How to use proxy?

[Brick33]

Hello everyone, does any one know how to use proxy in turingbot?

here are these options in turingbot.
"ProxyLogin": null,
"ProxyPass": null,
"ProxyUri": null

How to fill them out the right way? What is the proxy login and pass?

I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Brick33,

Depend on your proxy source, free or paid?

If it is free/ public source, then most likely it will not need any login and pass. So you may leave the "ProxyLogin" and "ProxyPass" as null (default, no edits necessary).

However if the proxy is paid for, then it depends on the type of authentication your proxy provider use. Commonly, there are 2 types of authentication used by most proxy providers:

1. Login and password authentication
2. IP-based authentication

So if your paid proxy is based on the (1) login and password authentication, then you will receive them from your proxy provider.
Whereas for IP-based authentication, the proxy authenticates/ verifies you by your IP. Therefore ONLY IPs that are white-listed are allowed to connect to the proxy.
Usually for this type of authentication, you will need to add/ whitelist your IP in the proxy control panel.

So for the filling part, if you are using free/ public ones, then:

"UseProxy": true,
"ProxyLogin": null,
"ProxyPass": null,
"ProxyUri": "192.168.1.1:8080"

"ProxyUri" is this format: "IP:PORT" <-- Note the semi-colon ( separating the IP and Port, and the opening and closing quotation mark (necessary!!).
In this case, replace 192.168.1.1 with your proxy IP and 8080 with the port.

If the proxy (paid) requires login and password authentication, then just fill the "ProxyLogin" and "ProxyPass" with the PROXY login credentials (given by your proxy provider).

"UseProxy": true,
"ProxyLogin": "username",
"ProxyPass": "password",
"ProxyUri": "192.168.1.1:8080"

Format above, note the opening and closing quotation mark!!

Else if IP-based authentication, then you just need to fill the "ProxyUri" information and connect to it with the white-listed IP.

Closing advice: I would highly suggest you look for some private paid proxy instead of public ones IF you are concern about your account (Well I mean if you're concern about your account, you won't even bot it in the first place).
Public ones, for example you and I will be using the same IP, and 2 bots botting from 1 IP will get us flagged and IP ban real fast!

Hi PokeTr4der, I have a small question.

I am using a paid proxy service,with an ip username and password.

I use it as you mentioned

"UseProxy": true,
"ProxyLogin": "username",
"ProxyPass": "password",
"ProxyUri": "192.168.1.1:8080"

QUESTION:

Can you share a screenshot of how the bot will look like when it logs in using the proxy.

Coz when I tried it , the way you mentioned in the auth file. Upon starting the bot, it does not mention connect to proxy, unlike Nercobto [ trying a bad attempt to mask the name :-P ]. So I do not know whether it connected to my proxy or is it running on my mobile network [ if one runs more than 1 bot then there could be a chance of an ip ban which I would not like on my mobile network, also coz I am using paid proxy not public]

If a screenshot cannot be posted, its ok, can you atleast lety me know where and how can i check or see that it does get connected to the proxy and not run on my mobile network ip.

Thanks a lot buddy,

Hi Cutekid!

Which bot are you using? Cause there are tons of them o.o ~

In my case, I use TuringBot, you may refer to this original thread: TuringBot - Necro Mod- DailyMaxPokemon/Stops Killswitch! Decrease ban chance!

Look under
"v.0.1.1Updates
HTTP(S) Proxy Support! You are now able to enter your proxy information into the auth.json file and the bot will tunnel ...."

It looks something like this:
