Errors

Possible errors and their meaning:

• Please select a country.
  Before connecting via proxies, you need to select a location first. Choose random to access all countries.

• Unable to connect with the provided credentials.
  Proxy username and/or password is incorrect. Please login to your dashboard account and go to the proxy user section. You can adjust the credentials there.

• Too many unsuccessful login attempts. Please try again later.
  You will see this error if you've entered your credentials incorrectly 5 times in a row. It's there to prevent abuse and ensure that our services are functioning as intended. The block will clear after 1 hour.

• Unsuccessful request. Try changing the location or the session type and connect again.
  If you receive this error, try turning the proxy on using a different location/session type. If the error message is still there, make sure the following are correct:

• Your residential subscription is active
• There is no traffic limit set for your Proxy User. You can check that in Dashboard -> Proxy user (Allocated traffic column)
• If you are using Whitelisted IP authentication, check if the current IP of your device is whitelisted. You can check that in Dashboard -> Whitelist

If everything looks fine and you still get this error, let us know via chat!

Note: sometimes the extension is lagging when using it on a secondary screen. If that happens - simply use the extension on your primary screen.
