PProxy Questions

[Athlex]

Is there any such thing as a GUI interface for the DNet PProxy? I'm running it on a windows machine and it'd be nice to tuck it away in the tray like the client rather than have it in the bottom bar and appear as "winoldap" in my task list.
Another quick question- how can I set the proxy to override the 1000 block download limit?
Thanks- atx

This is what the pertinent part of my .ini file looks like:

[rc564]
logfilekeyblock=pproxyrc5
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=25000
maxkeysready=50000
maxkeysdone=3

By default, the pproxy will start at the 1000 limit, but after 30 minutes, will reevaluate your needs and adjust accordingly (I think it allows for 3 days of work).

As for a win verion, there isn't one that I have heard off 🙁

I see, so the proxy adjusts the blocks it downloads based on keyrate. I was wondering because sometimes the keys ready sticks around 1000 and other times it's closer to the 4000 I set...

There are some Personal Proxy Statistics Generators that will read your pproxy files and let you put a shortcut on your desktop to check your herd's stats.

My favorite is FredZeGreat's AnalyzR for NT, but the dang directions are in French. 😕 (but I figured it out)

You can also install the pproxy as a service, just like the client. You won't be able to monitor it, then, though ...

Of course, you can still monitor it through the log files.

Yeah you can still monitor it when running it as a service.
Mine is setup as a service under W2K, the stats generator runs as a scheduled task every 15min, makes it's little html file, then updates to my webspace thru a ftp-putit type script.

You don't have to make it update to your webspace, you can leave it as a local page.

The log files are not running as a service, just the proxyper.exe.
Any stats generator would still have access to the log files.

To bypass the block limitation on the pproxy, add this under the block lines under RC5

expertmode=1

Then it will download all the blocks you tell it to, up to 200,000 I believe.

Jator, that expertmode parameter did the trick. Thanks!
