How would I tell if my socks4 proxy is banned from battle.net? I am currently working on a brute force program. It establishes a connection with the proxy, and the request is granted for the battle.net connection. So I send my user & pass, but then nothing happens. The connection with the proxy stays alive (or at least i think so, because winsock_close is yet to be called), but it just hangs. When i try the password, should I just create a timer, that when is elapsed (i dont know how to word that), just remove the proxy from the list and reconnect? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't believe that Winsock control has a way in detecting whether or not a proxy (SOCKS 4/5) is currently ip banned from a server. There may be a way to do so though. You should probably send that proxy to a "waiting list" and call it again some seconds later, during this time you can attempt to connect through other proxies.

Ok thanks, thats all I needed to know.
