For SOCKS to work, make sure you have Premium proxies with IP based authentication.
​
After SOCKS is turned on or off, the request goes to the server and can take a few minutes for it to be completed. There can be a few reasons for this to not work properly:

  1. Pressing the button repeatedly: The button should be clicked only once. After that wait for a few minutes and refresh the page

  2. Not waiting for the request to get completed: After clicking on the button, it is important that you wait for the changes to take effect and not change or refresh the page at least for 1-2 minutes

In case, after waiting for a few minutes and refreshing the page, the SOCKS status is still the same, repeat the process (Click on the button, wait for few minutes, and refresh the page).
​
​NOTE: SOCKS can only be turned ON and OFF from your Dashboard. It cannot be controlled from the support end.
