Error with asocks proxy + anti dolphin HELP

[aliens420]

It says "proxy is invalid or restricted for checking host".

Then when I try to use it there is an error in russian so it is probably invalid and not restricted.

How do I fix this?

There could be several reasons behind this. Your proxy could be down, there could be authentication problem or configuration issue. You can check out your proxy in any other browser or application whether it is working fine or not. If there is an issue with it, you can reach out to the support of your proxy provider/

it might be due to a few reasons:

• Invalid IP Address or Port: Your proxy might have an invalid IP address or port number. Make sure you're using the correct IP address and port.
• Proxy Server is Down: The proxy server could be down or offline. You might want to check the status of the server or contact the provider to verify its status.
• Restricted Access: The host you're trying to reach could be blocking or restricting access from your proxy IP address. Some websites restrict certain IP ranges or countries, or they might be blocking IP addresses that they've identified as being associated with proxy servers.
• Incorrect Configuration: Your configuration settings might be incorrect. Ensure you're using the right configuration and that you've correctly entered your proxy settings into your application.
• Blocked by ISP: Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) could be blocking access to the proxy server. If this is the case, you may need to contact your ISP to resolve the issue.

If you’re getting “proxy is invalid or restricted for checking host” with ASocks:

1. Verify the proxy type – make sure you’re using the correct protocol (SOCKS5 vs HTTP/S).
2. Check IP status – some proxies are banned or blacklisted by certain services.
3. Test with another tool – use a proxy checker to confirm it’s alive and responsive.
4. Switch to a reliable provider – using high-quality residential proxies like Bright Data ensures the IPs are valid, unrestricted, and work consistently across platforms.

It’s a pretty common issue with unstable or blacklisted proxy servers. Try testing the same proxy in another checker to confirm if it’s alive. If not - it could also be blocked by the target site.

This is the same thing I'm facing with them right now

old thread but its likely your proxy is dead / blocked .

Quick checklist to debug ASocks/Anti-Dolphin issues: first verify the proxy credentials, port and protocol (Socks4 vs Socks5) and test the IP with a simple curl or browser proxy test. Check for DNS or WebRTC leaks and confirm the proxy isn’t timing out or getting blocked by the target site. Look at proxy/log outputs for auth or connection errors and try the same proxy with a different client to rule out the browser/profile. If it still fails, try a fresh proxy from the same provider to see if the IP is blacklisted.
