HowTo: Proxy Settings

[Donald Trump 333]

This short HowTo will demonstrate how to setup proxies with DB client and through alternative methods.
 
Normal:

1.

 
2.

 
3.

 
4.

 
5.

 
Tip: Whilst entering it is important to press enter to submit the data

Alternative
 
Method 1

The proxies file located in the BotData folder within the main DreamBot directory is an alternative method. This is the structure of the file:
 
Nickname
127.0.0.1
8000
Username
Password
 
A better example would be:
 
proxy1
127.0.0.1
1080
Username
Password
proxy2
127.0.0.1
1080
Username
Password
 
I would recommend this method to ensure data is filled and you can see any white spaces that could have caused you an issue.

Method 2

The quckstart method is best for automation especially when external software is involved or simplicity.
 
Within your startup script for the bots you just need to include these parameters before you put the -jar part:
 
-Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=1080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=user -Dhttp.proxyPassword=pass
 
Tip: Look into bash scripting, look into ways of extracting data from a file and then "maybe" using it to assign proxies and making your life easier. Could also use the same method to extract data from an account list and make your life EVEN more easier.

The site I used is down atm, the domain owner forgot to renew it so it'll take couple days for it to be back.

Hi! I know this may be an old post but I no longer have access to the initial start up menu where I can adjust the settings for the proxy, it goes straight to loading the runescape client mask. Any ideas? 

 

Cheers!

So the proxy IP's can just be 127.0.0.1? How does this create anything different being the loopback IP?

It was just an example, in reality you don't put that

Hi trump. Big fan sir. I used method 1 and checked that the info was correct but the client wouldn't start up, why is this?

I have the same problem as souljasal. Any other way to debug?
