I have not read a proof of one either, at least one that holds water logically.
So for me, I may as well assume that there is a reality beyond my perception, rather than insisting that some of these wierd ideas are solely the fruit of my imagination and not based on some definition in Wikipedia.
Given this level of conceptual construction, this bit about sense data and experience as central and containing, and given the level of the task, i.e. proving the fundamental nature of reality, there is no proof possible of solipsism. So if you can't prove it and you elect it as the one true way out of an infinite number of possible ways things can be what is the basis for the election? Can't be proof and can't be probability.
So given the constraints on proof that disproves it.
