• 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 persists, make sure the following details are correct:

  • There is no traffic limit set for your Proxy User. You can check that in Dashboard -> Proxy setup (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, but you still get this error, let us know via Live chat!

  You will see this error if you've entered your credentials incorrectly five times in a row. It's there to prevent abuse and ensure that our services are functioning as intended. The block will clear after one hour.
