MoreLogin Proxy Detection Failed: What to Check

What proxy detection in MoreLogin depends on, and six checks that find the cause when it fails.

The 3 most common causes

1. The type does not match the IP. In Add Individually the Proxy Type must be the protocol My assets shows; in batch add, a line without a type is read as SOCKS5, which breaks an HTTP IP.

2. A field is wrong: host, port, account or password, often a trailing space or a swapped pair.

3. The IP has expired or the proxy cannot be reached from your network. Both look the same in the app, which is why the last check is a test outside it.

Six checks, in order

  1. Step 1: Set the type to match My assets

    On the Proxy page click Add Proxy, then Add Individually, and set Proxy Type to the protocol the IP has in My assets: socks5 or HTTP. Run detection again.

  2. Step 2: In batch add, write the type yourself

    Each line is type://host:port:account:password. With no type MoreLogin uses SOCKS5. The host:port:user:pass button in My assets copies a line without a type, so for an HTTP IP type http:// in front.

    Before continuing Up to 100 proxies go in at once, one per line.

  3. Step 3: Re-copy the four fields

    Copy host, port, account and password with the copy buttons in My assets. Look for a space at the start or end of each box.

  4. Step 4: Check the end date

    Open the IP in My assets and read the end date. If it has expired, renew it or buy a new one and update the saved proxy. Auto-renew is optional and set per IP.

  5. Step 5: Test outside MoreLogin

    Run the curl commands below. If curl returns the exit IP, the proxy works and the issue is in the type or fields (steps 1 to 3). If curl times out, try another network, then open a Support ticket with the order number.

  6. Step 6: If detection passes but the location looks off

    Change the IP query channel (IP2location, MaxMind, DB-IP or IP-API) and detect again. MoreLogin says channels can give slightly different results. Leave Refresh URL empty: it is only for mobile proxies.

Symptom, check, action

Detection fails on an IP you just added in batch

Check Does the line start with a type? A line without one is read as SOCKS5.

Fix Add http:// in front for an HTTP IP, or generate the IP as SOCKS5, and add it again.

Detection fails on a single proxy

Check The type and the four fields.

Fix Match the type to My assets and copy the fields again with no spaces.

Stop when If curl also fails, stop editing MoreLogin and check the end date.

Detection passes, location differs from the country you bought

Check Which IP query channel is selected?

Fix Switch the channel and detect again; compare with the IP in My assets.

curl returns 407

Check Account and password.

Fix Copy both again from My assets.

curl times out

Check Host, port, your network.

Fix Copy host and port again and try another network.

Stop when If it times out everywhere, open a ticket with the order number.

Combination of the two tests. Channel differences and the SOCKS5 default are from the MoreLogin Help Center read on 14 November 2026.

Test the same proxy with curl

# HTTP IP (port 2222)
curl -x http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://ipinfo.io/json

# SOCKS5 IP (port 3333); socks5h also resolves DNS through the proxy
curl -x socks5h://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://ipinfo.io/json

Example only: replace LOGIN, PASSWORD, HOST and PORT with the values from My assets.

What the help pages do not say

The MoreLogin pages we read do not print an error message for failed detection and do not say what the detection tests, so this guide does not quote one. The reasons above are the settings the pages describe and the checks that apply to any proxy.

A passing detection shows that the proxy connects and what the chosen database says about the IP. Platform rules are separate: use each account as the platform allows, from an IP in the account's country.

How to do it with Proxy302

MoreLogin takes proxies you bring yourself. For accounts you keep for months, give each profile its own static ISP IP: from US$0.50 for 1 day to US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country. The full setup, with screenshots, is on the MoreLogin page.

How to do it with Proxy302: steps

  1. Step 1

    In My assets open the IP, note its protocol tag and copy host, port, username and password.

  2. Step 2

    In MoreLogin open Proxy, click Add Proxy and choose Add Individually, then set the type and fields.

  3. Step 3

    Click proxy detection and save the proxy when it passes.

  4. Step 4

    In the profile choose Use existing proxy and pick this one, then confirm the exit with an IP checker.

FAQ

MoreLogin proxy detection failed, what do I check first?

The proxy type. If the IP is HTTP, do not leave the type empty in batch add, because MoreLogin reads a line without a type as SOCKS5.

Which proxy types does MoreLogin accept?

HTTP, HTTPS and socks5 for self-owned proxies. Proxy302 issues HTTP or SOCKS5.

Detection passes but the location is not what I bought. Why?

MoreLogin shows IP information from the IP query channel you picked, and different channels may differ slightly. Switch the channel and compare with My assets.

Do I need the Refresh URL?

No. MoreLogin says it is only for mobile (dynamic) proxies; a static ISP IP has no such link.

Can I use one IP in several profiles?

One IP per profile is the safer setup, so buy one IP for each profile.
