This is an obituary written from public records rather than gossip. PremProxy has stopped answering, and the registration and archive trail is the only honest account of it available.
When the lights went out
The domain now shows a for-sale placeholder, checked 9 September 2026. Whoever holds it is selling it rather than using it.
The last working page the archive caught was in June 2026, out of 55 good snapshots. Coverage is not continuous, so read it as roughly when.
The final archived page
The last capture, June 2026, shows a holding page titled "premproxy.com - Premium Domain for Sale". Above the fold it said "premproxy.com".
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 2017.
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 19 April 2017 through Regional Network Information Center, JSC dba RU-CENTER. That makes the name about 9 years old. Someone renewed it through 19 April 2027 despite the site being gone. Checked against the registry on 23 April 2026.
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.
More of the same record
The same treatment, applied to others that stopped answering:
- What happened to Piaproxy
- What happened to Privbrowser
- What happened to Proo8
- What happened to Proreveal
- What happened to Proxcover
- What happened to Proxii
What to do if you were a customer
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.
