Hey y'all, relatively new here and I'm excited to dive deeper into the bitcoin world.
I have Braiins OS+ and am looking to install their proxy service as well on my mine but I'm pretty confused as to how the proxy works. How do I know what server port my ASICs are connected to? I need to configure the proxy for multiple pools as I have some of my friends' machines here as well.

Are you talking about the farm proxy of the BraiinsOS?
If I'm right according to them it is used to "Reduce data loads, configure parallel usage of multiple pools, set backup pools, and more (https://braiins.com/farm-proxy)".

About setting it up better read their documentation about this you can read the documentation below on how to set up this proxy.

How many miners do you plan on connecting to the proxy? it could be just a waste of time and effort if the number is small.


You can create as many servers on the proxy as you want, you can create

1-

Name - Myserver
Port - 5555
Pool  - Viabtc
Worker - Myworker

2-

Name - Friend1
Port - 6666
Pool  - Viabtc
Worker - Friend1Worker

3-

Name - Friend2
Port - 7777
Pool  - Braiin
Worker - Friend2Worker

---------------------------------------

This will create 3 local mining pools on your PC/ raspi or whatever

Then on your miner:

Pool URL : IP-Adderss of the PC the hosts the proxy + port number (5555)
Worker: Myworker.1
Password:x

On your Friend1 miner
Pool URL : IP-Adderss of the PC the hosts the proxy + port number (6666)
Worker: Friend.1
Password:x

--------------------------------------------

The worker on the miner itself will not reflect on the pool it would be just for you to watch on the proxy screen.

Setting up a proxy is not so hard yet not so easy, so if you don't have a few dozen gears -- probably a waste of time.

You might want to check out stratu.ms proxy service. You can manage the proxy via a web front-end, I've found this is easier to use than the config files in Braiins farm proxy.

To send hashrate to multiple pools in stratu.ms, you can create multiple proxy instances. You can also create sub-accounts to view / manage a specific proxy instance.
