Shut down

What happened to Earthvpn, and what to use instead

Earthvpn has stopped answering. The registration and archive record, what the site looked like while it traded, and what to do if you were a customer.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Earthvpn 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

Three requests on 9 September 2026, https, www and http, all failed with timeout. There is no server left behind that name.

Wayback has it working until October 2023 and not after, across 107 captures. Treat that month as approximate.

The final archived page

The last working capture is from October 2023. Its title read "Anonymous VPN Service SSTP,PPTP,L2TP,OpenVPN Provider - 54 Countries 190 Locations - EarthVPN".

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 they sold

The archive first captured a working page in May 2009.

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 27 January 2013 through NameCheap, Inc.. That makes the name about 13 years old. Someone renewed it through 27 January 2034 despite the site being gone. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026.

People still search for the name: Google reports about 10 searches a month worldwide carrying it, read on 9 September 2026. Demand outlives a company by years, which is why old reviews of dead providers keep ranking and keep costing readers money.

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.

Also gone

We keep the same record for these, each re-checked the day it was written:

Where former customers end up

If you still have money or traffic sitting with them, the realistic options are a chargeback if the payment is recent enough for your card scheme, and a written record of what you paid for. Prepaid balances with a company that has stopped answering are rarely recovered any other way.

Choosing a replacement: weight the terms as heavily as the price. A balance that expires and a large minimum top-up are the two features that turn a shutdown into a real loss. Ours does neither, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB. That is our pitch, and the honest advice underneath it applies whoever you pick.

Frequently asked questions

Is Earthvpn 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 Earthvpn?
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.
Can I get my money back?
If the payment is recent enough to fall inside your card scheme's dispute window, a chargeback is usually the only realistic route once a provider stops answering. Cancel any recurring authority at your bank rather than on their site, and keep receipts and support threads as evidence.
What should I use instead of Earthvpn?
Weight the terms as heavily as the price, because an expiring balance and a large minimum top-up are what turn a shutdown into a real loss. Whatever you shortlist, run a small paid test on your own target before moving volume, and keep prepaid exposure small until a provider has earned more.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
