How to configure my Custom Proxy?
Updated this week

In addition to the standard connection methods, HeyReach allows you to connect your LinkedIn sender via a custom proxy.

If you decide to use this feature, here’s everything you need to know.

1. Bring Your Own Proxy

• If you want to use a proxy from a specific location, you can bring your own custom proxy.

• HeyReach does not sell custom proxies. It is your responsibility to find and purchase one from a reliable provider.

2. Proxy Type Recommendations

• The best proxy type is a Static Residential Proxy.

• On average, one LinkedIn account uses 600–800 MB per month.

3. Vendor Support Matters

Choose a proxy provider that offers quick replacements (within 24 hours). If your proxy fails, your LinkedIn account won’t work properly.

Here's a list of tested proxy vendors.
1. IP Royal
2. Bright Data
3. NetNut


How to Configure a Custom Proxy in HeyReach

1. Access Proxy Configuration

Navigate to the LinkedIn Accounts tab. Locate the LinkedIn sender for which you want to configure the proxy. Click the three-dot menu and select Configure Proxy.

2. Enter Proxy Details

In the proxy settings window (which slides out on the right side of the screen), input the following details:

Host

Port

Proxy Username

Proxy Password

3. Verify and Update

Click Verify Proxy. Wait for a green message confirming that the proxy has been validated. Once validated, click Update Proxy to apply the settings.

4. Completion

After applying the proxy, the new proxy location will be successfully assigned to your LinkedIn sender.


Troubleshooting Proxy Issues

1. Incorrect Proxy Format

Common mistakes include:

• Adding too many dots or extra numbers in the host or port fields.

• Mixing up the host and port fields.

• Leaving trailing colons (e.g., adding “:**” at the end of the host).

• Inserting blank spaces between proxy details.

💡 Tip: Always copy and paste the proxy details carefully, ensuring there are no blank spaces or formatting errors.

2. Faulty Proxy

If the proxy is invalid, HeyReach will display a red error message indicating that the proxy is not compatible. This will prevent you from proceeding.

Solution: Contact your proxy provider to verify the health and compatibility of the proxy. Request a replacement if needed.
