Set the proxy in the profile, run Test Proxy, and if it fails go through six checks in order.

What it means for you
Protocols
HTTP/HTTPS, SOCKS5 and SSH
Choose HTTP or SOCKS5 to match the IP in My assets
UDP
Not supported
Use HTTP or SOCKS5 TCP proxies
Connection string
username:password@hostname:port
Pasting one line into the IP or Hostname field splits it into fields
Type detection
Kameleo tries to detect the type from common port conventions
Set the type yourself; do not rely on the port
DNS
Resolved by the proxy
Names are looked up on the proxy side, not on your computer
Sources: Kameleo help center, Built-in Proxy Manager and Supported Proxy Connection Strings, read 13 November 2026; Proxy302 product facts, 10 November 2026 (ports 2222 and 3333).
In Proxy302 My assets click the IP and copy host, port, username and password one by one. Note the protocol.
Step 2
In Kameleo go to Profiles and click New. Choose device, OS and browser.
Step 3
In the Proxy row click With Proxy, pick HTTP or SOCKS5 to match the IP, and fill IP or Hostname, Port, Username and Password.
Step 4
Click Test Proxy. When it passes, click Save & Start, then open https://ipinfo.io/json inside the profile to confirm the exit.
Six checks when it fails
Test Proxy fails
Check Does the type (HTTP or SOCKS5) match the protocol My assets shows for this IP, and the port match that protocol?
Fix HTTP with port 2222, or SOCKS5 with port 3333.
Stop when Each static IP has one protocol, chosen at purchase; you cannot switch it in Kameleo.
Test Proxy fails with correct type and port
Check Were the four values copied without a space or line break?
Fix Copy them again one by one from My assets.
Stop when If a pasted connection string was split wrongly, fill the four fields by hand instead.
Login rejected, password has symbols
Check Does the password contain characters such as @ or :?
Fix Kameleo says special characters may need URL encoding in a connection string; enter the password in its own field instead.
Stop when Do not paste a password with @ inside a single connection string.
Test Proxy fails for a working proxy
Check Kameleo tries Google, Archive.org and Wikipedia in turn; can the proxy reach any of them?
Fix Test the proxy with curl (below). If curl works, the proxy is fine and the test sites are the issue.
Stop when Some providers block those sites or allow only approved domains.
It worked yesterday, not today
Check Has the IP expired or its term ended?
Fix Check the end date in My assets and renew.
Stop when Renewal keeps the address in most cases; if an IP was replaced, update the profile.
Test passes but the location looks wrong
Check Does https://ipinfo.io/json inside the profile show the expected country?
Fix A passing test shows the proxy is reachable, not where it exits; check the exit from inside the profile.
Stop when Different geolocation databases disagree about cities; compare two services before you act.
Test the proxy outside Kameleo
A curl test separates the proxy from Kameleo. If curl returns a JSON with the proxy's IP, the proxy works and the problem is in the profile settings. If curl times out, check host, port, and your network.
Test the proxy outside Kameleo
# Test the same proxy outside Kameleo
# HTTP IP (port 2222)
curl -x http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:2222 https://ipinfo.io/json
# SOCKS5 IP (port 3333), DNS resolved through the proxy
curl -x socks5h://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:3333 https://ipinfo.io/json
Example commands: replace LOGIN, PASSWORD and HOST with your own values. Not run against a live proxy here.
Which IP to buy
One static ISP IP per profile for accounts you keep for months: US$7.99 for 30 days, and it does not change during the term. For pages you check from different countries, rotating residential from US$1.50/GB.
Most often the type or port does not match the proxy, a value was copied with a space, or the proxy cannot reach the sites the test tries. Go through the table above in order.
Does Kameleo support SOCKS5 with a login?
Yes. The Proxy row takes HTTP, SOCKS5 and SSH with an optional username and password.
Can I paste user:pass@host:port into one field?
The help center says the IP or Hostname field accepts username:password@hostname:port and splits it. Filling the four fields one by one is the safer way.
Does Kameleo support UDP proxies?
No. Kameleo does not support UDP-based proxies.
Is there a free trial?
No. The smallest purchase is one static IP for one day at US$0.50.
