The Proxies tab is where you will manage and keep track of your proxy lists.
Proxies are used as a way to mask your unique IP address of your computer, and make you appear as if you are in another location.
Retailers will often ban any IP addresses that make repeated attempts at checking out in a short period of time (as is the case with botting).
It is therefore important that you have enough proxies to rotate through in order to prevent IP bans. It is recommended to run at least a 3:1 ratio of proxies to tasks.
An example of a 3:1 ratio would be if you wanted to run 10 tasks, then have a list of 30 proxies available for those tasks.
To add proxies to the bot:
Click the 'Proxies' tab on the left menu bar.
Click the green ➕ button at the top.
A new window will popup. Under 'proxy List Name', write a name for your list of proxies, such as the date they were purchased and the providers name e.g '23.03 Yog ISPs' (you can name it whatever you prefer).
Copy your list of proxies from your provider.
Under the 'Enter Proxies Here' box, paste the full list into there in the following format of ip:port:user:pass
Alternatively, if you proxies are IP authenticated, then you can enter them in ip:port
format.
Once you've added all your proxies, click 'Save Proxy List'.
Currently it's not possible to edit current proxy lists, however this will be available in a future update.
For now, if you need to edit a proxy list, you will need to create a new list and delete the old list.
Make sure to update any tasks that may be effected from the list change.
The bot has a built-in proxy tester, which you can use to quickly check whether a proxy is active or not and an estimated speed of the proxy rated in milliseconds (ms). A typical speed is between 50ms upto 900ms. Anything higher would be considered generally too slow for botting, however there are a few different varying affecting factors for proxy speeds (we won't bore you about it).
To test your proxies:
Click the 'Proxies' tab on the left menu bar.
Click the 'Test Proxies' button on the top right.
The bot will now test each proxy and rate the speed in milliseconds (ms) in the 'Status' column.
If any proxies come back with 'Invalid' as a status, then the proxy is inactive or incorrect and needs deleting from your list.
