Proxies: assignment and checks

Address formats, account assignment and route troubleshooting.

Prepare the list#

Choose the protocol in the proxy form and paste one entry per line:

text
192.0.2.10:1080:demo:password
socks5://demo:[email protected]:1080
http://demo:[email protected]:8080

These are format examples. Use your provider's credentials.

Assign a route#

In Settings → Account proxies, check the list and distribution. The assigned route also appears in the account row. For rented servers, use the assignments available in the panel.

Check the result#

A connectivity check reports the connection to the proxy. Steam may respond differently to login, inventory and Market requests. For 407, check authentication; for timeouts, check server availability. For 429, wait for Steam's cooldown.
