Proxies are used for bot account logins and tweet posting. GenX supports HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies with authentication.
Adding Proxies
Navigate to Proxies tab and click Add Proxy.
Supported formats:
http://host:port
http://username:password@host:port
socks5://host:port
socks5://username:password@host:port
Proxy Status
| Status | Description |
|---|
active | Tested and working |
dead | Failed connectivity test |
unknown | Not yet tested |
Testing Proxies
GenX tests proxies by connecting to httpbin.org through them:
- Single test: Click Test on any proxy
- Bulk test: Select multiple proxies and click Test Selected
- Timeout: 10 seconds per test
Each test updates:
- Status (active/dead)
- Check count
- Fail count
- Last checked timestamp
Proxy Assignment
Proxies can be assigned to specific bot accounts. When posting a reply:
- GenX checks for an account-assigned proxy first
- Falls back to any active user proxy
- Falls back to system-level proxy (if configured)
- Fails if no proxy is available
Best Practices
Assign dedicated proxies to high-volume bot accounts to avoid rate limiting.
Dead proxies are not automatically retried. Regularly test your proxy pool to ensure uptime.
