So I've gotten my hands on some proxies, but they appear to be http protocol and not socks5 (I wasn't informed about this at the time of purchase). I've been using a vpn before just fine and the osbot client worked, but now that I'm using these http proxies the client won't even launch.

Sending all traffic through a http proxy works, but I'd be only able to bot one account at a time. The specific problem is the bot client.

I'd like some help.

u need socks5

I'm dead confident that most bots will only take SOCKS proxies (namely SOCKS5 is the most common). HTTP/HTTPS proxies will NOT WORK here, it might just throw an ERROR or just expose your real IP. Be sure to use socks proxies unless its a standard desktop application like a web browser which HTTP/S is more geared for.

Does the bot client also accept socks4 proxies? Or does it have to be socks5?

I believe it only supports SOCKS5.

Yes, pretty sure its only SOCKS5 protocol.
