Paid $12.99 for a proxy that never worked — refund refused On Oct 2, 2026 I purchased a static residential proxy (US, Zone A, $12.99). It never connected — not on Mac, not on iPhone. TCP reached the server but their server killed the SOCKS5 handshake (verified with curl: "connection to proxy closed"). After an entire afternoon of troubleshooting, support blamed my setup and refused any refund, citing "no refunds for subjective reasons." What I found afterwards: ipfoxy.com is registered via Alibaba Cloud (HiChina), registrant in Guangdong, China — despite claiming to be a Singapore company Their own help center runs a "Rewarding Reviews" program offering free traffic for 5-star reviews — the positive reviews are bought Their Terms of Service: all sales final, no refunds "for any reason" Avoid. There are honest providers out there; this isn't one.
