Planets within it's "goldilocks zone" would be close enough to the star to be tidally locked to it, as the moon is to Earth. That means it would have one permanently sunlit side and one side in perpetual darkness. Alpha Centauri, which Proxima orbits around, is a binary star, and is about 5.5 light years away.
that is what was i thought. but there are some that say Proxima Centauri b sometimes called Alpha Centauri Cb some say it maybe habitable, it's others say it is not.
