dstm, Sorry for being persistent, but is there any way to use your miner with a proxy? EWBF, ccminer and, basically, any other miner I've used worked flawlessly with my HTTP proxy server.

Don't hesitate to ask Smiley

Could you please describe in more detail how you setup your proxy - I'll try to reproduce why it isn't working.
Sure. I'm using latest 3proxy, my current config looks like this

Has all internet access pass trough the proxy? i.e. is everything else blocked?
Nope, there are some basic service ports opened (i.e. 23, 80, 443 etc. + a couple of special ports, like 20017, which I'm using in a config I've posted earlier), but everything else is closed.
So if there's a need to connect to some exotic pool ports like 3333 etc., I have to individually re-route specific miners through the proxy.

This is why it's not working, you have to open 3443 for zm. Zm won't work if it can't submit dev fee shares.
Thanks! That's exactly what I thought the reason was, actually Wink
You should mention it somewhere in description here, could be useful for other people using port forwarding/proxy.
However, for people like me (with isolated local networks, limited number of open ports and no access to external port management) - there is another issue. It seems you've hardcoded pool addresses for devfee, so they don't actually went through proxy even if I forward the right port (3443 in my case). I've managed to solve it easily by additionally remapping local port AND pool hostname (3proxy+edited windows hosts file, in my case). Hope it also come in handy for others...
