Shut down

What happened to Lunaproxy, and what to use instead

Looking for Lunaproxy? It no longer answers. Here is the dated evidence, stated only as far as it goes, and the honest replacement.

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.

Lunaproxy 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 45 working captures, the last in January 2026. After that the crawler found nothing worth keeping, which is the closest thing to a date of death the record offers.

What it said about itself at the end

The last working capture is from January 2026. Its title read "LunaProxy - Top Proxy Service Provider with Over 200 Million IPs". Its headline read "The Most Value Residential Proxy Service Provider". The blurb under its search result said: "LunaProxy is one of the best and cheapest residential proxy service providers with over 200 million residential and static proxies to give you an edge for your scraping proxy use case!"

Preserved copy has one advantage over a live page: it cannot be edited after the fact. What it shows is the promise, not the product.

What was there

The archive first captured a working page in December 2016.

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.

Registration and expiry

The name was first registered on 26 August 2022 at Aceville Pte. Ltd.. About 4 years, then, from first registration to now. It is paid up to 26 August 2027, so the name is held even though nothing sits on it. Registry data read 23 April 2026.

On the company itself we hold: Was one of a dozen-plus Hong Kong brands under IPIDEA.

People still search for the name: Google reports about 40 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.

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.

Also gone

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

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 Lunaproxy 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 Lunaproxy?
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.
Why does Lunaproxy still show up in reviews?
Because affiliate reviews are rarely revisited once they rank. Search demand for a dead provider outlives the company by years, and the pages recommending it keep earning, which is why a dated check like this one is worth more than a five-star roundup.
