Hi,

I'm trying to install BOINC behind a proxy (socks or HTTP, I can use both) on Gentoo.
I've done an emerge boinc but now, I can't set the proxy in BOINC.
The checkbox for proxy (HTTP and socks) are disabled and I don't know how to enable them .. ?

Thanks

You are allowed to run BOINC on that machine, since as it's using a proxy, I am assuming you run it from a school, university or work (or similar) where you'll probably need permission to run it?

What if you run them by command line? Can you get onto a command line (terminal)?
If you can, what happens when you run, from the BOINC programs directory, boinccmd --set_proxy_settings (your proxy settings) ??

What if you run with a cc_config.xml file which holds the following:
[code]<cc_config>
<options>
<force_auth>basic | digest | gss-negotiate | ntlm</force_auth>
</options>
</cc_config>

Choose any of the options, not all. E.g. <force_auth>basic</force_auth>

At school yeah, but that's my own system, I can do what I want.

It works fine, thanks !
