  • Use your mobile Internet connection;
  • Change DNS in the system to 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1;
  • Enable or disable your VPN.

“Proxy connection failed” notification​

Case 1​

This notification is due to issues either with the proxy that is set in the profile, or with the Internet connection.

“Cannot change proxy IP. Please try later” notification.​

Case 1​

The notification appears when trying to change the IP address using a URL.

Solution: Make sure the link you are using is correct. You can paste the link in the Google Chrome browser, and check if the IP change occurs. If the URL leads to an error, or otherwise behaves unexpectedly, consult the URL provider.

Case 2​

Some proxy providers block the user-agent from the request library that we use. We don't have access to Cloudflare that your ISP uses, and that's why the URL doesn't work. You can ask your ISP to unblock Cloudflare, this will resolve the issue.

Solution: Contact your proxy provider support and ask for another IP change URL.

Case 3​

Some proxy providers have a limit on the number of IP address change requests for their proxies during certain time intervals.

Solution: Please contact your proxy provider to learn about such limits.
