Many profile problems are caused by broken proxies. If you’re seeing errors like:
Failed to get IP data: can't connect through proxy
Connection test failed
Proxy error
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
ERR_TIMED_OUT
It’s likely an issue with your proxy provider.
First things first: test your proxy to ensure it’s working properly in Multilogin. Follow this guide to check it.
Once you’ve confirmed the proxy isn’t the problem, move on to the steps below to get things running smoothly. Let’s fix it!
Check 3rd-party apps
3rd-party apps
Apps like antivirus programs, firewalls, VPNs, or proxy tools (e.g., Proxifier, SocksEscort) can interfere with Multilogin.
Here are some quick fixes:
- Uninstall these apps
- If you do need them, disable the apps temporarily or add Multilogin to their whitelist in the settings
This should help resolve the issue and keep everything running smoothly!
How to uninstall 3rd-party apps on Windows
Antivirus
- Go to “Settings” → “Privacy & security” → “Windows Security” → “Virus & threat protection”
- Choose “Manage settings” and then turn off all the parameters in the displayed window
Firewalls
- Go to “Settings” → “Privacy & security” → “Windows Security” → “Firewall & network protection”
- Turn off all the parameters in the displayed window
VPN
Uninstall VPN applications:
- Open “Control Panel” →” Programs” → “Programs and Features”
- Right-click the VPN applications → “Uninstall”
Disable VPN applications: open the menu in the task bar → right-click the VPN apps → click “Quit”
Turn off VPN extensions in browser: don't forget to check and turn off VPN extensions that you installed in your browser, for example, Chrome:
How to uninstall 3rd-party apps on macOS
macOS security system
If the application got restricted from the macOS security system, you can access it by the following way:
- Open “System Settings” → “Privacy & Security” → “Security”
- Click “Open anyway” for the apps
It is also recommended to change “Allow applications from” value to “App Store & Known Developers”.
Antivirus
- Go to “Finder” → “Go” → “Application”
- Right click the antivirus apps → “Move to Trash/ Move to Bin”
Firewalls
- Open “Apple menu” → “System Preferences” → “Security & Privacy”
- Go to the “Firewall” tab and click “Turn off Firewall”
VPN
Uninstall VPN applications:
- Go to “Finder” → “Go” → “Application”
- Right-click the VPN apps → “Move to Trash/ Move to Bin”
Disable VPN applications: right-click the VPN apps on the menu bar → choose “Quit <name of app>”.
Turn off VPN extensions in browser: don't forget to check and turn off VPN extensions that you installed in your browser, for example Safari:
- Choose “Safari” → “Settings” (or “Preferences”) → click “Extensions”
- To turn off an extension, deselect its checkbox
Note: restart your devices after using these solutions to ensure all changes are applied.
Check the ISP
ISP
Sometimes, internet service providers (ISPs) block proxy providers or even Multilogin itself. Here’s how to test and work around it:
- Try connecting through a VPN: this can bypass ISP restrictions
- Switch networks: use a different Wi-Fi, or turn your phone into a hotspot with mobile data
- Check your speed: if your current ISP is slow, changing networks might also improve performance.
If the issue resolves with these steps, it’s likely your ISP causing the trouble.
Refresh components
Deps MLA
This action is completely safe! It refreshes the app components needed for Multilogin to work smoothly. No data will be lost during the process, so you're good to go! 😊
Windows
- Close Multilogin
- Go the
C:\Users\%username%\.multiloginapp.com\datadirectory - Delete the deps folder
- Launch Multilogin and wait until browser components are redownloaded and the green progress bar at the top disappears
Alternatively, you can go to "My account" in the Multilogin app and click "Open logs directory", then close Multilogin. In the window that will open, go one folder up and enter the data folder. Afterwards, proceed from step 3.
macOS
- Close Multilogin
- Open your user directory in Finder
- Press
Cmd + Shift + .(period) to show hidden files - Go to the folder .multiloginapp.com → data
- Delete the deps folder
- Launch Multilogin and wait until browser components are redownloaded and the green progress bar at the top disappears
Linux
- Close Multilogin
- Go the
/home/%username%/.multiloginapp.com/datadirectory - Delete the deps folder
- Launch Multilogin and wait until browser components are redownloaded and the green progress bar at the top disappears
Alternatively, you can go to "My account" in the Multilogin app and click "Open logs directory", then close Multilogin. In the window that will open, go one folder up and enter the data folder. Afterwards, proceed from step 3.
Nothing helps?
