ℹ️ About your old PIA account and balance

We can't restore old accounts right now. Full restoration is expected to take approximately 4 to 6 months — please wait.

For now, you can create a new account on PIA5Proxy.com and top up your balance. Once we complete the restoration process, the balance from your old account can be transferred to your new account.

What happened to PIA Proxy?

In early 2026, both PIA Proxy (piaproxy.com) and PIA S5 Proxy (the original panel) stopped accepting new users and froze top-ups. Many users were left mid-project with no clear migration path. We rebuilt the service from the same SOCKS5 backbone — without the corporate baggage.

🔒

Same IPs. Same tools. Different operator.

PIA S5 Proxy operates the same residential SOCKS5 pool that powered the original PIA. We dropped the monthly subscriptions, kept the no-expiry per-IP model, doubled bonus IPs on every plan, and added 6 crypto payment options. You're not getting a copy — you're getting the same network.

What migrating users say

First 100 migrators from old PIA Proxy.

Was running 80 Amazon seller accounts on old PIA. Migration took 12 minutes — credentials format is identical to old panel. Saved $40/mo vs. their forced subscription. No bans in 30 days on the new IPs.

Cheaper than original PIA when you factor in the bonus IPs. Got 1,500 IPs total for $156 — paid in TRX, online in 4 minutes. Telegram support actually replies in minutes, not days.
DataScraper_TGTelegram channel admin
Used PIA Proxy since 2022 for SMM. When it shut down I tried Bright Data — way too expensive. PIA S5 is the only 1:1 replacement I found. AdsPower configs work without any changes.

FAQ — Migrating from PIA Proxy

Is PIA Proxy really shut down?

Yes — both the original PIA Proxy (piaproxy.com) and PIA S5 panel stopped accepting new users and froze top-ups in early 2026. Existing customers received migration emails. PIA S5 Proxy (pia5proxy.com) is operated by part of the original team and provides access to the same SOCKS5 residential pool.

Will my old account work on PIA S5?

No, you need to register a new account at pia5proxy.com. However, message our Telegram [email protected] with your old username and a screenshot of your last invoice — we'll credit up to $20 toward your first order as a migration bonus.

Is PIA S5 Proxy more expensive than PIA?

Actually cheaper effectively. Starter is 150 IPs for $36 ($0.24/IP), and bulk plans drop to $0.05/IP effective once you count bonus IPs. Pay once, never expires — same model as old PIA, no monthly subscription.

How long does migration take?

Under 15 minutes: register (2 min) → choose plan (1 min) → pay crypto (3–5 min for blockchain confirmation) → SOCKS5 list activates automatically. Existing AdsPower / Dolphin / GoLogin configs accept new credentials without changes.

Which crypto do you accept?

USDT (TRC20 / ERC20 / BEP20), BTC, ETH, TRX, LTC, and XMR. No cards, no KYC, no monthly billing. We added 5 networks beyond what the old PIA supported.

Will my anti-detect browser still work?

Yes. PIA S5 SOCKS5 credentials are plug-compatible with AdsPower, GoLogin, Multilogin, Dolphin Anty, BitBrowser, Kameleo, Incogniton, Octo Browser, and 50+ tools. Paste new credentials, you're done.

What's the refund policy?

If access doesn't activate within 24h after blockchain confirmation, we refund 100% in the same crypto. If you bought IPs but a specific country pool has issues, we replace IPs 1:1 from a different country.

Welcome back. Don't lose another day of work.

Your scraping pipeline / AdsPower farm / Amazon stack doesn't have to stay paused. Same network, faster activation, no monthly trap.
