What happened to Proxylive, and what to use instead

Proxylive is gone. What the public record shows about when, what the site carried, and how to pick a replacement that fails less badly.

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.

If you are here because Proxylive stopped answering, the short version is that it is not you. The site is unreachable and has been for a while. The rest of this page is the evidence and the replacement.

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 archive stops returning a real page after October 2019, having kept 10 of them. Crawls continued; the site did not.

What the last capture shows

The final good capture, October 2019, carried the title "proxylive.online".

Read it as the pitch rather than the product. Its value is that the Internet Archive holds it independently of us and of them, so anyone can check the quotation.

What was there

The archive first captured a working page in October 2017.

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.

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.

Other providers that went quiet

More providers that are no longer there, with dates rather than rumours:

Where former customers end up

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 Proxylive 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 Proxylive?
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.
What should I use instead of Proxylive?
Weight the terms as heavily as the price, because an expiring balance and a large minimum top-up are what turn a shutdown into a real loss. Whatever you shortlist, run a small paid test on your own target before moving volume, and keep prepaid exposure small until a provider has earned more.
