What happened to Koreaproxy, and what to use instead

Koreaproxy 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.

If you are here because Koreaproxy stopped answering, the short version is that it is not you. The site is unreachable and has been for a while. The rest of this page is the evidence and the replacement.

When it went dark

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

1 working snapshots exist, ending August 2019. Nothing usable was archived after that month.

The final archived page

In August 2019, the last month the archive caught it working, the homepage was titled "Korea Proxy - The Anonymous Proxy". Its headline read "Korea Proxy". The blurb under its search result said: "The Korea proxy server. Online fast Korea proxy browser on the internet. You can reach us from anywhere and anytime from any public computers."

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 2019.

All of that is a record of what was published rather than of what worked. It is here because a reader who paid them deserves to see that the company was real and operating, which the archive settles.

We also track the same brand at koreaproxy.co. Where a shutdown leaves sibling domains behind, they are worth checking before assuming everything stopped.

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.

More of the same record

The same treatment, applied to others that stopped answering:

Where to go now

If you were mid-subscription, cancel any standing card authority first so it cannot be charged again, then check whether the payment is recent enough to dispute. Both are worth doing today rather than after the window closes.

What to look for next time: no expiry on the balance, no minimum commitment, and a price you can reach without a sales call. We meet all three, residential from $0.44 per GB, and so do several others. Measure on your target rather than taking anyone's word, including ours.

Frequently asked questions

Is Koreaproxy 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 Koreaproxy?
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 Koreaproxy?
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.
