Shut down

What happened to Viewpro, and what to use instead

Viewpro has stopped answering. The registration and archive record, what the site looked like while it worked, and what still works instead.

Viewpro 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 (UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT). No holding page, no error from a working server, simply no answer.

The archive stops returning a real page after September 2021, having kept 48 of them. Crawls continued; the site did not.

What it said about itself at the end

As of its last working snapshot in September 2021, the title read "New Proxy 2020 - Viewpro.info - proxy for blocked sites". Above the fold it said "Viewpro - New Proxy 2020". Its search snippet read: "Bypass your networks firewall and visit MySpace, bebo, friendster, facebook"

Preserved copy has one advantage over a live page: it cannot be edited after the fact. What it shows is the promise, not the product.

What they sold

The archive first captured a working page in October 2010.

The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.

What the registry shows

The domain was registered on 21 August 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. That makes the name about 1 years old. Someone renewed it through 21 August 2027 despite the site being gone. Checked against the registry on 9 September 2026.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Viewpro 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 Viewpro?
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.
What should I use instead of Viewpro?
Start from a list that shows when each entry was last verified. Ours is re-checked every few minutes. Whatever you use, open the target site through it once before you rely on it, because a free proxy that worked this morning may be blocked by lunchtime.
