Ping Proxies maintains a comprehensive list of restricted domains to ensure network security, prevent abuse, and maintain compliance with regulations.

​
Why We Restrict Certain Domains

We block access to a large number of financial, banking, NSFW websites, and all government domains for several important reasons:
  • Security Purposes: To protect sensitive financial and government infrastructure
  • Abuse Prevention: To proactively stop any abusive activity from appearing on our network
  • Regulatory Compliance: As an IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) member, we enforce some of their blocklists
  • Risk Management: To reduce the risk of fraudulent activities through our proxy services

​
Types of Restricted Domains

The main categories of restricted domains include:
  • Government Websites (.gov domains and country-specific government domains)
  • Banking & Financial Services (banks, payment processors, financial institutions)
  • NSFW Websites (adult content and related services)
  • Payment Processors (PayPal, Stripe, etc.)
  • Mail Services (national postal services)
  • Select E-commerce Platforms (case-by-case basis)

Requesting Exceptions

In certain cases, legitimate business needs may require access to specific domains that are on our restricted list. If you have a legitimate use case that requires access to a blocked domain:
  1. Contact our support team at support@pingproxies.com
  2. Provide details about the specific domain you need access to
  3. Explain your legitimate use case
  4. Our team will review your request on a case-by-case basis
Please note that exceptions are rarely granted for government, banking, and financial domains due to security and compliance requirements.
