Proxy FAQ
Proxy not working
- Check if Octo Browser works with direct connection (no proxy). If the direct connection does not work, then make sure that the Internet connection is active

- If you are using a VPN, try disabling it (using a VPN affects responsiveness). If you are not using it, try turning on the VPN and checking (maybe your ISP has blocked access to the verification service).
- Make sure that your proxies are paid and active, login and password are correct. Check their performance in another application or through a proxy checker.
- Make sure that your proxies do not have specific restrictions (binding by ip, limited access to some services (for example, a proxy only for facebook), remote DNS prohibition (lack of support for DNS queries through a proxy).
- Make sure you are not using a local proxy (in forward mode). For example, 127.0.0.1:port, when the client application is closed to connect to this proxy.
