Dutchproxy appears to have shut down. That sentence is doing careful work: what we can show is a dead site and an archive that stops, which is evidence of an ending and not of a reason.
When it went dark
Every request we made on 9 September 2026 failed, the last with ENOTFOUND. Nothing responds on that name over either protocol.
The Internet Archive holds 15 working captures, the last in July 2023. After that the crawler found nothing worth keeping, which is the closest thing to a date of death the record offers.
The final archived page
In July 2023 the crawler no longer found a working page: what it kept was an error response, 405 Method Not Allowed.
A third party kept that, which is why it is quotable. It records what was being claimed, and says nothing about whether the claims held up.
What was there
The archive first captured a working page in August 2018.
All of that is a record of what was published rather than of what worked. It is here because someone who used it deserves to see that the site was real and running, which the archive settles.
The rest of the trail
On the operator we hold nothing beyond the registration record, and the name is free to register again.
One limit worth stating plainly: none of the above explains why. A dead domain and an archive that stops are evidence of an ending, not of a cause, and we will not guess at one in public. If you know what happened, we would rather print your account than our speculation.
Others that stopped
Other shutdowns we hold the registration and archive trail for:
- What happened to Proxii
- What happened to Proxy1
- What happened to Proxy2019
- What happened to Proxycat
- What happened to Proxychain
- What happened to ProxyFire
