The useful thing to know about Proxii is not why it ended, which nobody outside the company can honestly tell you, but when it stopped and what you should do about the money or the traffic you had with it.

The date it stopped

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

Of 39 archived captures that actually loaded, the newest is May 2023. That is where the trail ends.

What it looked like while it traded

The archive first captured a working page in December 2010.

None of it is a verdict on quality. It is the shape of a business that existed, which is worth establishing before anything else, because this market also contains names that never traded at all.

The domain, on paper

Public registry data puts the registration at 26 August 2023, through NameSilo, LLC. The name is roughly 3 years old. The registration lasts until 26 August 2027. Held, but unused. Registry query dated 9 September 2026.

The honest limit here: we can show you the ending and not the reason for it. Anyone publishing a confident explanation of a small provider's shutdown is usually repeating a forum rumour, and we would rather leave the gap visible.

Frequently asked questions

Is Proxii 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 Proxii?
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 Proxii?
Nothing that promises to be Proxii again. Use a list with a visible last-checked time, test the address before you trust it, and expect a free proxy to fail on any site that cares about proxy traffic. Our free list is re-verified every few minutes and the checker tests one address on demand.
