Help, I'm behind a proxy!

tynaud · 08-23-2008, 09:30 AM

Hi all.

Well, I'm trying to install ROL on 10 computers which are behind a proxy... These computers are set with dual boot (XP / Ubuntu) and on both systems, at launch, I got "loading" indefinitely. I think the problem is the proxy because the ports are opened...

So how to configure ROL to set the proxy name ?

Thanks for your help.

Regnum doesn't have proxy support, if really all traffic has to pass the proxy you will need to get your network administrator to open up a direct access to the net for you.

Usually proxies only support certain ports, while other traffic is passed unhindered. Are you sure the problem is the proxy and not some restrictive firewall settings?

Either way, contact your local guru.

On linux, start like this:

cd regnumfolder
http_proxy="" ./rolauncher

I'll test it tomorrow, and if it works, well, you'll be my hero !

It doesn't work...
Well, http and ftp have to pass through the proxy... myproxy:8080
Ubuntu is configured with these variables in /etc/environment :

http_proxy=http://myproxy:8080/
ftp_proxy=http://myproxy:8080/

In firestarter (gui for iptable) i've allowed incoming traffic for
9660
48000
48001
47300
80

On the server, my local guru as allowed incoming traffic for
9660 udp
48000 tcp
48001 tcp
47300 tcp

So... I tried to launch with
http_proxy="" ./rolauncher
and I get an error message (Trying to solve a NULL hostname: giving up)

But before I tried with
http_proxy=http://myproxy:8080/ ./rolauncher
and always blocked on loading (normal, that's the same comportment as by default I guess...)

I've apt-get proxychains and tsocks, but i don't know how to configure them... Try some things but it didn't work...

EDIT : In fact, tsocks "can" in theory proxify any apps...

Using http_proxy="" works for me, although I also receive messages about a null hostname.

Just press "OK" when you see the messages and start the game anyway, does this work?

I am behind 2 firewalls, 1 in my router and 1 on my computer and I also have a global proxy set up on port 8080, so I am convinced that this problem can be solved ^^
