Why Use a Custom Proxy?

Using a custom proxy offers several advantages for LinkedIn account management, especially for agencies or teams handling multiple accounts.

  • Bypass network restrictions if necessary

Prerequisites

Before you begin the connection process, ensure you have the following information from your proxy provider:

📋 Required Proxy Details

  • Proxy IP Address or Hostname: The address of your proxy server.
  • Port Number: The port used for the proxy connection.
  • Proxy Type: (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5)
  • Username & Password: Authentication credentials for the proxy.

Step 1: Initiate Connection

  1. Log in to your ConnectSafely entity dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the LinkedIn Accounts section.
  3. Click the Add Account button.

Step 2: Enter Proxy Details

Carefully enter the proxy details provided by your proxy service. Ensure accuracy to avoid connection errors.

Configuration Recommendations

  • Double-check the IP and Port numbers.
  • Ensure the proxy location matches your desired geographic region.
  • Use a residential proxy for better trust scores with LinkedIn.

Step 3: Proxy Authentication

Enter the username and password for your proxy server. This authenticates your connection and allows traffic to pass through the proxy securely.

Step 4: Connect to LinkedIn

Once the proxy is configured and tested, proceed to log in to your LinkedIn account through the secure proxy tunnel.

Verification

ConnectSafely will verify the proxy connection before attempting to log in to LinkedIn. If the proxy test fails, double-check your credentials and ensure the proxy server is online.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Common Solutions

  • Connection Timeout: The proxy server might be slow or unresponsive. Try a different proxy.
  • Authentication Failed: Verify your proxy username and password.
  • LinkedIn Security Challenge: Using a new proxy location might trigger a security challenge from LinkedIn. Verify the login via email code if prompted.
