How to troubleshoot HTTP proxy connectivity issues

Many different things can cause HTTP proxies to fail to work:  client configuration, server configuration, firewalls, routers, network issues, etc.

Please follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue you encounter.

1. Ensure your current IP is authorized:   

Go to www.ipchicken.com and copy the IP that comes up.

Login to your panel and add the IP address under authorized list

2. Test by accessing http://limeproxies.com/anonymity.php manually in a browser:

3. Test different URLs to determine if the issue only occurs on a specific website.

4. Test from another computer on a different network if possible (ensure that computer's IP is authorized too).

If the steps fail to resolve the issue, please submit a ticket that includes:

1. The proxy IP and port number
2. The website/websites you experience issues with (and whether other websites work fine)
3. Confirm if the error occurs 100% of the time or only occasionally
4. A screenshot of the error you get.
