Error 2: Authentication information is not synchronized and updated
When using proxy IPs that require account authentication, many users only change the IP address butForgot to update username/password. Especially when using ipipgo's Dynamic Residential IP, the authentication information will change with the IP change, so it is recommended to enable the automatic synchronization authentication function.

Error 3: Protocol type mismatch
Different proxy protocols need to correspond to different port settings, and common combinations are shown in the table below:
