I really need this to work (for yesterday!) but I can’t install beta update (says no update) to fix a bug I’m running into. Dev said update was already out but when I said my client doesn’t want to install it they just don’t respond, not even a simple yes or no about what’s happening and whether I should wait, it’s real frustrating
Anyone ever run into similar issue? My settings are correct of course (install beta checked), but beta update still won’t install. I’m on windows
Why do you need the beta? Any why Viscosity?
Because in stable there is a socks bug (they just fixed it in a beta) that prevented me from connecting with login/pass on my proxy.
I suck at these things and Viscosity was the easiest workable thing I could find for VPN + proxy with UDP. Trying to make it work in OpenVPN client goes way over my head, and from other solution there doesn’t seem to be anything out there that allows to connect with my own proxy via UDP.
(Proxifier is thinking of implementing UDP support maybe end of the year but they don’t have it yet, though it doesn’t support VPN anyway)
For working UDP, like I said. I tried just proxy method but all these tools out there that claimed to work with UDP don’t work (many of which super old hosted on obscure sites and likely to contain viruses, with worrying positives when scanned via virus total, so I gave up on trying)
I could maybe consider Proxifier if they truly implement UDP, and go proxy alone, but I guess there is allure to extra VPN protection too.
Why not just a VPN? Why both?
Because VPN is no good. I want my seen IP to be my proxy. With workable UDP connections.
What’s the functional problem with the VPN? A VPN should handle UDP traffic with no issue and the source IP would be the tunnel endpoint.
Because VPN IPs may still be connected to VPN servers, even dedicated ones, since VPNs are far more popular, and traffic labelled as VPN. Proxy bought from an obscure provider is another matter and never caused me issues on websites.
It sounds like you’re making things a lot more complicated than they need to be.
or maybe that’s exactly how I need them to be. Was hoping for some insight about my current dilemma with Viscosity (in which I can achieve that), not being questioned lol
Understanding the use case when vague questions are asked usually leads to discovery and usually design improvements so you don’t find yourself in emergent situations in the future wherein you need something you cannot access.
Or I could just pay someone to write code for me and have it done via scripts or OpenVPN just fine, but I’m low on cash rn and besides what’s stopping me is some anomalous bug devs refuse to comment on so far. Just my luck
What are you trying to do that is so exotic that bespoke development is necessary
