Proxy User ACL Rules

We’ve introduced Proxy User Access Control Lists (ACLs), giving you fine-grained control over which proxies each proxy user can access. This feature enables precise permission management for teams, projects, AI agents, or customers operating on your account.Previously, proxy users had broad access across your account. With ACL rules, you can now restrict users to specific services or individual proxies, ensuring your setup aligns with operational, security, and compliance requirements.Read the Access Control Guide →

Key Features

  • Service-restricted access limits users to specific proxy services
  • Proxy-restricted access limits users to individual proxies you choose
  • Flexible rule creation through the dashboard or API
  • Built-in proxy filtering to easily select which resources to grant
  • Available to all users at no additional cost

Enhanced Proxy Error Reporting

We’ve shipped a major upgrade to our Online Proxy Tester with clearer diagnostics, improved error interpretation, and global testing capabilities. This update helps you identify and resolve proxy issues faster with complete visibility into connection behavior.The tool now shows exactly where failures occur in the request chain, explains why they happen in plain language, and suggests how to fix them. Over 115 error types have been rewritten into human-readable explanations with actionable hints.Try the Proxy Tester →

Key Features

  • Connection trace visualization showing the full Client → Proxy Server → Target Server path
  • Human-readable error explanations for 115+ error types
  • Hint solutions for authentication, upstream, and network-related issues
