Somebody searching for Franceproxy today is usually one of two people: a customer who cannot log in, or a buyer who found an old review. This page is for both, and it starts with the dates.

What the site does today

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

1 working snapshots exist, ending October 2018. Nothing usable was archived after that month.

The final archived page

The last working capture is from October 2018. Its title read "Proxy France". For search engines it described itself as: "Maybe you don"

Read it as the pitch rather than the product. Its value is that the Internet Archive holds it independently of us and of them, so anyone can check the quotation.

The site, while it lasted

The archive first captured a working page in October 2018.

So the business existed and had a product. Whether it was any good is not something the record can settle.

Other names attached to this one

On the operator we hold nothing beyond the registration record, and the name is free to register again.

What this page cannot tell you is the reason. Companies close for ordinary reasons far more often than dramatic ones, and the public record does not distinguish between them. Everything above is a date or a capture; none of it is a motive.

Others that stopped

Others in this market that ended, checked the same way:

The honest replacement

Practical first step for a former customer: stop any recurring payment at your bank rather than on their site, since their site is not there to stop it on. Then check your dispute window.

Frequently asked questions

Is Franceproxy 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 Franceproxy?
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 Franceproxy?
A list that is re-checked rather than a name someone remembers. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so an address that stops answering drops off it instead of sitting there for years. Free proxies stay shared and short-lived, so anything that needs a login will still break.
