Hi

I am new in bitcoin mining and I have been trying some different configurations. I own a 6950 unlocked and got 400mhash/s with certain clocks. All is ok in this computer with direct internet connection but I have one internet access with a proxy between and I want to ask if I can use that internet proxy connection for mining.

It is because in that place I can build a dedicate mining server with fans etc.

Thanks in advance

Should be fine, just use Proxify or something similar to proxy the program.

thanks but I mean the proxy is in my internet access. I tried guiminer and when it tries to connect puts and error of problems connecting. In my windows internet configuration I have a proxy to go out to the internet with and ip and port 8080

I want guiminer to use that proxy and port to go out to the internet

Yes I know what you said, download Proxifier (http://www.proxifier.com/) to make GUIMiner do that.

thanks, that's what I was looking for

one more question, why people use proxys like anonymous proxys in the internet for mining? to prevent password stealing or something like that?

You don't need to. The only things people can do with your miners passwords are mine for you.
