Service status

We don't currently publish a live status page or uptime figures. If netdash isn't working as expected, start with these checks, then contact support.

Check your setup

Work through these checks in order before you contact support.

  1. Step 1: Send one test request

    Run the curl command below with your own username and password, outside your application. If it prints an IP address, the gateway and your credentials work.

  2. Step 2: Read a 407 as a credentials problem

    A 407 means the gateway rejected the password or the username syntax. Check the password, the country code (GB, not UK) and the session parameters.

  3. Step 3: Check that HTTPS uses the proxy

    If the test works but HTTPS requests from your application show your own IP, they are going around the proxy. Set the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS URLs in your client.

  4. Step 4: Check the plan's GB balance

    Sign in to the dashboard and check the balance of the plan whose host and port you use. Each plan keeps its own GB balance.

Test request with curl

This request uses the Scale plan through the Americas gateway with a United States exit. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your dashboard credentials. --max-time 30 stops curl after 30 seconds instead of letting a stuck request wait.

If you bought a different plan, use that plan's host and port from the proxy format reference, for example mobile-eu.netdash.io:4000 for Mobile through the Europe gateway.

  • A JSON response with an IP address: the gateway and your credentials work
  • 407: check the password and the username syntax
  • A timeout after 30 seconds or a connection error: note the time in UTC and the host and port, then contact support
curl -x "http://USERNAME-cc-US:PASSWORD@scale-us.netdash.io:2000" \
  --max-time 30 \
  "https://api.ipify.org?format=json"
cURL

Necessary (always on)

Keeps the site working and secure, and remembers your privacy choices (nd_consent, 12 months).

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it stays off until you switch it on; elsewhere it is on unless you switch it off here. Google Analytics 4 measures page views, clicks on links and buttons, use of the price calculator, connection builder and code examples, scroll depth, file downloads, and page-performance metrics. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_96MPNM6GHH, which last up to 12 months. Google processes this data, which may involve transfer to the United States. We do not send your name, email address or account details to Google Analytics. With this switched on we also remember a referral code or campaign you arrived with (nd_attr, 30 days), so a partner can be credited if you sign up.

Support chat (loads only when you open it)

Our live chat is provided by LiveChat. It loads only when you open the chat window. LiveChat then sets its own cookies and processes the messages you send and technical data about your browser.
