For those using PS3 Proxy to bypass the 3.21 PS3 FW update, d0zs has tossed together a simple program to autostart PS3 proxy server and run it in the background.
Quote from d0zs:
ever wanted to auto-start your PS3 proxy server and run it as a background service? i made this little tool to do just that by controlling the api of PS3.ProxyServer.GUI.exe:
updated 4/04: i fixed the auto-start, it shouldn’t be buggy at all…also you can now use it with EU or any continent, just overwrite ps3-updatelist.txtwhat does it do?:
-hides/shows the GUI completely
-automatic start-up with windows and hides itself
-automatically configures local IP
-after hiding the GUI, you can exit out of PS3ProxyController.exe..just run PS3ProxyController.exe again and click ‘show’ to show again…green light = running, red light = stopped.quick guide for auto-start:
1) run PS3ProxyController.exe
2) check Auto-start
3) close & re-run PS3ProxyController.exe
that’s it!source code included, made with visual basic 6.
i just threw it together for personal use, so it will be buggythis will only work with 32bit windows systems (tested on xp)
You can download the source+file below:

If he wants to share is code, I can recompile it under visual studio.
04-04-2010
06:31 PM
right now it works 100%, but i'm gonna need to clean the code up a little bit so it loads faster
most of it was made with my favorite API spy: http://patorjk.com/downloads/patorjkapispy51.zip the rest was just common knowledge for using timers and functions. i put the basic in visual basic :P

This doesnt work on Windows 7 running 32 Bit Version, can someone recompile it to run? And a tutorial on how to use it on the ps3 would be nice.

Hi there,
I've read the tut a couple of times.
tried a few different programs like logan5 and ps3.proxyserver (alone).
But anytime I try to connect it gives me "the" 80028EA6 code.
Can anyone help me.
I've got a 60G with fw 3.20
Thanks

<--continent menu displayed
i've finished it. here's the final version:
DOWNLOAD:
http://www.haxnetwork.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=356
or
http://sharebee.com/d05fa4ca
code is now optimized, shouldn't even see anything pop-up when you restart, i tried to mimic it as a background process as best as i can
i also added continent support for setting ps3-updatelist.txt. it actually downloads it from ps3.update.playstation.net and changes the values, so when sony changes ps3-updatelist.txt and it no longer works you'll have a 1-click solution to fix it.
i'm gonna stop working on the project (source is always included) and work on my own ps3 proxy server app..no point in making a ghetto app control another ghetto app, all i want is to install it as a real background service. gimme a couple weeks and i'll have a real program to post
"run it as a background service", auto config, auto-start...as listed above...
i figured the tool was pretty self explanitory, but all you need to do on your ps3 is change your network settings to use a proxy, and point the proxy to the ip listed below in the program (for example: 192.168.0.4 is what it shows in the screenshot). also set the router's ip (usually 192.168.0.1) as the primary dns when you change your network settings, lets you download from the store. this is all info taken from the original proxy server thread.

Is there any chance of it working on windows 7 64bit?
04-05-2010
03:02 AM
nope it won't work for 64bit systems, same with win7, although i can make it 64bit fairly easily..i'd just need a tester

I've come across your controller on here and decided to give it a try.
I didn't quite like how it handled so I've taken the code that you supplied and redid some things to it.
http://trading-post.sytes.net/forum/files/shot6_167.gif
SEE CODE: http://trading-post.sytes.net/forum/....php?p=686#686
I've added a options form with other options for your program.
Redid some opening issues and fixed the First open issue. You should NOT have to RE-OPEN either PS3.ProxyServer.GUI / PS3.ProxyServer.Controller.
Added in SystemTray icon

looks good sub. and that's why i make my projects open source :P
edit: sorry guys but from the looks of it i won't be able to convert the code to 64bit as easy as i thought. 64bit users might have to wait a bit until i release my standalone ps3 proxy server.

cant get it work win 7 32bit

goto network settings on your ps3
Select custom, and enter the following IP as your Primary DNS:
67.202.81.137
this will keep you on earlier firmware and you can access all online functions.no need to run proxy from pc or any other program.easy as that...

Too bad I can't use it, but thanks for the effort dosz.
Just a request, since you're thinking of writing your own proxying tool. One thing I liked about PS3ProxyGUI more than Logan's tool is the fact that you can get the download link for a demos and such and then download it to your PC. Then once it's downloaded (I can turn my PS3 off for this), I can just proxy the link to search for the file on my HDD.
I hope you'll consider keeping this feature around. My download speeds run at max when using my PC, but it's never fast when using the PS3 directly.

it was all in the headers, everything had to be exact otherwise 1 bad request would sign off PSN...still having problems with it, i'll post the final version when i'm done
also sumo when i make a gui for this core i'll have that feature available. although it should work just as good if you set the primary DNS to your router's ip

no mine 32 bit tryed runin as admin and changin the compatablity if it cums up sayin reinstall click it to do it again i hav prob with sum programs i also take the user account control down to the never ask

Anyone else having issues with LAG on the PS3 ProxyServer GUI? After a few hours in "Game Title Here" - Online. The PS3 ProxyServer GUI will start to lag and then lock up witch inturn kicks you off the PS Net.
The PS3 ProxyServer GUI before didn't use to have all sort of spam links going into the filter log. But I've noticed in the last few days, it's just filling up Faaaasssssttttt!!!...
I don't think the program deletes lines in the log textbox. After so many lines have been added, I believe the log textbox gets jammed up. Thus erroring out the program.
I could be wrong, but, It happen to me just a bit ago. I was on PS Gaming online for about 4 to 5 hrs and the program crawled to a halt. Kicked me off. Program errored out.
I was wondering maybe if maybe there was a way to clear the log textbox threw PS3 Proxy Controller?
I'm gonna see if I can do this myself but if you know of a way. please post it.

i never had that happen
you can clear it using this before it saves a new one:
configxml.text = ""
call SaveText(configxml, app.path & "\config.xml")
it really shouldn't append to that file, check your modded code
config.xml includes the file list:
edit2: ehhh i just looked at it with a res editor, he made it in delphi so it's not too easy to fix...better off doing it by hex

I had to write my own HTTP server in networking class, I hate headers :-/
On a serious note:
I look forward to your more complete proxy solution. So far, with all proxy apps, I get booted when I try to enter a game or download something from PSN.

Put the OCX file in \Windows\SysWOW64\
Run CMD as Administrator, type in "regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msflxgrd.ocx"
edit2: Well, the app is running, but on the PS3 I get "Internet Connection: Failled"
edit3: I still had a couple of things queued up in my download list from before the 1st of April, all the traffic was routed through my PC, so I know it's working, I just can't log into PSN. I get various error codes, I've seen 80027ea6, 8071053D, 80710102 and 80710723. All are with the same settings, the code seems to be one of those randomly (most seem to be DNS-related)
edit4: I've tried manually setting a DNS, I've tried OpenDNS and Google's DNS servers with no luck. I'm at school so I'll have to dig up the school's DNS servers' IPs and try those.
edit5: Holy crap, too many edits... tried the school's DNS server IPs, get error 80028EA6 which is apparently related to the proxy server. I wish I had 32-bit XP or 7 around to test.
edit6: Yes, another edit. I managed to run XP 32-bit in a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro. I get the same errors as before. Damn, I was hoping it was just a 64-bit issue.

does PS3.ProxyServer.GUI itself work for you?
if it does you can try my original copy:
http://www.haxnetwork.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=356
but i'm assuming you have
does any ps3 proxy server program work for you? just trying to troubleshoot
04-09-2010
10:15 AM
PS3.ProxyServer.GUI seems to be working fine by itself, I redirected the ps3-updatelist.txt to the one you had in your source folder and EVERYTHING works, except Life w/PlayStation, it won't get a new work unit. That's not really a problem though.
I still look forward to your final app, that way I don't have to deal with a frickin' virtual machine.

Hi,I have a very simple way to connect PS3 to PSN without using a computer.In network settings in PS3 write this 67.202.81.137 in Primary DNS and of course setup yours IP adress and disable the PS3 proxy server in PS3.
Sorry for my english

edit: I'M MOVING MY NEW PROJECT TO THIS THREAD: http://www.haxnetwork.net/showthread...ewpost&t=11920 <---go there for future updates

well,
after many trial & error, and after extensively testing this on 32bit XP...i'm finally ready to release 1.0
DOWNLOAD
[exe size: 56kb]
no more ini, if you want to change the port just create a shortcut to ps3proxy and add this in the target line: -port 1234
note: if you haven't read my previous posts about this project, this is a standalone proxy server...it depends on nothing, you can move ps3proxy.exe itself anywhere you want without configuring a damn thing (i automated the bypass for ps3updatelist.txt for every region, so literally there's nothing to configure but an optional port)
..pretty sure this won't work on 64bit machines, but leave some feedback if it does
..should work with win7, though i could be wrong
also i apologize for the previous broken versions, coding quickly never works...
although it could've been made in 2minutes, figuring out the proper settings took me hours on hours...i now know the connections/servers involved with PSN like the back of my hand
in the future i plan on making it a true service installation, and any other feature requests just hit me up
