Connecting through a Proxy #140

Open mlgarchery opened 6 years ago

mlgarchery commented 6 years ago

Hello ! I'm trying to connect using the --proxy parameter (I do something like that --proxy=http://host:port) , but I can't figure out why it doesn't work. Has anybody used it and made it work so far ? I'm on windows and get a "Stratum connection failed: Could not resolve host: eu.siamining.com" Thanks and Happy New Year ! :)

I don't know anyone who is using the proxy option. When you want to use the sia stratum proxy, then you don't need that option, I think. Just use the address of the proxy instead of the pool's address.

I've tried to use ccminer through a proxy too, a few weeks ago. I had the same problem : "Stratum connection failed: Could not resolve host ...." It could be very nice if I could mine thanks to this proxy option. Thanks KlausT.

first you start the mining_proxy Then you start ccminer: ccminer -a sia -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3333 -O c30ba100fb0c7ac5c786723cdc873b2d686de0065f835b8df318031d10a9c2ce8d33367d0f0c:x (replace the address with your own)

But I don't know why you would want to use a proxy when you can mine directly on the pool.

It is not that I want to use a proxy for mining, but rather that I'm given internet access through a proxy ;) . Someone is watching me haha. But don't bother, I'll look at the code and build something that fits to my use. Thank you for the answers

This is an issue for me too. I only have Internet access via an http proxy. The --proxy option does not seem to work - I have access to the proxy logs and I don't even see it trying to access the proxy. minerd does work via the proxy, ccminer doesn't.

Stratum is not HTTP. This means the proxy has to support SOCKS, otherwise it will not work.
