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

• Host
• Port
• Proxy Username
• Proxy Password
Step 3: Verify and Update

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.
