It would be great to have a function to import or paste a text file with proxies, rather than having to enter IP, port, and type individually. I try to avoid using my home IP and public proxies go down frequently, so if I could have PF run through a list until it connects to one, that would be awesome.
Are the public proxies blocked by niantic? I mean, is it dangerous to use public proxies for banning? I would appreciate such a list too.
it is stupid and makes absolutely no sense using public proxies. If you want to get banned (faster), go for it and use them.
@DaSoul: This is what I'm thinking, sorry for my bad english But also when I'm buying a proxy account. Every proxy-server-provider has its range of ip-adresses, so also these range could Niantic block or not? It's only brainstorming, I used PF only within my city without proxy
First thing that needs to be taken into consideration is, that proxy ≠ proxy. An elite/high anonymous proxy server isn't even detected as a proxy because the specific header information is deleted from packages while cheap, crappy and slow public proxies identify themselve as a proxy so Niantic directly knows what's going on and maybe easily swing the hammer. if you want to use a proxy, pay for a decent one.
Given the amount of issues that could be presented with this idea, at this time, I will be leaving this suggestion off the table. DaSoul has actually mirrored alot of what I would say, there is so many issues that can come of it, and if you want a real "proxy" you are going to have to pay for it, and if you are paying for one, its a few extra seconds to cut paste the info in for yourself. There is truly a difference between a feature and a redundant un-needed feature, and unfortunately unless you can maybe explain better the logic behind this idea, I will have to pass on it.
