MrBeep and all related services

[Jongi]

Have you configured the following services:

WinMX
Azureus
Kazaaor lite

 

[DaveBuchanan1337]

ooh, you badboy

 

[slimothy]

problem is with all of those services (not torrents though) they scan for open proxies, if you have a open proxy then it will give you low or no priority

 

[Jongi]

ooh, you badboy

bad boys. bad boys. what you gonna do? what you gonna do when they come for you? bad boys. bad boys. bad boys.

 

[seburn]

Azureus works fine limewire works fine not sure bout other 2.

Mr Beep's proxy is no longer just an open one btw.

 

[Jongi]

Yeah I got option 2
Seburn, how did you configure azureus?

 

[seburn]

Just put proxy in under connection settings I can't remember exactly where it was and don't have it available to to check at work but remember to select socks v4 not v5

 

[slimothy]

you cant optimize it anyway, its a normal proxy, a socks proxy.

and and seburn the only difference between socks 4 and 5 is 5 supports authentication

jongi go to the options and its right there on the first screen, you have 2 options you can either use the proxy for tracker communications or peer and tracker communications, you only have to specify v4 or 5 with peer communications not tracker ones and for peer communications you should select v5 actually NOT v4

problem with iburst now is they shape with connection counts as well, so the old trick of tweaking azureus to open hundreds of connections to get 1KB/s from each and hopefully get full speed will no longer work and once you get about 16 peers/seeds you will notice a slow down in both traffic through the proxy and normal traffic.

The only way to get around that sort of shaping is to use a SSH tunnel, that way you only ever have one connection as far as iburst is concerned AND all communication is encrypted so it cannot be packet shaped

 

[seburn]

Erm sorry about the v4 thing seems I set it to v5 but I do remeber it not working with v5 before and not v4. Since it is set to v5 I will assume that to be correct.

Under Tools ->options
port 8080
bind=
max connections pref 0 (remember the more you send the more you recieve)
tick enable tracker
tick i have socks proxy
type in proxy details
tick enable peer
tick inform tracker
choose v5
tick use same blah blah

at bottom i advice u to change mtu to 1352 - although it prob doesn;t do anything

BTW slim I had it working with tracker and peer and I had up to 50 ppl connected depending on seeds peers avail

However without proxy that was up to 5

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Sorry to ask this question here, but where can I get the proxy address that Mr.Beep is supplying?

Sorry buddy, I think your imagining things

Azureus only support tracker proxy support, the actually data can not be proxied with azureus.

nope, azureus allows you to use a proxy for tracker AND/OR peer communication. If you just want tracker communication proxied you can enter any proxy, even a normal HTTP one, however if you want to proxy peer data you need to enter a socks proxy in the 'proxy peer communication' section

Azureus has had proxy support for peer and tracker communication since like last year, hey dont you run a proxy service that deals with this kinda stuff?

Ssh?

"The only way to get around that sort of shaping is to use a SSH tunnel, that way you only ever have one connection as far as iburst is concerned AND all communication is encrypted so it cannot be packet shaped"

can you elaborate on the SSH thing please?

 

[seburn]

I love just making up random crap Clipse!
See I am doing it again dispite the FACT that I have used the proxy as stated above and it worked ... and it worked well!

Get your facts straight and don't argue against soemthing you haven't tryed.

yeah mate, its pretty simple, you connect to a server you have a secure shell on (ssh) and then you can use port forwarding rules to tunnel through that connection so that your data flows like this

application -> SSH -> destination

everything is encrypted at your box so by the time it gets to the packet shaper it doesnt look like bad traffic, theres a number of techniques but what you probably want to do is get a ssh program to make a fake proxy on localhost then send all your data to the localhost proxy and then have it forwarded to the destination by the server.

If that sounds a bit funny to you then go read the tutorial i did in the technical help section about bypassing the WBS SMTP server with SSH tunneling, take the same principles and apply it to p2p data.

It is important to note that the traffic is port shaped on the default SSH port (22), so a theoretical limit of 8KB/s will always be in effect, but theres 2 things to remember, firstly with something like say bittorrent you can have that 8KB/s multiple times over for each connection, so if you had 15 peers giving 8KB/s each you get 120KB/s total speed, the second thing to remember is if you can change the port SSH listens on to a priority port you can get full speed on one thread.

You wont get 120KB/s just because of the TCP overhead and the encryption/decryption but you can expect 100KB/s - 110KB/s

yeah man, clipse runs a proxy service for gamers/p2p users etc, so its his business to know this sort of thing and yet here he is making stuff up and accusing you of being the idiot... its pretty reflective of his business plan I think, know nothing and hope to make a quick buck off already ripped off ZA broadband users.

I mean theres coutnless material on the forums written by myself and others that details using azureus and proxies to redirect peer communication but apparantly it still hasnt sunk in for him. Thats the good thing about competition, now that clipse has shown he doesnt know anything about proxies and p2p users would have better luck with mrbeep

Thanks allot 4 the reply Slimothy

 

[lostvicking]

another SSH question

Slimothy, read your how-to on setting up SSH for email - its very helpfull however I dont know what to enter for the HostName field in Session when configuring Putty, I tried my IP but I got a "Netwrok Connection Refused" error when connecting , if you could enlighten me there I would really appreciate it
