Posted June 16, 200519 yr I've goddamn posted this on a jillion forums, and little real help is out there. Why are you interested? You want to evade bans on your IP using socks5 proxies. So here's a post I made on steampowered (with link to a post @ vbforums) so I don't have to retype it all: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=302714&highlight=socks5 Yes, poke fun at VB*, but I find it amusing these same people who find VB.NET incompetent for some reason are using C# themselves :P To put in summary my question for those of you who aren't going to read all of that: I need to figure out why the SOCKS5 servers I am using aren't responding to a UDP ASSOCIATE request as the damn RFC says they should. I assume lots of people leave this out since they think nobody will use it.
