Are You Tired Of Realm Down??

[SBC'soneandonly]

well i know we all are, the damn ip bans they stick upon us, i hope the gods smite blizzard for making realm downs!! But now it doesnt matter, below is a way to get around it. What your doing is loading Diablo on a proxy with an entirely different ip, thus making no more realm down. You will need 1 program which is located here:http://archive.socks.permeo.com/cgi-bin/download.pl


After installation and you open it, you should see this:[img]http://*******.net/include/hot/SC-settings.jpg[/img]

In the field "SOCKS Server:" enter the socks server you are going to use. In the field "Port:" enter the port of the socks server you are using (the default port for a socks server is 1080). Make sure that the socks server you are using is either a Socks 4 or Socks 4/5 server (both v4 and v5 are useable on that server). Make sure that the bullet next to "Socks Version 4" is selected. In the field "SOCKS User ID:" anything is acceptable. Put your name, or your nickname, or simply put "none". Click "Apply" and "OK" and proceed.

Step 6: You'll have a window that looks like this:

Press the "New" Button. You'll get a box that looks like this:

For "Profile Name:" you can enter anything, for this tutorial I'm going to use "Diablo II". In "Command Line:" you can either type out the path to your Diablo II file or you can click the Browse button and find it easier. If you used the Browse method, then the "Working Directory" was automatically filled in for you. If you typed it in manually, you can leave the "Working Directory" blank and click OK. It will fill it in for you. Before you press OK it should look like this:

If it is correct, press OK and procede to the next step.

Side Note: If you run Diablo II in windowed mode, or use the -mpq or other extensions, you can edit them in the "Command Line:" part.

Step 7: Now select the profile that you made. Click on the button that says "Run!" labeled below.

Step 8: Play the game (or use the application) as you usually would. But, now you are connecting to the game server through the socks server, which acts as a "inbetween man". The game server see's the socks server's IP instead of yours. And you just screwed over Blizzards ip ban!! WOOT gotta love it.


Here is a site for free proxies: http://www.checker.freeproxy.ru/chec...ed_proxies.php

the site will give i sumthin like this: 212.20.206.53:8080 During set up, you would enter everything before : in server, and the numbers after in port. So: Server would be 212.20.206.53 and Port would be 8080.

I take no credit for this, this comes from *******.net

[Shellz]

Thx for that....ill try when i get realm down

[SBC'soneandonly]

well, sometimes some of the proxies are down, you have to fiddle around with the ips and mess =\, find one thats online

[DaRkStAr]

nice, this should be stickied

[SpreadNeedleXP]

Nice and complicated. How bout use WINIPCFG, and just reset it.:

[SBC'soneandonly]

1. never heard of it
2. some ppl, such as me, cant change their ips because they cant connect if they do

[fusion50]

Lmao you stole that from a different site you little leecher if only you had the brain to come up with it yourself, besides theres an easier way to do it socks doesnt work more than half the time.

[SBC'soneandonly]

o sh**, didnt put the site at bottom, i didnt take credit for it either =\ i just thought i had site at bottom, damn flamers

[SpreadNeedleXP]

1. never heard of it
2. some ppl, such as me, cant change their ips because they cant connect if they do

Reconnect. Its fast.:

[SBC'soneandonly]

i use wireless cable, ip comes from DCHP or some crap like that, so if i cahnge ip it wont connect to internet, and i tried the winipcfg, it just keeps goin to same ip i had, so i cant change mine without being unable to connect

just a lil curious when u say u screw up blizz ip ban does this mean we cant get our ip banned at all or just rd?

[Shellz]

it just masks your REAL ip so to blizz the ip hasnt been banned.

I play on uswest and today i was ip banned >< i down loaded Socks and set it up and run diablo2. At first it seemed to work. Usually i cant get past "connecting to fastest server" but this time it just got to accessing account, then got an error message that my connection wasnt working. I have tryed all the Socks servers on that site and still no luck. I can play on any realm except uswest. plz help

[FilMeBals]

well i usin this prog i it seems a lot faster but i cant get it to work w/my mh or my bots. is there a way to set it up to work w/these programs?

[SBC'soneandonly]

sometimes the ip's might be down, then if you dont have dial-up then your screwed. And i havent found a way to use mh or nething with it yet

im having the same problem...someone plz help

[SBC'soneandonly]

if the socks servers are down, you can try going to your start menu, going to run, and running winipcfg, renew the ips. Or if your on dial-up, just hang up connection and reconnect
