ProgPoW testnet mining pool not working

I attempted to try out the ProgPoW testnet mining pool (looks like there's only one) today, but I'm getting a connection error:

C:\Bitcoins\progminer-1.1.0-amd-windows-amd64\bin>progminer.exe -G -P stratum://0xfae3c2322e845aa80a098a7afbbb57e4fed6dbaf.AnnaPC@testnet.progpool.pro:8008 progminer 1.1.0-amd Build: windows/release/msvc i 14:20:57 main Configured pool testnet.progpool.pro:8008 i 14:20:57 <unknown> Selected pool testnet.progpool.pro:8008 i 14:20:57 <unknown> Negotiation of EthereumStratum/2.0.0 failed.

I'm using progminer v1.1.0 for AMD cards and Windows 10. My rig GPUs are: RX 580 8GB, RX 580 8GB, RX 470 4GB. I also tried v0.16 for AMD on Linux, but the same problem happens.

Looks like it has nothing to do with the mining and the thread/driver isn't crashing. It appears like the pool is rejecting my connections. My wallet address above is a brand new one created with wallet.progtest.net.

Does anybody know if the pool has been closed down or the test was only for 1-2 days? Is the test over? I currently see 4 miners with a total of 29 Mh/s. I can't find any guide or explanation. Is there also a way to solo mine on the Gangnam testnet, if the pool is currently broken?
