This page lists proxy services that shut down, or showed a high likelihood of shutting down, during 2025 and 2026. It is compiled from this site's tracking records as a quick reference for avoiding known risks.
Overview: As operating conditions have tightened and data centers have more strictly removed proxy infrastructure, many services have recently gone offline or lost contact with users. This page continuously tracks services that shut down or showed extremely high risk in 2025–2026. It includes the date each case was identified, signs of service failure, and links to the evidence page. Check this list before purchasing or renewing any service.
Important
This list is intended to help readers avoid known risks. Inclusion is not a recommendation. Every proxy service can fail, so keep a backup and do not rush into an annual plan.
Why have so many proxy services shut down recently?
Some operators may have intended to take users' money and disappear, but the broader operating environment has also become much harsher. Many recent outages have followed upstream enforcement and infrastructure-removal notices.

In short, many mainland China data centers that supply relay routes have been conducting large-scale inspections and removals. The domestic entry nodes on which many providers depend have consequently been disconnected. If rebuilding the routes is too expensive, or the operator cannot obtain replacement data-center resources, one possible outcome is that the operator takes the remaining funds, closes the service, and disappears.
Under the current enforcement pressure, more proxy services may be unable to continue operating and may shut down. That is why this monitoring page exists.
A service approaching failure often passes through three stages:
- Many nodes stop connecting, often as infrastructure is being removed.
- Customer support stops replying, after the operator cannot restore the service.
- The website becomes inaccessible or the group is dissolved, and the operator disappears after collecting the last payments.
Core advice
If all three conditions occur together, the service is unlikely to recover. Stop automatic renewal and switch to a backup provider.
Shutdown and high-risk list
The list below is ordered by the time the problems began.
- Alert means the service has serious problems—for example, unreachable support or many failed nodes—but has not yet fully ceased operating.
- High Risk means the service already shows the conditions associated with a shutdown: widespread node failures and completely unreachable support, while the website may still accept payments.
- Shut Down means the service has ceased operating: the website is down, all nodes have failed, and the operator is unreachable.
| Provider | Problems began | Current status | Basis for assessment | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAC | From June 30, 2026 | Alert | Website inaccessible; shares an operator with Naiyun, Yinyun, and OKAC. Naiyun's shutdown is confirmed, creating correlated risk among the operator's projects. | View evidence |
| Yinyun | From June 30, 2026 | Alert | Shares an operator with Naiyun, CAC, and OKAC. Naiyun's shutdown is confirmed, and several projects under the operator have developed website, node, and support problems. | View evidence |
| Naiyun | From June 9, 2026 | Shut Down | Yinyun's official channel confirmed Naiyun had closed; support was unreachable, nodes and subscription URLs failed, and the website was inaccessible. It shares an operator with CAC, Yinyun, and OKAC. | View evidence |
| Koodog | June 1, 2026 | Shut Down | The website redirected abnormally, subscriptions failed, and the user group received concentrated failure reports. The final support status still required verification. | View evidence |
| OKAC | From May 11, 2026 | Alert | Repeated A-route and multi-route failures, plus data loss and order restoration. It shares an operator with Naiyun, CAC, and Yinyun; Naiyun's shutdown is confirmed. | View evidence |
| Xiaohuojian | From early 2026 | High Risk | Widespread route errors, severe stalling, and support tickets left unanswered. | View evidence |
| Crelay | From April 2026 | Alert | Nearly all nodes showed errors or instability, support tickets went unanswered, but the website remained accessible. | View evidence |
| Sugar Honey | April 3, 2026 | Shut Down | All nodes offline and tickets unanswered, while the website remained accessible. | View evidence |
| Renzhe Cloud | April 10, 2026 | Shut Down | Almost two months of unstable nodes and disconnections, no ticket or email replies, and an inactive Telegram channel. | View evidence |
| Lray | From February 28, 2026 | High Risk | All routes remained offline, the dedicated app failed, and tickets went unanswered for more than 48 hours, while the website still accepted purchases. | View evidence |
| DlerCloud | February 26, 2026 | Shut Down | The website went offline, the service stopped working, and the operator became unreachable. | View evidence |
| Xiaoniu Cloud | From December 1, 2025 | Shut Down | Nodes became highly unstable and support gradually stopped replying, although plans could still be purchased. | View evidence |
| Atom | From February 23, 2025 | High Risk | Many nodes became unreachable and support could not be contacted, while the website continued accepting payments. | View evidence |
| SFCloud / FCCloud | February 11, 2025 | Shut Down | The website went offline, all nodes failed, and support tickets received no reply. | View evidence |
| EFCloud | January 25, 2025 | Shut Down | The service became unusable and an official migration announcement acknowledged the closure. | View evidence |
Common warning signs before a shutdown
An operator preparing to disappear often leaves warning signs. Watch for these five high-risk signals:
How to limit potential losses
No proxy service is risk-free. The key is to limit exposure:
Three rules for reducing risk
- Avoid annual plans; prefer monthly billing: Buy your primary service monthly, or at most quarterly. If it fails, the loss remains limited.
- Always keep a pay-as-you-go backup: Maintain an inexpensive data package with no short expiration. It can take over immediately when the primary service fails.
- Leave when the warning signs accumulate: If the group is full of outage reports or all five signals above appear, stop renewing instead of hoping the situation will improve.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an alert and a confirmed shutdown?
An alert means the service has serious problems—for example, support is unreachable or many nodes have failed—but it has not completely stopped. A confirmed shutdown means the website and nodes are offline and the operator is entirely unreachable.
Are the dates in the table exact?
Most dates are when this site first identified abnormal conditions or published a confirmed assessment. For services that remained barely available or kept a storefront open while operations failed, the date of final failure may differ by several days.
Have evidence to share?
If you purchased a service that appears to have shut down, you are welcome to submit evidence.

Which services are still usable?
No proxy service is guaranteed never to shut down. Compare several options before buying and limit the amount paid in advance. The guide below lists services with relatively longer operating histories and more established reputations:
