How to Renew Expired Proxies

Proxy Renewal Window

When your proxy subscription expires, you have a limited window to renew it and keep the same IP address.

The 3-Day Renewal Window

After your proxy expires, you have exactly 3 days to renew it from your ProxyPorts dashboard. During this window:

  • Your proxy IP is reserved and not reassigned to other customers.
  • The proxy will not function (no active connections), but the IP remains held for you.
  • You can renew at any time within the 3 days to restore full functionality with the same IP.

After the 3-Day Window

If you do not renew within 3 days:

  • The IP address is permanently released back into the pool.
  • It may be assigned to another customer.
  • The IP cannot be recovered.

If you need a proxy after the renewal window has closed, you will need to purchase a new one, which will have a different IP address.

How to Renew

  1. Log into your ProxyPorts dashboard.
  2. Navigate to your proxy list.
  3. Find the expired proxy (it will show an "Expired" status).
  4. Click Renew and complete the payment.
  5. The proxy will be reactivated immediately with the same IP and credentials.

Pro Tip: Enable Auto-Renewal

To avoid accidentally losing your IP, enable auto-renewal on your proxy. This ensures your subscription is automatically extended before it expires, as long as you have sufficient balance or a valid payment method on file.
