These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain registered in 2014 and shows clean antivirus results with only Webroot flagging it. The page presents a professional proxy service interface with realistic dashboard previews and standard authentication options. Evidence from our research shows three scam reports on Trustpilot and Reddit plus 36 total complaints, mostly tied to a June 2026 service outage where paid proxies disappeared. Positive reviews exist on Slashdot and SourceForge praising IP quality, yet the an independent review aggregator score sits at 1.6/5. The combination of long domain history and recent operational complaints places this in the suspicious range rather than outright malicious.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site markets residential proxies with claims of unlimited bandwidth, 24/7 support, and a unique refund policy. No contact email, phone, or postal address appears on the page despite the professional layout. External scripts load from facebook.com, mc.yandex.ru, and googletagmanager.com. The visual analysis shows a clean, modern interface with a chat widget and Google sign-in option.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 172.67.71.160 with a zero abuse score and no abuse reports. SSL is valid from Google Trust Services with 72 days remaining. One redirect hop occurs within the same domain. Our antivirus network shows 1/92 engines flagging the page, specifically Webroot marking it malicious.

Domain History

The domain registered on 2014-02-17 through NameCheap, Inc. and is now 12.4 years old. Privacy protection is disabled. The business registration lists an active Hong Kong company at 50 Stanley Street, Suite C, Level 7, World Trust Tower, Central, Hong Kong.

Web Reputation

Our research found three scam reports and 36 total complaints. Trustpilot shows a 1.6/5 rating with users reporting proxies vanishing within an hour of purchase. Reddit threads label the site a scam. A YouTube video documents a major June 2026 outage. Positive coverage on Slashdot and SourceForge from 2024-2026 describes stable IPs and reasonable pricing.

What this means for you

The long domain age and business registration reduce the chance of a fly-by-night operation. However, the volume of recent complaints about service loss after payment indicates real operational risk. Review the latest user feedback on multiple platforms before committing funds.

  • Treat 9proxy.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • 9proxy.com raises serious red flags as a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 1 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is 12.4 years old through NameCheap, Inc.. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
  • Proceed with caution — 9proxy.com scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on 9proxy.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on 9proxy.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report 9proxy.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged 9proxy.com, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
  • No — 9proxy.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • 9proxy.com is 12.4 years old, registered on February 17, 2014 through NameCheap, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
  • Yes — 9proxy.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 72 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
  • 9proxy.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
