rkinks35 1 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hey Ubotters! I havent seen much information on VPN's in this forum and wanted to get input from fellow uboters on the difference between VPN's and Proxies. How each are being used and benefits of either or. Also, I see a good amount of script within UBOT for Proxy but nothing for VPN, Are there ways to successfully input VPN accounts?? Looking forward to your thoughts! Cheers, -Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
itexspert 47 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I Use HMA Pro VPN,i never liked Proxies so my bots have HMA Support since all my customers already use it so bots can change IP automatically while HMA is Running and for me its the best way cause VPN are much Safer than Proxies Unless you use Private Proxies which i think its expensive but hey everyone works differently!

Do they give you a program that you run outside UBOT to make the VPN connection? Can you change your IP whenever you want? Just trying to figure out how you use VPN with UBOT.

itexspert 47 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 My customers have this program https://www.hidemyass.com/how-vpn-worksThey need it for the nature of their work so this program just runs in background and The Bot changes IP by simply sending request to HMA and this way Changing IP is completely automated! I use T.J Plugin to make it easier for mehttp://www.botguru.net/ubot-plugin-hma-commands/ Works flawlessly! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ptrick125 45 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 For me, I find proxies easy to use and I like them because you can run 5 separate processes using 5 different IP addresses easily. I've used VPN's for torrents because not all proxies support P2P functions or other types of internet traffic. If you're new to Ubot and want something easy to use, I would recommend HMA and use TJ's HMA integration plugin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gavind 6 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Both proxies and VPN will have your originating IPs changed. But with proxy, you connection is unsecure. This means that there will be a way to track down you activity. For VPN, there is still a way but it will be 10 times more difficult. Or may 20 times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bestmacros 60 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Proxies are needed if you want to do multithreading where each thread has different IP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monovski 4 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I agree Proxies are needed if you want to do multithreading where each thread has different IP.if for ubot (doing small task) VPN is my choicethen for other tools/task e.g for mass scraping I use free proxyelse buy dedicated private proxy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
