Same issue as #35 Tried using a proxy - terminal pings it and gets [alive], but still fails to fetch the list (vpngate.net is blocked for me) I can manually download the list, how should I save it (and does it need re-formatting?)? App also asked me to install KDE Wallet which I cancelled, is it crucial for the app to work?

Hi @ultrazebra

Tried using a proxy - terminal pings it and gets [alive], but still fails to fetch the list (vpngate.net is blocked for me) Did you set the proxy in the app or environment? It should be able to download the list with the proxy that is set in the app.

App also asked me to install KDE Wallet which I cancelled, is it crucial for the app to work? That is weird. This app has nothing to do with KDE Wallet.

I can manually download the list, how should I save it (and does it need re-formatting?)? Currently, the app needs to download the list itself. But you can change the behavior of the below method to load your file if exists before trying to download the csv.

Hello,

I've set up the proxy from free proxies list inside the app using F2 key. All proxies replied with [Alive], but none of them were able to get the list.

This app has nothing to do with KDE Wallet

Weird indeed, because it asked me to install it during installation of this app.

Currently, the app needs to download the list itself.

I asked a friend who's familiar with Python, and he said that app doesn't actually download the list and just reads /api/iphone every time? I was able to download the list, put it here on Github and add raw file as a proxy and it worked. Though when its access token has expired, I wasn't able to use that list again - which means that list wasn't downloaded?

Hi @ultrazebra

May I know which OS you are using?

I asked a friend who's familiar with Python, and he said that app doesn't actually download the list and just reads /api/iphone every time?

Download and read mean the same thing here. If possible, can you ask your friend setup a simple local http server and host your downloaded list file at /api/iphone. Then you just need to add your local host as a mirror.
