NetNut is offline: what the record shows, and what to use instead

The domain is still up. What it serves is a notice reading "Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation", and it has done since the middle of 2026: the same notice appears in an archived capture from July 7, 2026. It is not one address either. We checked today and found the same notice at netnut.com and at alarum.io, so the notice is served from more than the storefront.

The transition is visible in the archive. the last archived capture of a working shop is from July 4, 2026, and that copy was a normal proxy storefront advertising 85M+ residential addresses in 195+ locations, static ISP and datacenter lines, mobile by network generation, and a free trial. Three days later the same address was serving the notice.

The registration itself was never taken down. The name is still resolving, with a client transfer prohibition on the record, it was registered on January 10, 2017, and the record was last changed on August 11, 2026. That combination is worth understanding: a seized site and an expired domain are different events, and this is the first one.

That is the full extent of what the public record tells us. It does not say what the investigation concerns, and we are not in a position to characterise it.

Your dashboard is unreachable, and there is no company channel left to ask about a balance. The practical questions are whether a charge can be disputed and whether any workload still depends on those lines.

Start with the card issuer rather than the provider. A seizure notice means there is no support desk to escalate to, and issuers set their own window measured from the transaction.

Then inventory what is still pointed at the old host. Anything that silently retries a dead proxy will look like a bug in your own code, so the sooner the host and credential are replaced, the less time you spend debugging the wrong layer.

If you need to explain it internally: the domain now serves a federal seizure notice, the service is not available, and you are migrating. That is accurate and sufficient.

We sell the category NetNut was selling, so discount this section accordingly. It is here because you are looking for a replacement, not because we are neutral.

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 has no expiry date under normal circumstances, as our Terms set out.

What no provider can give you is continuity. The endpoint and the credential change wherever you go, and that work is the same for any replacement.

The comparisons in our blog carries dated, sourced pages for the providers we could verify were operating when we wrote them. It is a better starting point than any single recommendation, including ours.

It is tempting to read a seizure notice as a verdict on an industry. It is not one, and we would rather be precise than dramatic.

A domain can be seized for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of a proxy network, and the notice does not say why. Treating every provider as suspect because one domain was seized would be as lazy as assuming none of them can fail.

What the event does justify is a habit: check the domain in the public registry, pay in a form that can be disputed, and keep a balance small enough that a closure is an inconvenience rather than a loss.

That last point is why our entry point is a prepaid wallet rather than an annual contract. It is not a moral position, it is a hedge that costs us revenue, and we think it is the right shape for this market.

NetNut is not operating. Its homepage has served a federal seizure notice since July 2026, and the last working copy of the site in the archive is from three days earlier. The registration itself is intact, which is why the domain still loads.

If you were a customer, go to your card issuer and inventory anything still pointed at the old host. If you are choosing a replacement, verify that the provider is trading today and keep the first balance small.

We would like that replacement to be us, and the pricing page is where to judge it. If another provider fits better, the comparisons in our blog says so where it is true.

Reviews describe a service someone received before it stopped. For a provider serving a seizure notice they are history rather than guidance, so we link none.

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