Title: How to get BitsharesX to run over a socks proxy?
Post by: Chef on October 15, 2014, 05:30:21 am

Is it possible to setup BitsharesX to run over a socks proxy?

I'm using the Mac client.

I don't know if the client supports proxies (socks or not) in application, but you could certainly run it through torsocks (directed to the socks proxy of your choice, or tor.)

I'm having some trouble getting torsocks to work with bitshares-x.  Here is my output.
