For Freelancers

Your internet went down. Your client shouldn't assume you did too.

When you're the whole business, an outage isn't just inconvenient; it looks unprofessional. Proxigenta tells your clients what's actually happening, in your voice, so a dropped connection never costs you the relationship.

The same outage, two very different mornings.

Sam is a freelancer. At 9:00 she's pitching a huge potential client; at 10:30, it's her weekly check-in with her biggest client. She has set both client calls as her online hours in proxigenta. At 8:00, her internet goes down. Here is how her morning plays out.

With proxigenta
  1. 8:00Sam's internet drops. Proxigenta detects it immediately.
  2. 8:15Proxigenta sends an outage confirmation email to Sam.
  3. 8:30With no all-clear from Sam, proxigenta gets ahead of both calls: the potential client and her biggest client each get a calm, in-her-voice heads-up that she's hit a connectivity outage.
  4. 9:00The potential client already knows not to expect her. No empty room and no dent in the first impression; the pitch will be rebooked.
  5. 10:30Her biggest client, alerted in advance, simply reschedules the weekly check-in. No worry, no chasing.
  6. 11:08Sam is back online. Proxigenta sends the all-clear to both clients.
  7. 11:10She follows up personally to lock in new times. Both relationships intact.
Outcome: crisis averted. Both clients kept in the loop, both relationships intact.
Without proxigenta
  1. 8:00Sam's internet drops. No alert, no signal, just radio silence.
  2. 8:01She starts troubleshooting the Wi-Fi connection.
  3. 8:06Still nothing, so she moves on to the computer itself.
  4. 8:12She starts in on the router and the modem.
  5. 8:40She fires off a couple of emails explaining what's up, so at least they carry a sent timestamp, then just waits and worries.
  6. 8:59She cringes, knowing her pitch with the potential client is about to start and she has no way on.
  7. 9:00The potential client joins to an empty room. After a few minutes, they drop off. First impression: unreliable.
  8. 10:30She misses the weekly check-in with her biggest client, too. Two clients left hanging in one morning.
  9. 11:08Her connection returns, and the fallout floods in.
  10. 11:12She sends apologies to both, with no idea whether the potential client is already gone for good.
Outcome: a blown first impression and a rattled key client, all from one outage.

Same outage. The only difference is whether her clients got a heads-up.

A professional heads-up, sent on your behalf.

Proxigenta watches your connection while you work. If you drop offline, it reaches out, typically within about 15 minutes, to the clients you choose with a calm, polished message: a connectivity issue is in progress, and you'll be back shortly. When you reconnect, it sends the all-clear.

You look like exactly what you are: a professional who has their act together, even when their ISP doesn't.

Set it up once, bill the hours, stay covered.

1

Install the agent.

A lightweight app runs quietly in your menu bar and checks in every few minutes. Nothing to manage.

2

Add the clients who matter; they opt in.

List the people you're actively working with, then send each a one-tap confirmation. Once they accept, you decide who gets notified right away and who's only looped in if you're still down.

3

Do the work.

If your connection holds, nothing happens. If it drops, proxigenta handles the explanation and sends the all-clear within minutes once you're back online.

Tuned for client work.

The right client hears it first.

Set the order so your active client is notified first, while others stay out of it. No blasting every contact in your roster.

Messages that sound like your brand.

Write exactly what your clients see. Professional, on-voice, and reassuring, because to a freelancer, every touchpoint is marketing.

Replies come straight to you.

When a client responds to a notification, it reaches your inbox, so the conversation stays with you, not with a robot.

It only watches when you're working.

Set your hours and time zone. Off the clock, proxigenta is off too.

Between gigs or unplugging? Use Ghost mode.

Silence everything for an hour, a day, or until you're back, right from the menu bar.

One click kills a false alarm.

The instant an outage is detected, you get a private heads-up. If you're fine, dismiss it and no client ever knows.

A courtesy to your clients, not a leash on you.

Proxigenta only knows whether your device is checking in. It doesn't track your browsing, your network, or your screen, and it never sees your precise location. If you travel, you can choose to share a rough region (about 10 km across) so alerts can mention wider outages; it stays off until you turn it on. You choose who's notified and exactly what they're told, and you can change it anytime. Your business, your rules.

Common questions

Will this annoy my clients?

No. The notification is brief and professional. Most clients read it as a sign you run a tight operation.

What about a two-minute blip?

You're notified first, privately. If you still have a way online, one click stops any message from going to your clients.

Can I use different messages for different clients?

Yes. Customize what's sent and who receives it, so each notification fits the relationship.

What if I'm down for a while?

Your clients get periodic status updates so no one is left wondering, followed by a clear “back online” message when you reconnect.

Does it run after hours?

Only during the hours you set, and never in Ghost mode.

Protect the relationship a dead router can't.
