Shut down

What happened to Vastproxies, and what to use instead

Vastproxies 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 Vastproxies 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

Nothing answered on 9 September 2026, the error being ENOTFOUND. Not a redirect, not a holding page. Silence.

The last working page the archive caught was in October 2024, out of 2 good snapshots. Coverage is not continuous, so read it as roughly when.

The final archived page

In October 2024, the last month the archive caught it working, the homepage was titled "VastProxies". Its headline read "V a s t P r o x i e s #1 Next-Gen Proxies". The blurb under its search result said: "The most advanced proxy infrastructure containing over 86 million IPs, securing your operation's success"

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 was there

The archive first captured a working page in September 2024.

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.

On the company itself we hold: Domain available to register.

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.

Others that stopped

Other shutdowns we hold the registration and archive trail for:

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 Vastproxies 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 Vastproxies?
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 Vastproxies?
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.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
