A client tried to run the actor tri_angle~expedia-hotels-com-reviews-scraper and never got it to work after several attempts. I tried running it directly on the Apify website but it is failing immediately upon starting.

The error log shows the following message: Error: Invalid username: the "SHADER" proxy group was not found or is not accessible.

It seems the actor is attempting to use a proxy group named "SHADER" that my account does not have access to. I have checked for proxy settings but cannot find the option to change that or how to select a proxy option that would get it working.

Please let me know if I need to make any changes to the configuration on my end so it can work correctly again.

Thanks
