What regulators and prosecutors have actually done
Proxy Compare keeps a dated record of every seizure, fine and sourcing disclosure it holds for the 35 residential proxy sellers it tracks, each with its primary source. 21 of those sellers publish nothing about where their addresses come from, read 5 Oct 2026, and that gap is where enforcement has repeatedly landed.
How we check · report a mistake
This is the record of formal action against residential proxy providers we track, seizures, fines, and sourcing disclosures with a primary source behind them. It is generated from our vendor data rather than written, so it cannot drift from what the provider pages say.
How to read this
Each entry carries the date we recorded it and, where one exists, a link to the primary document. Where we hold no source link, the entry says so, an unsourced claim about a company is worth less than no claim, and marking it is how you can tell the difference.
This list is not a list of bad companies. A sourcing disclosure means a provider told the public where its addresses come from, which is the opposite of a mark against it.

Questions
Does an entry here mean I should not buy from that provider?
Not by itself. A seizure means the platform no longer exists to buy from. A sourcing disclosure is a provider being open about its supply, which is a point in its favour. A fine is a fact about the past that you should read the underlying document about.
