A TLS/SSL error means that a secure connection could not be established successfully between your application, the proxy connection, and the destination website.
The error does not necessarily mean that your Rainproxy proxy is unavailable.
Common causes
Incorrect proxy configuration
Check that your:
Host
Port
Username
Password
Proxy protocol
are configured correctly.
Software compatibility
Different applications handle secure connections through proxies differently.
Make sure your software supports the proxy protocol you're using.
Target website restrictions
The destination website may reject or interrupt a connection for reasons unrelated to the proxy itself.
Application SSL/TLS settings
Some applications have their own SSL/TLS or certificate settings.
Incorrect application settings can prevent a secure connection from being established.
How can I troubleshoot the issue?
1. Generate a fresh proxy
Create a new proxy and test the connection again.
2. Simplify your targeting
If you're using country, state, city, ISP, or other targeting options, temporarily simplify your configuration.
This can help determine whether the issue is related to your selected proxy criteria.
3. Test another supported protocol
If your software supports multiple proxy protocols, test another supported option.
4. Test another IP
Generate another session or proxy and compare the results.
5. Test another website
Try connecting to another HTTPS website.
If other websites work but one specific website produces the TLS/SSL error, the issue may be specific to that destination.
