Are you having trouble using BlazingSEO? This article will tell you how to troubleshoot BlazingSEO Proxies.

Why Are My Proxies Not Working?

This article addresses:

Proxies not showing up in your proxy dashboard
Dead Proxies

NOTE: There is a difference between the proxies actually being completely dead (not loading any websites at all), and the proxies being blocked by a particular website, but not ‘dead’.

Steps to Diagnose Proxy Issues:

1. Is your PC/Device IP authorized in the proxy dashboard?

This can be checked following this article: How do I authorize my proxies?

Additionally, you go to the browser and access whatismyip.com to verify what your IP address is. (Taking a screen capture of this so that you can send that in with a support ticket if you proceed to the other steps but still have issues, would be helpful.)

Once you confirm that your IPs are authorized and you’ve waited 30 minutes for authorization to complete, then continue to step 2.

2. Are all proxies loaded into your account dashboard?

If yes, then proceed to step 3

If no, it is possible that we are temporarily out of stock for the location(s) you selected. This does not happen often, but it can occur if we recently received an unexpectedly large order. We typically have new stock within 24-48 hours, so if that time frame is acceptable for you then hold tight! We’ll add them to your account as soon as they are replenished.

However, if your needs are more urgent, then you should change your locations to ‘mixed’ in the Location Preferences tab in the proxy dashboard. Setting to Mixed location will provide better subnet diversity, which is the best thing when connecting to websites. You will spread across more ISPs, ASNs, and A+B+C class subnets.

Your proxies will all load within 5-10 minutes, and you’ll be back in business in less time than it takes to run out for a Big Mac and fries.

3. Do your proxies access other websites, but not your preferred website?

Great news! Your proxies are not dead. Unfortunately, this means that you may have a more challenging problem for your use case: The website you are trying to access with your proxies is banning or blocking them for some reason. Please read this article on what to do when proxies do now work on all websites.

We also offer one free replacement of IPs every 30 days, which you can learn more about in the knowledge base article about replacing proxies.

4. I’ve replaced my proxies, but they still aren’t working on my preferred website!

Unfortunately, if a website is blocking the proxies from accessing their site because of their site security, yet the proxy still works on other sites, then there is little we can do with that particular proxy.

But wait – you have more options! You can try different proxy locations, various types of proxies (e.g. switch from semi-dedicated to dedicated, give IPv6 a whirl, or go big and get a premium proxy).

How Can I Check to See If a Proxy Is Blocked from a Certain Website?

You can 100% confirm if a proxy is blocked from a website by following this guide.

First, you should ensure that your proxies are setup properly, and that you are using the correct port, or username/password for the proxies with the article.

Once you've completed that, you will be able to proceed below.

There are two methods. One with Chrome, and one with Firefox. Please follow the method that applies to you.

Chrome:

Open Chrome, and click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner

Select ‘Settings' in menu

Scroll to bottom of Settings page, and select ‘Advanced'

Scroll to bottom of Advanced section, and select ‘Open proxy settings'

Select the ‘LAN settings' button on next window

You will then click the checkbox stating ‘Use a proxy server…'

You may then enter your proxy IP, port, and click OK

To confirm that your proxy is loaded into the browser, go to google and type ‘my ip'. The proxy IP should show

If your proxy IP shows up in google, you can then try loading your preferred website. If it loads, then your proxy is most likely not blocked.

To remove proxy, just reverse the steps above.

What Are Virgin/24 C Block IPs?

Virgin/24 C Block Proxies are proxies that are only used by one single person, on a subnet that is entirely only used by them on proxies that have been located to not have been used by anyone else previously. Which is why they are called “Virgin”. The whole subnet is completely dedicated to you, allowing full control, and extreme reliability.Advantages:

Entire subnet dedicated to you
Full control over quality of traffic that is sent through proxies
Extreme vetting process to ensure that the quality of the IP blocks remains long term.
Denoted usage to ensure maximum control over any potential abusive activity.
It hides your IP(or MAC) address while adding security and protecting your privacy.
Private proxies deliver fully anonymous surfing on the internet. It is important to remember that you leave a digital footprint in the form of your IP address when using the web. This means that almost anyone can see you on-line, including hackers and spammers. A private proxy server can almost guarantee your IP address will be invisible.
Higher speed since no one else is working with the same proxy.
Ability to bypass filters and firewalls since a private proxy server can circumvent these types of blocked websites.
Ability to unblock numerous applications and bypass numerous internet restrictions (i.e. unblock You-Tube, Facebook, Twitter at work or school where the “IT administrator” has restricted your access to these and similar sites).
Protect privacy for minimal worry about your personal information being exposed or compromised when you make purchases or surf on the web.
Deliver a higher level of security on internet since a private proxy provides a unique internet address dedicated to only you.
Avoid and block spam successfully.
Get around geographic restrictions (Restricted content based on country).

These proxies are best used for any purpose as needed. The proxies will not rotate monthly unless specifically requested.

We are unable to provide less than 256 because that would mean that multiple users could be in control of the subnet, increasing the risk for the whole subnet to get blocked by websites by one of the users.

Typical Uses of Dedicated Proxies:

Social Media
Games
Account Creation/Use
General Browsing
SEO

Locations:

USA – Los Angeles

Can My ISP See that I'm Using a Proxy or Block it?

We enforce high level proxy anonymity protocol to ensure that your IP does not leak out. Your ISP will not recognize our proxy IP usage.

Why am I Continuously Prompted for Username/Password?

IP authorization uses port 3128. If you have incorrectly set the proxy’s port to 4444 (which is for username/password authorization), the proxies will continuously prompt you for the username/password. Please make sure to set the correct authorization method on your proxy DASHBOARD. If you chose IP authorization, the proxy dashboard should be set to IP authorization accordingly. Be sure you have properly authorized your IP in your dashboard. You can simply follow this video guide below.

Otherwise, if the proxy dashboard is set for username/password authorization, and if you configure your proxies to use port 3128 for IP authorization, the proxies will continuously prompt you for the username/password, as the proxies will follow your proxy dashboard’s settings.

What Should I do If My Proxy Is Banned?

We provide free proxy replacements in which you may use to replace the banned proxy IP. Kindly login to your proxy DASHBOARD and browse to the “Proxy Replacements” tab, and replace the proxy IP that you find unsuitable for your usage. Once replaced, our system will assign a new proxy IP as a replacement. You can also follow this video guide below on how to replace your proxies within your dashboard.

DISCLAIMER: Each replacement will use a single proxy replacement credit. If you purchased 10 proxies, you are entitled to 10 proxy replacements per billing cycle. The replacement credit will be replenished on the next billing cycle. Kindly use the replacements cautiously, as we are unable to replenish the credit manually.
