Proxy errors explained: 407, 403, 429, 502, timeouts and slow connections

calendar_today September 29, 2026 person John Hale domain trueproxies

A 407 comes from the proxy: it refused the connection, for example over the password, username or targeting options. A 403 or 429 that arrives after the tunnel opens comes from the website. A 502 or 503 from the proxy means it could not open the connection.
