The project addresses the problem of users losing money and access when VPN service providers suddenly cease operations or experience service degradation. Rather than maintaining a blacklist, it functions as a collaborative repository where users document factual observations about service anomalies, node instability, subscription failures, unresponsive customer support, and other risk indicators. The approach emphasizes recording concrete facts and ongoing observation rather than premature conclusions, recognizing that temporary outages may result from upstream network issues, infrastructure problems, or other factors beyond the provider's control. Users submit reports through GitHub Issues or a Telegram bot, and the project encourages follow-up contributions documenting whether services recover or ultimately fail.
The tool suits users of proxy services who want to stay informed about provider reliability and contribute to a shared knowledge base. It is particularly valuable for those who have experienced service disruptions and want to report them or learn whether others face similar problems. The project explicitly discourages promotional content, spam, and off-topic discussions, with moderators removing such contributions. It differs from simple blacklists by treating service problems as evolving situations worthy of documentation and updates rather than permanent condemnations.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with community contributions through Issues and Telegram channels. The project maintains active moderation to filter out promotional and irrelevant content. Updates and expansions to the tracked information occur regularly, with the scope having evolved from tracking only complete service failures to encompassing broader service anomalies and risk indicators. The maintainers actively solicit supplementary information and corrections from users, encouraging them to update existing reports rather than duplicate issues when circumstances change.
