Proxies Not Working

(I am new to this space with Website Contact and All)

I was trying to use the proxies I bought from smartproxy in GSA Website Contact. When I tried testing these proxies before starting to scrape / send to websites it showed that only 1 of the 20 I bought worked. I heard that smartproxy is a good US based service so I don't know whether its an issue on their end or mine. 

I am using a VPS btw through Amazon AWS.

What do I do? And what could I do to avoid this from happening in the future.

    I used ProxyJudge in the proxy menu for testing them

    OK, thats good and should work just fine. Maybe you can provide me those proxies in a private message for review?

    I finally figured it out, it was a port authentication issue with smartproxy. Thanks though!
