Add proxy option

[mehti1367]

Hi there, I'm living in a country which banned bandcamp website, it would be nice you guys add proxy option (sock5) to it thanks...

Hi,

deezer

This app is for Bandcamp only.

[mehti1367]

sorry that's typo

BandcampDownloader already supports the system proxy. Did you try setting a proxy in Windows settings?

[mehti1367]

Excuse me what are you mean system proxy?I just seen a "Save current setting" button, I'm using Tor Bundler Proxy which means an internal proxy to use it on another apps, it's not tunnel all internet traffic like VPNs, I know if i use a VPN to tunnel all my traffic BandcampDowloader will works fine, But my goal is only tunnel BandcampDownloader if there is a option for that,The tor bundler gives a internal proxy like 127.0.0.1:9050, so inside the app must be an option to put that adress:port like every proxy over the internet.

I meant this:

But this will redirect all traffic of your machine to your proxy, and from what you just said it doesn't seem to be what you want, right?

[mehti1367]

I know this, I dont want tunnel all my traffic trough a proxy on LAN setting(As some of website out there need my actuall ip, it's really risky to me)

So if you mind, Add option that could handle external proxies, Most popluar app has this option like mozilla: https://malzo.com/i/2018/12/07/h5h.png

With this method, it is possible to use spcific proxy only on this app.

Got it. I'll see what I can do. 👍

[mehti1367]

Awesome! Note that it would be nice this option support all protocol like HTTP, Socks5, HTTPS etc...

[Otiel]

First version will be HTTP / SSL only.

SOCKS is a little more tricky...

[Otiel]

Can you try the new version and let me know if it works with a HTTP proxy?

[mehti1367]

Yeap. Works very well, See my screen record:

Much Appreciated!

[Otiel]

Thanks for the feedback.

Closing this for now. I'll revisit the SOCKS option if there is more demand.
