Title: help with Bitcoin through a proxy server that requires authentication Post by: CubedRoot on May 25, 2011, 02:18:13 PM Hello all, I am trying to get my Bitcoin client to work at the office. OF course the port BitCoin uses is blocked, but I have a proxy on my co-located server that uses authentication I would like to connect Bitcoin through.
I tried starting bitcoin with the following run command: "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe" -proxy=proxyuser:proxypass@proxyaddy.net:23 but it returns the error "invalid proxy-ip" and doesnt launch. Is it possible to run bitcoin or bitcoind through this proxy?
