Proxygratis no longer answers. We re-checked it the day this page was written, over three routes, and nothing came back. The record of the years before that is below.
When the lights went out
Checked on 9 September 2026 over https, www and plain http, the domain returned nothing (ENOTFOUND). No holding page, no error from a working server, simply no answer.
The archive stops returning a real page after November 2018, having kept 17 of them. Crawls continued; the site did not.
The final archived page
The last working capture is from November 2018. Its title read "proxygratis.net".
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 April 2008.
The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.
Related names
On the company itself we hold: Domain available to register.
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.
Other providers that went quiet
More providers that are no longer there, with dates rather than rumours:
- What happened to Cherryproxy
- What happened to Colorstv
- What happened to Cracked
- What happened to Daproxy
- What happened to Dentlio
- What happened to Didaxis
Where to go now
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.
