Install proxychains.
Then just do proxychains ./pokecli
No need to inbuilt proxy

@ddrght12345 i'm not very familiar with running proxies on a server for a python script. Do you have any suggestions to which one to use on an Ubuntu 15.04 alongside the bot?

[Unsworth94]

@firzzen example: nohup proxychains python pokecli.py -a ptc -u "$1" -p "$2" -l "$3" After installing proxychains using apt-get install proxychains then add your proxies into the /etc/proxychains.conf file

thanks @Unsworth94 , that helps a lot.

@Unsworth94 i understand that proxychains offers dynamic or random proxy usage. But what if you're running five bots at the same time? Can you use different configs for proxychains for different bots?

One option would be to use proxychains random proxy so it cycles them each time but that would look bad if you login from different locations every day, or even worse when the bot crashes and you have to login again 5 minutes after initially starting it.

@firzzen yes, you pass -f /path/to/file/proxychains-xxxx.conf to the proxychains command.

Example: proxychains -f /path/to/file/proxychains-xxxx.conf python pokecli.py -a ptc -u "$1" -p "$2" -l "$3"

@Unsworth94 Trying to run the script with proxychains -f /etc/proxychains.conf python pokecli.py -cf ./configs/config.json results in:

ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
/usr/bin/proxychains: 9: exec: -f: not found

And google isn't offering much help atm.

Check the documentation https://github.com/haad/proxychains

Thanks @Unsworth94 . The suggestion might seem very straightforward and basic but now i actually focused into the instructions and realized that you copied commands for secondary config files, not the default one :).

[Unsworth94]

Oh I thought that's what you was after! Sorry!
