Anything you get wrong while setting a proxy up stays invisible until something needs it, and by then the profile may already be carrying an account you care about. Verifying outside the browser first removes the ambiguity entirely: anything that works in curl and fails in AdsPower is a configuration problem in AdsPower.

Replace USER, PASS, HOST and PORT with your own values. Keep the single quotes so your shell does not eat special characters in the password.

Five-minute checklist

1. Confirm the proxy works before AdsPower is involved

A 200 here is your baseline. Skip this and you will spend the next twenty minutes changing browser settings to fix a dead proxy.

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w 'http_code=%{http_code}\n' --max-time 15 --proxy 'http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT' https://example.com

2. Determine which protocol the endpoint actually speaks

Providers say "HTTPS proxy" for two different things: an HTTP proxy that can tunnel HTTPS, and a proxy whose own listener is TLS. Only the second needs the https:// scheme here. Run both and use whichever answers.

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w 'http_code=%{http_code}\n' --max-time 15 --proxy 'https://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT' https://example.com

3. Record the exit IP and country before you set the fingerprint

The profile timezone, locale and language should match the exit, and you cannot match what you have not looked at. Do this now, not after the profile is running.

curl -sS --max-time 15 --proxy 'http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT' https://api.ipify.org

4. Verify each hop separately if you are chaining proxies

Chained setups fail as a unit and report as a unit. Test hop one on its own first, so that a failure of the whole chain tells you something you did not already know. Chaining appears among the completions this page targets as a query of its own, which is why it gets a step here; that says nothing about how many people chain.

curl -sS --max-time 20 --proxy 'http://USER:PASS@HOP1_HOST:HOP1_PORT' https://api.ipify.org

5. Check the credential string for damage before pasting

AdsPower accepts a host:port:user:pass string. Copying it out of a chat client or a spreadsheet is where full-width colons, trailing spaces and stray line breaks get introduced. If this command works and the paste does not, the string is the problem, not the proxy.

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w 'http_code=%{http_code}\n' --max-time 15 --proxy 'http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT' https://example.com

Which side owns the problem

OwnerCauseWhat it looks like
The browser Protocol chosen from the invoice instead of from a test The provider wrote "HTTPS" on the plan page, so the dropdown gets set to HTTPS, and the connection test fails. Step 2 tells you which one the endpoint actually speaks.
The browser Fingerprint configured before the exit IP was known Timezone and locale set to the country you bought, not the country you got. Step 3 exists so you set these from an observation.
Credential handling Credential string damaged in transit Full-width colons, trailing whitespace, line breaks inside the host. None of them look different enough to catch by eye, and any one of them is fatal to the parse.
The proxy Rotating endpoint treated as a static one A rotating gateway hands you a different exit on every connection. Setting up a profile against one observed IP and expecting it to persist is a setup error, not a proxy fault.
The proxy Chain configured before hop one was verified The whole chain fails and there is no way to tell which hop did it. Step 4 avoids this.

The same failure in other browsers

Vendor documentation only covers its own product. These are the phrasings the same underlying faults get in the other antidetect browsers.

BrowserHow it readsWhat differs
gologin how to add proxy in gologin Same order of operations. The Bing completion for this is phrased as a how-to, which matches the intent: people are setting up, not debugging.
dolphin-anty dolphin anty proxy format Format is a separate search query for Dolphin Anty specifically, which is a good indication that the paste-format trap in step 5 is not unique to AdsPower.
multilogin multilogin proxy pricing 'multilogin proxy pricing' and 'multilogin proxy traffic' both appear as completions under the same search seed, which suggests cost and traffic metering are on people's minds when they set up a proxy in Multilogin. The verification steps here do not change either way.

What this page cannot fix

  • Choosing a provider. We do not sell IPs and we do not rank providers.
  • socks5 upstreams. Our first release only accepts http and https upstream proxies.
  • Rotating endpoints that hand out a new exit per connection. That is the product you bought.
  • A fingerprint that contradicts the exit. We warn when a failover pool crosses countries; we do not rewrite profile settings.

If you hand these credentials to other people

Most of the causes above are diagnosable in one command. One is not: when the same host:port:user:pass string is in several hands, you cannot tell who is using which credential, so the same failure keeps coming back and every diagnosis starts from zero.

Proxy Bastion gives each person a separate, revocable, metered link instead of your proxy credentials. They never see the upstream address or password, and you can revoke one without rotating anything.
