To give an appropriate example, we'd need to know what kind of proxies you planned on using (public or private, and if private do they require authentication).

Do everything in a subwindow (or compiled bot)

 

changeproxy 123:456:789:00

and then just run whatever you want.

 

 

Oh and removing the cookies (and the flashcookies) would be a good idea.

Ok I am using proxies, and I thought the bot is going through proxies to do all this stuff.

Then, I just found out that the proxies are not activated at all. I try to navigate to checkmyip side and see that the proxy is still not changed.

Is the below command correct for activating the proxies or use? I am inserting all the commands inside a sub window too. Can anyone help to advise whats wrong?

 

in sub window

clear cookies

change proxy -> address:port:username:password

(can I use put the username and password in the parameter like this?)

 

nav -> whatismyipaddress.com

(website shows that no proxy is used)

 

May I know whats wrong with the command here?

Do I need to use the set proxy credential command?

I try using that, but there's an error too, the uBot pops out lots of error boxes saying errors..

[alcr 135]

A screenshot would make this alot easier.

 

Oh and btw; I think whatismyipaddress.com saves the ip in your cache. So just make sure that you cleaer the cache.

[Eric 15]

Hmm ok, I'll try out later. The proxy command/function is driving me crazy..

 

So for private proxies with username/password, can we input the proxies in this format - address:port:username:password into a list and then use in the 'change proxy' command? Because I noticed that the caption says "address:port" only.

 

Will this format works in the command?

 

If so, then how should we use or what is the function of the 'set proxy credential' command?

I can't find any explanantion on this command in the commando guide..

Obviously, the credentials will have to correspond to the selected proxy.

 

You mentioned that you currently have your file containing your proxies in this format:

 

ip: port: username: password

 

Go ahead and check this thread out (it will show you how to separate that input file into individual variables for user separately): http://ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3012-separating-lines-or-cells-of-data-for-use-individually/

 

After that is done, you'll have this:

 

List Item 0 = IP

List Item 1 = Port

List Item 2 = Username

List Item 3 = Password

 

So, you'll be able to do this in the sub window:

 

Change Proxy:

address = list item 0

port = list item 1

 

Set Proxy Credentials

username = list item 2

password = list item 3

Thks crazyflx, I'll try that out shortly.. I didn't know that I need to separate the fields and input them as list items.. Hmm..

Or will it be the same if I just input the IP and port in the list, and then inside the proxy crrdential box, put in the username and password as text format (as the username and password is the same for all the private proxies). I think I tried on that and it didn't work.. ?

 

eg.

Change Proxy:

address = list item 0

port = list item 1

 

Set Proxy Credentials

username = username

password = xxxxxxxx

Ok.. I tried a lot of times and I am having problems with private proxies that needs authentication. The webpage just don't load up. I tried to insert the "Proxy Credentials" :

 

1) as list items as advised by crazyflx (it works for public proxies, but private proxies can't work)

2) as text string

3) as #variable, whereby I insert the username and password as #variable in the UI textbox

 

All above methods can't get the webpage to load when using private proxies that required authentication, but for public proxies it worked.

I tried the private proxies outside of ubot, in both IE and firefox, and they are workable. So I am really struck in this area. Can anyone please help to advise please... I attached the screenshots below.. Please help, I tried to analysis this for the whole day and still can't figure out what went wrong..

 

I am putting them in sub and running the commands as sub. When the public proxy sub is run, it worked. But when the private proxy sub is run, it won't work.

OMG.. If worst case, the private proxies can't work inside ubot, why is it that when I set the private proxy settings in my IE browser on my PC, it don't applies to the browser inside ubot?

Is there or can anyone please help to provide some tutorial or guide on how to use proxy? for both public and private and private proxy with authentication... I am struck with this proxy thing...

[Seth Turin 223]

if you want, you can send me some of the private proxies and I can test them over here.

Hi Eric... Did you get this working?.. I know it is an old thread but I can't get my private proxies to work.

Thanks

Hi Cynthia

 

It would be helpful if you could fill in your profile details so we know if you are using, for example v3.5 or v4, and the licence type ie standard. pro or developer, as the answers may well be different.

 

Knowing which you have will hopefully get you some pointers in the right direction.

 

Regards

Phil
