How to Use Prime95: Setting up a Proxy Server |
For the latest information on this and other networking issues visit the FAQ
at http://mersenne.org/ips/faq.html
Create a file in the same local folder as Prime95.exe, called "primenet.ini". Add
these text lines, substituting the appropriate proxy server URL and port:
[PrimeNet Proxy]
ProxyHost=http://proxy.megacorp.com:8080
If the proxy is secured by a userid/password, add the following two text lines, substituting the appropriate values:
ProxyUser=whatever_the_userid_is
ProxyPass=whatever_the_password_is
After the first time
PrimeNet is contacted through a secure proxy, the proxy password
is encoded and a new parameter 'ProxyMask=1' set. To change the password, simply
change the ProxyPass= value, and either delete the ProxyMask text line or set ProxyMask=0.
