Proxy - how do I know it's connected?

[Criboo]

Hello all,

I ordered a proxy from VPSGamers for a month as I suspect I have a flagged IP.  When launching OSBot I've filled the proxy host box in, but for port I still have 'null' entered.  My username is 'root' and the password is a long series of letters/numbers they emailed to me.  When I launch OSBot it does now say '1080' at the top, which is my proxy host, I think.  Does that mean it has somehow connected (and if so, how does entering that info get me a different IP?) and is there a way to test the connection?

Thanks

Chris

Well the port must be filled in, 1080 is the default probably if you inputted null. If you enable a proxy and It's an invalid one you'll receive a socks error, so the client won't work.

Normally It'll reflect the IP in the title of the client.

1080 will be the port, not the proxy IP.

Thanks both.  Sussed it out eventually.
