ABCproxy's website is not reachable: what the record shows, and what to use instead

The .com registry lists abcproxy.com as delegated to five nameservers on the shadowserver.org domain, named sinkhole-00 to sinkhole-04. Its registrar is Stichting Registrar of Last Resort Foundation, and the entry was last changed on February 21, 2026 (UTC). The record shows the statuses client delete prohibited and client transfer prohibited. ICANN's page on status codes says that client delete prohibited “tells your domain's registry to reject requests to delete the domain”, and that client transfer prohibited “tells your domain's registry to reject requests to transfer the domain from your current registrar to another”. The record does not say who made the change or why.

Its website did not answer web requests from our machines on November 10, 2026: connections to https://abcproxy.com, https://www.abcproxy.com and http://www.abcproxy.com each timed out after 15 seconds. We tried from our own machines only, so we cannot say whether it answers from anywhere else.

On January 28, 2026, Google's Threat Intelligence Group published a post titled “Disrupting the World's Largest Residential Proxy Network”. Google's statement in that post reads: “Our analysis of residential proxy networks found that many well-known residential proxy brands are not only related but are controlled by the actors behind IPIDEA. This includes the following ostensibly independent proxy and VPN brands:” The list that follows includes “ABC Proxy (abcproxy.com)”. That is Google's statement, quoted as it is written, and we have not verified it. The post does not say what, if anything, was done to abcproxy.com, and we are not claiming it does.

The trade press covered the post. Proxyway reported on January 29, 2026 that ABCProxy and other brands had their websites down.

Two other records carry dates: the newest archived copy of the home page in the Internet Archive is from January 18, 2026, and the newest certificates issued for the domain are dated January 24, 2026. We found nothing newer for either.

That is the full extent of what the public record supports. We found no statement from the company about accounts or balances. We did not look for a support contact or for another address the company may use.

Your dashboard and credentials were on abcproxy.com, which did not answer when we tried it, and we found no statement from the company about balances or running subscriptions. That is the situation, and it is better said plainly than dressed up.

If you paid by card, your card issuer's dispute process is one route, and the issuer can tell you how long you have to use it, so the date of your last charge matters. We did not look for a support contact for the company, so check whether it has published one.

If you held a balance of prepaid bandwidth, we found no statement about what happens to it.

If you need to tell your own team or customers what happened, the accurate version is short: the website did not answer when checked, we found no statement from the company, and you are migrating.

Google's post lists ABC Proxy after the sentence quoted above, and that sentence is the only connection this page relies on. We have no other source for who runs either brand.

For IPIDEA's own record, see the IPIDEA page.

We sell residential, mobile and ISP proxies and Mac servers, so we have an interest here. Read the next paragraph with that in mind.

ResiFactory runs rotating residential at $1.50/GB on Essential and $3.00/GB on Premium, mobile at $3.00/GB across 150 countries, static ISP as single IPs from $1.25 per IP a month (minimum 50 IPs), or a whole /24 for $255 a month, and Mac servers from $32 a day or $160 a month. The wallet starts at $0.50 and does not expire under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out.

What we cannot offer is continuity. If your integration was built against ABCproxy's endpoints, somebody has to change the host and the credential, and that work is the same whether you move to us or to anyone else.

If you would rather compare more than one option before committing, the comparisons in our blog carry dated, sourced pages for the providers we can verify are operating.

A website that stops answering is a reminder that a prepaid balance depends on the provider still operating. A few cheap checks reduce the risk, and none of them requires a subscription.

Look the domain up in the public registry before you buy. The registration date, the registrar, the nameservers and the status are free to read.

Pay by card rather than by transfer, so a dispute process exists if the shop disappears. Prefer a provider whose pricing page you can read without signing in.

Lastly, buy small first. A balance you can afford to lose limits what a provider closing can cost you.

What the record shows: the .com registry lists abcproxy.com with nameservers at shadowserver.org, the entry was last changed in February 2026, the website did not answer when we checked, Google's January 2026 post lists the brand in the list that follows the sentence quoted above, and the newest archived copy of its home page is from the same month. That is the whole of what the public record supports, and it does not say why.

If you were a customer, your card issuer can tell you what a dispute allows, and any prepaid balance is uncertain. If you are choosing a replacement, the practical requirement is a provider that is operating today, with a price you can read and a balance you can afford to lose.

We would like that to be us, and the pricing page is the honest place to judge it. If another provider fits your job better, the comparisons in our blog will tell you so.

There is no useful review record to point at for a provider whose website did not answer when we checked. Review scores describe a service someone received in the past, not what is available now.

For our own record, the trust page lists what we can prove about the business, and the terms set out what happens to a balance.
