[\[1\]](#source-1) - Alarum Technologies, NetNut's Nasdaq-listed parent, said it learned of the seizure on July 2, 2026 and would fully cooperate with law enforcement. [\[2\]](#source-2) - In a Form 6-K filed in July 2026, Alarum said it would temporarily pause traffic through the affected network services and that, as of that release, neither it nor NetNut had been formally contacted by the FBI or any other authority. [\[3\]](#source-3) - On July 13, 2026, Alarum said it still did not know the exact root cause of the disruption and that any restart would go through a legal, technical and compliance review. [\[4\]](#source-4) - No restart had been announced as of October 9, 2026, when every NetNut page we checked still showed the seizure notice. [\[1\]](#source-1) The short answer NetNut is offline: since July 2, 2026 its domains have shown an FBI seizure notice, and its parent, Alarum Technologies, paused traffic through the affected services and has not announced a restart. Before that it sold residential proxies on monthly plans from $99 for 28 GB ($3.53/GB) down to $1.87/GB on a 2 TB plan. In a replacement, look for a stated consent basis for the residential pool and published prices — Loopway says every residential IP is consented and opt-in, and charges $1.10/GB at 10 GB and $0.57/GB at 1 TB, pay as you go.

NetNut's parent, Alarum Technologies, said it would temporarily pause traffic through the affected services and cooperate fully with law enforcement. Krebs on Security reported allegations, including from Google's Threat Intelligence Group, that part of NetNut's exit-node pool overlapped with the “Popa” residential-proxy botnet. These are allegations; Alarum said it is examining whether third parties misused its network. Alarum hasn't announced a restart. On July 13, 2026 it said it still did not know the exact root cause of the disruption and that any restart would go through an enhanced legal, technical and compliance review first. As of October 9, 2026, every NetNut page we checked still showed the seizure notice. Its last published prices (archived February 2026) put rotating residential proxies on monthly plans from $99 for 28 GB ($3.53/GB) down to $3,750 for 2 TB ($1.87/GB), with annual billing about 15% lower. Mobile went from $7.60/GB on the $99 Starter plan down to $4.50/GB, static residential from $14.40/GB down to $4.50/GB, ISP proxies from $17.50/GB down to $5.00/GB, and datacenter from $1.00/GB down to $0.50/GB, all on monthly plans with no pay as you go. Point your tools at a new gateway: swap the host, port and credentials, and set country, city and session options in the username string. You'll get new IP addresses, so update any allowlists that named NetNut's. On Loopway you can test your targets on the free residential trial with no card, then pay as you go — $1.10/GB at 10 GB, $0.57/GB at 1 TB, with a balance that never expires. Ask the provider how residential IPs join the pool: through an app or SDK where the device owner opts in and can opt out, with that consent recorded. Look for a published sourcing policy, prices on the site rather than behind a sales call, and a company that answers the question in writing. Loopway states that every residential IP in its pool is consented, opt-in and audited. Any provider that publishes its prices and how it sources residential IPs. Loopway sells residential, mobile, static ISP, datacenter, IPv6 and unlimited proxies on one pay-as-you-go account, with country and city targeting included — residential is $1.10/GB at 10 GB and mobile $1.89/GB.
