I notice on the new API login there is an option to use a proxy server. I know what a server is but what is a proxy (Or should that read poxy server

) server? I have tried to research it on the internet and even used 'for dummies' to get a layman's explanation but I am still non the wiser :oops:

Please help this computer numpty.

SImpliest explanation that I can think of.

Without Proxy:
If you are from USA and will connect to Betfair, they will see you as connecting from USA.

Using a UK Proxy.
If you are from USA and using a UK server, Betfair will see you as connecting from UK

Ah so, it's like a VPN then. Thanks rourkem.

Thanks for the link Mark. So there seems to be very little difference apart from a server may be faster.

Hi Guys,

We are in Australia and unable to bet in the run on sports.

Will a proxy server based in the UK get around this or is there another way.
