Proxy setting in Meteobridge Network setup
« on: October 18, 2021, 09:54:52 AM »
Turns out I need a proxy to get from my home network to my FTP server these days (complicated and another story). MB says I can't use a proxy server that needs a username/password. Is there a workaround for this? I know I can always flash my router to use a VPN for my entire LAN but that introduces complications I don't need. Pointers very welcome.

Nope, you have to get rid of this unacceptable limitation. Is your employer forcing the proxy on you?

I had a similar situation when trying to access my FTP server remotely. At first, I was stuck with the whole username/password proxy thing, which was a hassle. I ended up using a secure proxy that worked great for me. It didn’t require all that extra login info, making my connection smooth and simple. I’d recommend checking out something like Lightning Proxies—really made a difference for me!

I did consider flashing my router for a VPN, but that felt like opening a whole can of worms, so I stuck with the proxy. Honestly, it was way easier than I thought. Just set it up, and it worked seamlessly with my network.
