Proxy Help...

Tested results:

Home computer connected WebBot with Starcraft on US East at all times.
Home computer connection with my bot to Brood War on US East: failed.
Home computer connection with my bot to Brood War on US West: success.
Computer at school connection with my bot to Brood War on US East: success.
Computer at school connection with my bot to Brood War on US West: success.

WebBot also uses 0x50, according to my packet log.

Why the hell do people use 0x1E....I find it out of date and pointless.

Last I checked.. with 0x1E I could logon to a single server twice with the same cdkey using different ip addresses.

I am able to log into Starcraft with Webbot and Brood War with my bot at the same time -- I'm not sure what Webbot uses, but my bot uses 0x51.  I have one key.

Oh.. I thought only 0x1E could do this..
I used zDS bots which I assume is 0x1E and a normal starcraft game client which is 0x51 to test this about a year ago. My conclusions were wrong then if what you say is true.
I'll test it again and see what I come up.

Is it just because they are all running on separate IP's?? Or possibly proxies? Do you know how or why this is possible ?

My best guess is that it is the combination of different client ID and IP address, although as I said, I can get on both USEast and USWest simultaneously.

Ok.. I just tested it myself and no packetlogs needed since its all coded locally.

I took an old 0x1E chat bot of mine.
Set it up for 0x51 login.
And added proxy support.

I compiled and ran two copies that used 0x51.
On one I set it to login with a proxy.
On the other I set it up to login using local ip.

Then I ran the an old copy that uses 0x1E.

(none are connected yet and all three are using the same key)
So.. I started connecting.

I ran one of the 0x51 bots using a proxy.
It logged in fine.

next I ran the other 0x51 bot without a proxy.
It rejected the key and said.. Key in Use.

Then I ran the 0x1E bot without a proxy..
It logged in.

Add-On:
Oh.. And I did login a 4th bot with different key on local ip for a squelch test to make sure one of them was on a proxy

Add-On:
and checked that the 0x50/0x51 copy functioned properly when using local ip.. it is fine.

All these bots connected through the same client?

Yes.

AFAIK, I used a bot that used 0x50 and I logged on the same CDkey twice if I had a different IP.
