OSBot doesn't load when using Proxy connection.

[Atoczix]

Pretty much what the title says.

If I'm trying to use the built-in proxy connection, then select my account, the client will freeze for 1 or 2 minutes, then I'll get an error : 

"Bot initialization error - Check the forums for the Online/Offline status!"

 

This only happens in Proxy connection. It happened a few months ago too but that's when I stopped botting and playing.

Input is appreciated, thanks.

That means your proxy is not working

I've tried over 100+ proxies, very time consuming. I check the most up-to date proxies, I've put ones that were put up not 20 seconds ago and still not work

I bet 5$ you're trying HTTP proxies instead of Socks

Have you tried with CLI? I had this issue but after trying with CLI , it worked.

As Abuse said, you need SOCKS5 proxies

[Atoczix]

I was using HTTP proxies yes. I will try SOCKS5 then and let you know how it goes. I'm new to using proxies so don't judge

 

Ok so I tried some SOCKS5 proxies and it still didn't work, get the same error message.

My recommendation would be not to use public scraped proxies.

Why you might ask? Because you are not the only one scraping and using them for OSRS.

 

Doing so will get you banned more likely than using your home IP address
