ProxyKnow is gone. This page sets out what the public record actually shows about when and how, what the site looked like while it traded, and what a customer left holding an account should do now.
The date it stopped
Nothing answered on 9 September 2026, the error being EAI_AGAIN. Not a redirect, not a holding page. Silence.
The archive stops returning a real page after March 2025, having kept 42 of them. Crawls continued; the site did not.
The site, in its own words
As of its last working snapshot in March 2025, the title read "Home - PROXY KNOW".
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 it looked like while it traded
The archive first captured a working page in December 2006.
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 15 December 2018, through NameCheap, Inc.. The name is roughly 7 years old. The registration lasts until 15 December 2026. Held, but unused. Registry query dated 23 April 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.
The rest of the graveyard
The same treatment, applied to others that stopped answering:
- What happened to Cherryproxy
- What happened to Colorstv
- What happened to Cracked
- What happened to Daproxy
- What happened to Dentlio
- What happened to Didaxis
What to use instead
For anyone with an unused balance: check whether your payment still falls inside your card scheme's dispute window. Keep the receipts and any support thread. Once a provider stops answering, that is usually the only route left.
On picking the next one: the lesson of a page like this is not "choose a big provider", it is "do not prepay more than you would mind losing, and do not accept a balance that expires". We sell residential from $0.44 per GB with a balance that does not expire and no subscription, which is the shape that fails least badly when a provider does. Test it and anything else you shortlist on your own target before you move volume.
