<Tip>
  If you're using **Oculus** to access search engines like **Google, Bing, or Yandex** and facing connection issues, the proxy type could be the reason. **ISP Premium Proxies** ensure stable and unrestricted access, preventing blocks that standard proxies might encounter. Switching to **ISP Premium Proxies** can help maintain smooth and reliable performance.

    <Tip>
      Windows does not have built-in fields for entering usernames and passwords. You’ll need to input these credentials when prompted by applications using the proxy. When accessing a website, a pop-up will appear asking for your credentials. Simply enter your **Username** and **Password** from your Oculus Proxies account.
    </Tip>
