# Custom Proxy Setup for Account Connection

When adding a new account to your OnlyMonster organization, a proxy is automatically reserved. For certain platforms — such as **Reddit** — it’s crucial to use a custom proxy to avoid login issues, platform restrictions, or IP-related blocks.

### How to add an account using a Custom proxy:

1. Enable custom proxy: Toggle the "**Use Custom Proxy**" option before connecting the account.&#x20;

*For Reddit platform, the credentials input window is always open.*

2. Enter Proxy Credentials: In the field, enter a **SOCKS5 proxy credentials**:
   1. Host
   2. Port
   3. Login
   4. Password
3. Connect: **Click Connect t**o continue.

Once connected, the custom proxy will be **automatically applied to the Account**.

**Troubleshooting**: If you enter non-working proxy credentials, you'll receive a notification about the inability to validate the proxy credentials. Double-check that all fields (host, port, login, password) are entered correctly. If the data is correct and the error persists, it means the proxy itself is not working.
