I put in a proxy and if it cannot use that proxy, tixate I suspect goes in clear and issues no warning. Can this be looked into quickly because its pretty dangerous.

Also a feature request, if a user like me could enter say 20 proxies and if one failed it could switch to the next would be great.

look at the picture of the proxy settings here https://support.tixati.com/settings%20-%20network%20-%20proxy

you see at the bottom of the settings box, where it says IMPORTANT: in all caps like that

make sure you read and understand that part ... you must disable UDP when using proxy, it takes 2 seconds

proxys are not so great anyways, sometimes they log each connection src-dst, so not good for hiding so much

use a VPN, that's the standard way to do it these days

by the way, i just test to make sure, and when the proxy fails it says things like "proxy timed out" and other errors... does not keep going.

I did that about proxies before. I prefer proxy to VPN and I want to keep using proxies.

Where did you see the message the proxy failed? I think if a proxy fails it should stop not continue as it does now.

look in the peers or trackers tab, status column... peers won't connect, all fails with "proxy timed out" etc if you enter a bad proxy or the proxy is temporarily down or a simple connection failure happens.


Nonsense.  That would be very annoying and impractical to have a single connection fail and that stops the entire program.

The way it works now is correct.  If your proxy does not work, your connection fails.

It does not stop if the proxy fails, I have tested it. It does by the way stop in utorrent which is what it should do.

To make work that it should continue please see my programming request for the ability to enter in a few proxies and for tixatr to cycle thru them

It is working now, I changed proxies maybe that had something to do with that.

Any public proxy you are not paying for has a relatively high likelihood of being intermittently down.

There are three issues here, the first is that such private proxies are often desirable because they are free, next even paid proxies get busy, go down and so drop out and finally having several proxies should give more speed.

Since you made the thread, then perhaps you could edit the TITLE for something like "REQUEST: have a default/list of proxies to use"

I made the comment about public proxies. And I understand the desire to use one. One thing to understand every extra link you put between you and the internet affects your speed/connections.
As the settings pane makes clear you can only MAKE OUTBOUND TCP connections with such settings in place. If you're going for security, then you have to turn off the other options (UDP and incoming) thereby making you appear less in others lists (some people don't do TCP since its the most affected by shaping)

If you're going for anonymity with a TOR or other abstraction above your layer understand many nodes block non-web traffic for that reason, it places strain for "non essential use"
If you're paying for a proxy in many cases it would be better applied paying for a VPN in another country which would essentially BE your proxy to the internet.
It all depends on your infrastructure you want to setup/maintain/pay for.

As far as OP title/topic I think without error messages to report there's nothing to see here. (When I get a status error more than once I look up the meaning/number, if you SHARE what you see that would help anyone with this issue)

Your point about the TITLE is valid, it was not my intent to do this it just sort of happened.

As far as the speed, in theory a proxy should slow down but somehow in practice this is not true why I am not sure but I suspect it may have something to do with the ISP monitoring.  

TOR is too slow so I do not use it.

My VPN plan comes with a proxy plan and as I stated I prefer to use proxies. Its easier to use. VPN are riskier, they fall down unexpectedly and you are then in clear. As all your traffic is going on one IP, it looks suspicious plus for most of my traffic I have no security issues.
