show. None was tested on a real iPhone 7 yet: if you have one, tell us in the forum.

How we test

  • We start from the public instance lists of LibRedirect, Invidious and Redlib.
  • For each instance we open the start page and one real content page (a search, a profile, an article, a song), from two networks, and record the result: works, bot check, loads, moved or down.
  • For iPhone 7 support we scan the site's scripts for language features that Safari 15.6 lacks, such as class static blocks (Safari 16.4), and we check whether video or audio needs Media Source Extensions, which iPhones on iOS 15 do not have.
  • We read the project's own repository for its licence, its last code change, and whether it is archived.

Shut down or unsafe on 9 November 2026

  • Farside (farside.link), the site that sent you to a working instance automatically, has shut down; its developer says bot checks made instance checks unreliable.
  • tubo.media now forwards to an unrelated domain. Do not use it.
  • Nitter is under legal demands from X Corp. and its repository is archived; Hyperpipe and SafeTwitch are archived too.
  • The ProxiTok instance proxitok.r4fo.com was retired on the day we checked.
