When you use a proxy, you may encounter different proxy error codes showing problems such as proxy IP unreachable, access failure, slow network speed, etc.
In this article, we will discuss the common errors you may encounter when using a proxy IP, why they occur, and how to fix them.
1. Common Proxy Server Errors Proxy errors occur when there is a problem with the proxy server when you try to access a website. These errors usually come with different codes indicating what went wrong. Common problems include problems with the proxy server, incorrect settings, problems with the website itself, and problems with the local network.
1. The local network is unavailable/unstable
When the local network is unstable, the proxy server may also be slow or stuck. It is recommended to check the operator's network bandwidth and speed before use.
2. Regional policies lead to
Some countries/regions have certain local network restrictions, so using a proxy IP will cause lag or restricted access. The local network infrastructure equipment in some Southeast Asian countries is relatively backward, which can also lead to network instability.
3. The transit node is unavailable
If there is a problem with the network node between the user network and the proxy server, a third-party node may be needed for transit to ensure the stability of the network. If the node is unavailable, the connection will be disconnected.
4. Proxy request error
If there is a problem with the proxy server itself, a request error will occur. For example, the following are the most common HTTP error codes that may be encountered when using a proxy:
1. HTTP 400 – Bad Request
What it means: Your browser sent a request that the server could not understand.
Solution: Check the URL for spelling errors.
2. HTTP 403 – Forbidden
Meaning: The server rejected your request.
Solution: Use a trusted proxy server or change the proxy's IP.
- HTTP 404 – Not Found
Meaning: The requested resource is missing.
Solution: Check the URL or try another proxy.
- HTTP 407 – Proxy Authentication Required
Meaning: Your proxy requires a username and password.
Solution: Make sure the credentials in the proxy settings are correct.
- HTTP 500 – Internal Server Error
Meaning: There was a problem with the server.
Solution: Wait and try again, or contact your proxy provider.
- HTTP 502 – Bad Gateway
Meaning: The proxy got an invalid response from the server.
Solution: Check whether the problem is with the website itself.
- HTTP 504 – Gateway Timeout
Meaning: The agent did not get a response in time.
Solution: Wait and try again or use another proxy.
8. HTTP 429 – Too Many Requests
Meaning: The client sent too many requests in a short period of time.
Solution: Reduce the request frequency and try again.
2. How to self-check proxy error issues?
Here are a few steps to check for proxy errors:
1. Check the local network
You can use the local network to visit commonly used websites to check whether the network speed is normal, or use the ping or cmd method to check whether the local network meets the proxy server requirements, and try to change to a more stable transit node.
2. Check the proxy settings
Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct, including the server address, port, username, and password.
3. Check your browser
Clear your browser cache and cookies and update your browser to keep it up to date and disable unnecessary extensions, some of which may interfere.
4. Test with different clients
Check if the problem is client-specific
5. Contact the proxy provider
If all else fails, please contact your proxy provider for help, which is why you need to choose an agent with a 24/7 online customer service window.
3. Conclusion The error rate of the proxy server also depends largely on the proxy services provided by the proxy provider, including proxy availability, scalability, and timely technical support.
Understanding and resolving proxy errors is crucial for a seamless browsing experience. If you are planning to use proxy IP to improve the efficiency of your business, you must save this tutorial on checking errors.
