still seeing my own public address, while using rotating proxy

[appsectr]

I use rotating proxy and don't get any error, but when I check the public ip address from another tab, I still see my own public ip, not the proxies'.

how do you check the public ip address?

[appsectr]

I checked from another tab when browser is opened by the tool and additionally I changed proxy mode to premium, created proxy file, then looked for proxy ips in tcpdump.

[MShawon]

don't know about tcpdump maybe add a screenshot of yours?
but do you see the proxy IP if you go to these links https://httpbin.org/ip or https://ipof.me/

[appsectr]

Yes, i see my own public address.

can you share your config.json?

        "host": "0.0.0.0",

    },

seems to be a bug in Chrome itself? because works just fine on windows. But on Linux, if I don't refresh the extension it won't work. As far as I remember it was working fine on Linux. refreshing extension every time chrome starts seems to be the only solution. Check if going back to an earlier version of google chrome still causes this issue.

Thanks, it works on windows 10. I will check for old chrome version in ubuntu.

but you shouldn't use a rotating proxy in this way if your rotating proxy changes IP on each request(a single video goes through different IPs). thus session won't be managed and views will be deleted. Rather use proxy API in rotating proxy mode... script will download the proxy list through that link on each thread and will randomly use one proxy and the session will be managed.. in your case from the proxy list export section you will see a link use that as API

Thanks a lot for the tip :)
