Shut down

What happened to Didaxis, and what to use instead

Didaxis is gone. What the public record shows about when, what the site carried, and how to pick a replacement that fails less badly.

Skip the dead lists.

Our free proxy list re-checks every exit every few minutes across 100+ countries, with a live last-checked time, so you copy IPs that worked moments ago, not a stale text dump.

Didaxis no longer answers. We re-checked it the day this page was written, over three routes, and nothing came back. The record of the years before that is below.

When the lights went out

We tried three routes to it on 9 September 2026 and all three failed (ENOTFOUND). Nothing is listening.

The last working page the archive caught was in January 2022, out of 78 good snapshots. Coverage is not continuous, so read it as roughly when.

What they sold

The archive first captured a working page in October 2007.

The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.

What the registry shows

The domain was registered on 20 July 2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Someone renewed it through 20 July 2027 despite the site being gone. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026.

We stop short of a cause deliberately. The registration and archive trail shows when things stopped and nothing about why, and the difference between those two claims is the difference between a fact and a defamation.

Others that stopped

Other shutdowns we hold the registration and archive trail for:

What to use instead

Use a list that is re-checked rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so entries that stop answering fall off it. If you already have an address from an old bookmark, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.

Free proxies are shared, which means the sites that care have usually seen the address before you arrive, and they hold no session, so logins tend to break halfway through. That is the honest shape of free, ours included.

Frequently asked questions

Is Didaxis really gone?
We re-checked the domain on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http. Nothing answered on any of them. That is evidence of a shutdown rather than proof of one, and it is the strongest evidence the public web offers.
What happened to Didaxis?
We do not know, and we will not guess in public. The record shows when the site stopped being captured and that it no longer answers. It says nothing about the reason, and every confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown that we have read traces back to a forum rumour.
What should I use instead of Didaxis?
Nothing that promises to be Didaxis again. Use a list with a visible last-checked time, test the address before you trust it, and expect a free proxy to fail on any site that cares about proxy traffic. Our free list is re-verified every few minutes and the checker tests one address on demand.
