U.S. Visa Website Error 1015? Don't Curse Just Yet

Recently, a lot of people have been getting the dreaded "Error 1015 - This request has been blocked" message when filling out their DS-160 forms, and it's a real pain in the ass to get stuck at a critical step. Let's be honest - nine times out of ten, the problem has to do with the network you're currently using, especially some public WiFi or company networks, which can be blocked by websites as bots if you access them too often.

Figuring out what's wrong with Error 1015

For example, if you use the IP of an office building in Shanghai to submit repeatedly, the system may directly give you a "suspicious access" label. This time to change a clean IP can break the game, with the game cut a small number of a reason.

Hands-on with proxy IP solutions

The focus here is on how to get it done with ipipgo's proxy service:

 To test if the proxy IP is working (Windows computer)
curl -x http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.net:端口 ifconfig.me

 Mac users can add a proxy directly in the network settings
1. System Preferences → Network → Advanced → Proxies
2. Select HTTP/HTTPS proxy and fill in the server address provided by ipipgo.

Be careful to chooseStatic Residential IPIf you want to use a shared IP, don't try to use a shared IP cheaply. ipipgo's background can directly filter the US domestic IP, and it is recommended to choose the IP segment of Texas or Washington State, which has a higher success rate.
