Configuring devine to use a proxy

[dwk33]

I'm trying to get devine to use a proxy for some services, but I can't figure out the syntax for the devine.yaml file, or make --proxy work. I've got a NordVPN account, so I probably need to put the logon details somewhere and then I need to tell devine to use a proxy for a particular service.

Anybody made this work?

I should say that devine is in general very easy to use, and I can get round the problem by setting my computer to the right country, but that's a bit inflexible.

I couldn't find clear guidance on how to configure devine.yaml or unshackle.yaml to automatically use NordVPN if necessary, but I've now worked it out from the code. The important thing is proxy-providers!

The syntax is (the indents seem to disappear but are probably not important)

proxy-providers:
nordvpn:
username: <>
password: <>

Note:
1. All the keywords must be in lower-case.
2. The username and password are the service credentials and not user logon. I think they are always 24 characters long.
3. You can also request country-specific servers.
4. The important document is the Config Documentation, which is helpful once you know how to read it!

https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine/blob/main/packages/envied/src/envied/envied-wor...g-example.yaml been there all the while...

So it has, but I've never looked at twinvine! Also, unshackle-example.yaml has proxy-providers, so I could have found it from there when I installed envied.

But I didn't get a reply to my original post in May, so I went about finding the syntax the hard way, and discovered a bit more about how the code works. It's been an interesting journey...

This helped me too. Thanks!

Thanks moustos!

Do the Nord VPN details need to go on any particular line number ?

[dwk33]

No - but you must keep the order shown above, all in lower-case and with no blank lines separating them. And you have to find your NordVPN service credentials.
If you're still having trouble, post your unshackle.yaml file (with your credentials edited out - but include the number of characters).
