proxy support? #41

Closed pinkeshbadjatiya closed 7 years ago

YIFYtorrents commented 8 years ago

Would be very nice.

pinkeshbadjatiya commented 8 years ago

But one tradeoff is, most of yhe organisations that use proxy already block these p2p ports so it makes it senseless to have proxy support.

Any ideas?

YIFYtorrents commented 8 years ago

What about ssh proxies on port 21? Are they blocked as well?

pinkeshbadjatiya commented 8 years ago

yeah. port 22 and 21 are blocked for security reasons. I rather use corkscrew on port 443 to ssh on AWS.

I am not talking about proxy websites that offer free proxies to track you. That would NOT make sense at all. Most of this free proxies make you the product and I am not even talking about how extremely slow they are if they somehow have 21/22 ports opened.

I am talking about popcorntime user who have somehow access to dedicated servers. That's what I meant.
