If you are here because ProxyRain 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
The domain still responds as of 9 September 2026, serving a placeholder rather than a product. That usually means hosting outlived the company.
The last working page the archive caught was in July 2025, out of 25 good snapshots. Coverage is not continuous, so read it as roughly when.
What the last capture shows
The final good capture, July 2025, carried the title "proxyrain.com - proxyrain Resources and Information.". Its headline read "proxyrain.com". The blurb under its search result said: "proxyrain.com is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, proxyrain.com has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!"
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 April 2007.
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.
Registration and expiry
The name was first registered on 15 January 2014 at Name.com, Inc.. About 12 years, then, from first registration to now. It is paid up to 15 January 2027, so the name is held even though nothing sits on it. Registry data read 23 April 2026.
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:
- What happened to PremProxy
- What happened to Proxy1
- What happened to Proxy2019
- What happened to Proxycat
- What happened to Proxychain
- What happened to ProxyFire
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.
