Sometimes, VPN providers and hosting companies run out of funds, fail to renew their domain, are sold to bigger companies or simply cease to exist.
This page aims to commemorate both the great and ho-hum fallen providers.
VPN providers, proxies and unblockers
Anyport
Anyport was Netflix unblocker.
They announced suspending service on Oct 14th 2017.
Smartflix
Smartflix allowed access to the US selection of movies and TV series from anywhere in the world by installing a desktop app.
Spotflux
Spotflux was the very first VPN provider to include a feature that filtered out ads and tracking from the websites you visited.
Another innovative feature they pioneered was automatic compression of web assets such as images, something that could come in handy with capped data plans, especially on mobile.
However, the locations offered for servers were quite limited
