You’ll see “<server name> connecting” in the Viscosity window. Wait for it to say “<server name> connected”. Ignore any popup message that says you’re connected with an IP of 10.x.x.x. To confirm it’s working, visit https://getfoxyproxy.org/geoip and ensure it says a different location and IP address than you expect.
