Connect GW2 through VPN Proxy

[Skyline.1970]

Hi,

is it possible to connect GW2 using a vpn proxy on a remote server ?

If it's so, how this could be made ? I'm trying changing commands line switch with any success.

 

Thx

As fas as I know, Guild Wars uses the systems proxy to connect, thus the one you configure in the internet options. You probably need to set up your proxy there.

Hi Nokomis,

thx for reply!

I thought the same as well and tried to setup proxy in the internet options -> lan settings but it seems gw2 ignore that settings :

 


 

where xx.xx.xx.xx is the remote vpn proxy server (privoxy) that is running on port 8118

 

Are there some other settings to be done ?

 

Thx

Hmmm what happens, when you let Guild Wars run on port 8118? Done via -clientport 8118

A standard proxy is something a program has to support in order to use. It's not something you can simply turn on like a VPN. It is possible to force it by using software like FreeCap, but it's not ideal. A VPN on the other hand act likes a network connection, so everything will naturally go through it. See OpenVPN for that.
