Proxy Management and Multi-Hop Routes

MaskPilot manages proxies as reusable network exits. Add standard HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 nodes, organize them with groups and notes, review their latest check status, and assign one entry proxy to each browser profile.

If the connection type is unclear, read HTTP vs HTTPS vs SOCKS5 Proxy first. Confirm that the protocol, host, and port belong to the same provider connection record before importing it.

Check before assigning

Check a saved node from the current device before using it. At launch, MaskPilot also follows the route for that session to confirm the exit information and time zone. If it cannot obtain a valid result, the launch stops instead of reusing stale exit details.

Handle advanced configurations

Use advanced import when a provider supplies a JSON or YAML configuration. Add an upstream proxy when one proxy must connect through another. The entry node, upstream hop, and final exit each have a distinct role in the route.

Prepare provider connection details

IPFoxy, Bright Data, Oxylabs, kookeey, Proxy302, and QuarkIP can all be added through the standard connection details supplied by the provider. Choose the location and session behavior in the corresponding dashboard first, then save the protocol, server, port, username, and password in MaskPilot. Provider and region fields in the client are inventory labels; they do not replace provider-side targeting or rotation controls.

Troubleshoot one hop at a time

When a check fails, determine whether the cause is authentication, timeout, an unreachable port, configuration compatibility, or one unavailable hop. Change one condition and check again instead of replacing several nodes and settings at once.

Q&A

Proxies · Q&A Why did the proxy check fail?

Use authentication, timeout, refused port, unsupported configuration, or failing-hop results to locate the problem.

Proxies · Q&A Fix a profile that won’t start with a proxy

Troubleshoot a proxy that passed an earlier check but fails during launch, exit detection, or a changed multi-hop route.
