How to Use Prime95: Setting up a Proxy Server

# SETTING UP A PROXY SERVER

For the latest information on this and other networking issues visit the FAQ at http://mersenne.org/ips/faq.html Create a file in the same local folder as Prime95.exe, called "primenet.ini". Add these text lines, substituting the appropriate proxy server URL and port:

> [PrimeNet Proxy]
> ProxyHost=http://proxy.megacorp.com:8080

If the proxy is secured by a userid/password, add the following two text lines, substituting the appropriate values:

> ProxyUser=whatever_the_userid_is
> ProxyPass=whatever_the_password_is

After the first time PrimeNet is contacted through a secure proxy, the proxy password is encoded and a new parameter 'ProxyMask=1' set. To change the password, simply change the ProxyPass= value, and either delete the ProxyMask text line or set ProxyMask=0.
