## Errors

* **Unable to connect with the credentials provided.** This error means that you have entered your proxy username and/or password incorrectly. Please log in to your dashboard account and go to the Proxy setup section. You can adjust the credentials there.
* **Unsuccessful request. Try changing the location or the session type and connect again.** If you receive this error, try enabling the proxy using a different location or session type. If the error message persists, make sure the following details are correct:
  * Your residential or datacenter subscription is active.
  * No traffic limit has been set for your Proxy User. You can check that in the **Proxy Setup** section of your **Dashboard**.
  * If you are using Whitelisted IP authentication, check if the current IP of your device is whitelisted. If everything looks fine, but you still get this error, let us know via [**Live chat**](https://direct.lc.chat/12092754/1)!
* **Unsuccessful request. Try changing the location or the proxy rotation type and connect again.** If you receive this error, try enabling the proxy using a different location or rotation type. If the error message persists, try doing the steps in the error message above.
* **Unsuccessful request. Please ensure that you enter a valid proxy username, password, and IP address.** This error means that you have entered your proxy username, password, or whitelisted IP incorrectly. Please log in to your dashboard account and go to the **Proxy Setup** section. You can double-check the credentials there.
* **Too many unsuccessful login attempts. Please try again later.** You will see this error if you've entered your credentials incorrectly five times in a row. It's there to prevent abuse and ensure that our services are functioning as intended. The block will clear after one hour.
* **No whitelisted IP found, visit the dashboard to manage IPs.** You will see this error if you have selected a whitelisted IP as the authentication method but haven't whitelisted any IP addresses in your dashboard. To do so, go to the **Proxy setup** section and add your desired IP address.
