I apologize if this is a noob question, but I've been googling and searching the forums for a while to no avail.
I'm trying to mine on a network that requires a web browser to use an auto config script (.pac proxy file). Am I reading right that I cannot mine behind this? The way its configured in IE for example is under Auto config script: "
http://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac"
From the OP:
Stratum uses direct TCP connections to the pool and thus it will NOT currently
work through a http proxy but will work via a socks proxy if you need to use
one. If you input the stratum port directly into your configuration, or use the
special prefix "stratum+tcp://" instead of "http://", cgminer will ONLY try to
use stratum protocol mining.
So does this mean I would need to use -o "stratum+tcp://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac|http://miningpool:port" ? Or some version of that?
I tried several different versions of that but could not seem to get it to work.
Would appreciate any help and happily donate the first few LTC I mine to whoever can help me figure this out! :p
Thanks!
