SOCKS5 & HTTP Proxy Settings For MSN
Proxy Server addresses and ports used for our socks5 proxies, can be found in our members login area. The port to use for each server will be listed on the same line as the server ip address. If you experience any problems while using these instructions, check your configuration and be sure that you are using the correct user name and password. Also be sure that there is not a space before or after the ip address, user name or password. If there are left over spaces from a copy and paste, the server will not work. If you have checked everything, try another proxy server from a different area of our list. Rather then trying another proxy server or machine, first try another network. IP addresses starting with 38.96.x are from one upstream provider and ip addresses starting with 66.38.x are from another. It is not likely that both routes would be down at the same time. Though we rarely experience problems, here is a partial map of upstream providers that will help you in choosing different ip's if you are experiencing problems.

Upstream #1 38.96.x (cogent usa)
Upstream #2 66.38.x (bell canada)
Upstream #3 65.91.x (broadwing USA)
Upstream #4 64.46.x (bigpipe Canada)

You do not need to be a rocket scientist to use a proxy. If you have tried a couple different networks and are still having problems, contact our technical support department. There may be something wrong with your account.

Email support is provided 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Setting Up MSN For The Proxy

Step #1

First you will need a proxy server account
There are two different types of proxy accounts that work with these configurations in MSN. You can choose from USA only proxy servers or USA + Off shore access. At this time, the USA option gives you access to over 300 broadband proxy servers and the off shore gives you access to over 600 total proxies. (since we are growing, please click on the links above to view current server numbers)

STOP HERE BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
THIS PROGRAM WORKS BEST THROUGH Proxy Firewall
There is no need to continue if you download Proxy Firewall. Proxy Firewall is an automatic proxy selector that will simply and easily manage proxy connections for you. Proxy Firewall does all of the work. There will be no need for you to configure your Internet programs to use a proxy, just answer Proxy Firewall's questions when asked.

Step #2

Select which proxy you would like to use
Before we get started you will need to select which proxy server from our list that you would like to use. All that you will need to start is to go to the members area and bring up the socks5 or http (or both) proxy list. Each proxy server has an IP address and socks port listed next to it. There are different types of names to choose from, such as: DNS Spoofed (example: billy.microsoft.com), Vanity (example: bet.u.cant.find.me.cause.im.on.my. proxymachine.com) and normal looking ISP (example: anderson.city.park.united-wireless.net) It does not matter which you choose, it is the users personal preference on how they want to show up on the net.

Write down the IP and port for the proxy that you would like to start with.

Note: Socks5 or Proxy Firewall Works best for this program
Example: Socks IP: 66.38.243.129 Port:1095
Example: HTTP IP: 38.96.193.162 Port: 38130

Step #3

Start up MSN

Configure MSN to use the proxy server by opening your the program to get it ready for these instructions.
(different versions of MSN may vary depending on newer/older options and versions)

Click on the Tools and then choose Options as shown below




Step #4

As shown in the capture below:
Click on Connection
Click on the Advanced Settings button



Step #5

As shown in the capture below:
1. Put a check in the box for SOCKS version 5
2. Type in the proxy ip address in the Socks 5 Server: area from the socks5 list in step # 2.
3. Type in the proxy Port: from the socks5 list in step # 2
4. Enter your proxy user name and password that you selected for our service in the Socks 5 User ID and password section.




Socks 5 is the best protocol to use for MSN and other messenger type programs because the socks connections do not time out as easily as HTTP connections do. You can choose to use HTTP or HTTPS connections at your own risk, but this could cause your MSN or other messenger programs to instantly close their connections without warning.

Step #5

Click on the Test SOCKS 5 Connection button



Click on OK until you are back to the main MSN screen.
Restart your MSN and reconnect. It will now be using the socks 5 proxy.
