✅ RestSharp not using given Proxy

Hey all!
I know this is quite off topic from regular C# as this post is bound to a NuGet Package but maybe someone here knows how to help me
Im trying to get my RestSharp requests run through proxies but somehow RestSharp is always using my real public IP address even tho im giving proper arguments and setting the proxy correctly
my

WebProxy

WebProxy

object knows the IP i gave to it, but it seems that

RestClient

RestClient

is just completely ignoring it and i couldnt find anything about it on the internet yet
any help is greatly appreciated!

How exactly do you determine that restsharp isn't using the proxy?

How do you "make a request to ifconfig"?

Ah there's actually a website with that name. I only know it as the name of the Linux util

thats how i know what IP im using

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 8:05 PM

and i checked the proxy and all

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 8:05 PM

it parses the proxy properly and stuff

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 8:06 PM

Had to restructure a bit the image you've sent, but for me it does the job

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:8000/")
{
  BypassProxyOnLocal = false,
  UseDefaultCredentials = false
};

RestClientOptions options = new()
{
  Proxy = proxy,
  MaxTimeout = 2000
};
RestClient client = new(options);

client.ExecuteGet(new RestRequest("https://google.com/"));

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:8000/")
{
  BypassProxyOnLocal = false,
  UseDefaultCredentials = false
};

RestClientOptions options = new()
{
  Proxy = proxy,
  MaxTimeout = 2000
};
RestClient client = new(options);

client.ExecuteGet(new RestRequest("https://google.com/"));

Maybe the problem's with the proxy? That if there's any problem to begin with

Actually no. The protocol is wrong, it should be in plural

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:13 PM

socks?

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:13 PM

it worked fine before its confusing to me that it just stopped

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:14 PM

now its not able to make the request in the first place

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:15 PM

the server isnt responding with any value at all

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:16 PM

its so weird

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:20 PM

ill try to use the default webclient

Instinct•2/19/23, 11:23 PM

WebClient

WebClient

should be avoided, use

HttpClient

HttpClient

in its stead

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:23 PM

yes yes

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:23 PM

that

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:23 PM

i switched it up

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:28 PM

still a null response from https://ifconfig.me

What Is My IP Address? - ifconfig.me

Get my IP Address

The Fog from Human ResourcesOP•2/19/23, 11:31 PM

Was this issue resolved? If so, run

/close

/close

otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.

Solution: The Proxy API I was using for socks5 proxies started replying with http and https proxies that mostly didn't work
Therefore couldn't connect to a socks protocol URL

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:8000/") { BypassProxyOnLocal = false, UseDefaultCredentials = false }; RestClientOptions options = new() { Proxy = proxy, MaxTimeout = 2000 }; RestClient client = new(options); client.ExecuteGet(new RestRequest("https://google.com/"));
