Title: Are there any mining pools that work through proxy servers/firewalls? Post by: rlh on July 22, 2011, 04:58:08 PM I have a kick-ass computer at my work that I would LOVE to have mining. My problem is that my office has a proxy server/ and a firewall that blocks a ton of a-typical ports-- 8332 is one of them.
Is there a mining that has can be used through a proxy that also uses a port like 8080 for communication? So far, the only miner that I've been able to use is BitcoinPlus.com since it's Java/Browser based. It works, but as you can imagine the has rate is awful.

But don't use the computer for mining if your employer does not condone with it. If you get fired it's not worth mining 5 BTC a month. ;) Title: Re: Are there any mining pools that work through proxy servers/firewalls?

(The mainpool runs at 8080 since ages back by the way... :) Just connect to http://bitcoins.lc and you're ready to go) |
