Setting up proxy

[PuddinPants]

When using proxys I just get an IP:port, how do i set this up in the config? Do you use http or https?

Right now im using
PROXIES = {'https':'https://xxx.xx.x.xxx:xxxx'}

and I dont think its working properly

Thanks!

I don't use proxy by myself, so I won't be an expert here, but try setting the same value for both http and https. It should be an URL in form of socks5://12.34.56.78:9012/ or something similar.

note: if you use socks you will also need to pip install pysocks

my working setting with proxy over ssh:

PROXIES = {'http':  'socks5://localhost:5004',
           'https': 'socks5://localhost:5004'}

with
ssh -D 5004 [email protected]

Do I have to use socks5 if i have it installed or can it be done without?

Sorry for being new, what does the ssh -D 5004 command do?

@PuddinPants its 1:1 what 1 use. So guess yeah socks5
you should know what ssh does if you try this
-D 5004 binds your local port 5004 to that connection. So every request that you send to your local port goes through that connection

@Aiyubi so where and how do we use the ssh -D 5004 command?
