Bypasses don't work!

Postby pooryorick » Fri Mar 25, 2005 3:10 am

I've managed to get level 5 proxy, firewall and monitor bypassers (took me a while :P ) and now they don't seem to work. Whenever I try to run a proxy bypass (and click on the little red circle) it doesn't depress and it doesn't bypass the proxy. Whenever I start a monitor or firewall bypass it appears as such in my running software list, but has a little p on it, and whenever I mouseover, it comes up with 'run this proxy bypass' or such. Strange, huh?

Any way to get 60 grand worth of software working or am I just screwed?

You are not using them properly. . .

You need to open the HUD and drag the bypasser over the proper icon on the HUD so that it "locks on" to the HUD. Then it will start working.

All the bypassers are copied from the proxy bypass and they just forgot to change a couple things, but they work fine. :)

I actually figured out how to use them after posting. :roll:

Still, it seems a bit strange how they're set up... Ah well.

Sorry to rip up this old topic but I've been banging my head in the table cos I can't get the bypassers to "lock on".. and the little "light" is black for some reason.. :S well I got a level 5 proxy bypasser and tried it.. didn't work so I got a level 2 monitor bypasser thought that might help but couldn't even get it to work :( what am I doing wrong? I have the HUD open.. I put the bypasser on the proper icon but nothing :(

EDIT: the bypassers were black cos I had 16-bit on in the Video options :P

EDIT2: I GOT IT :D nobody told me you had to actually press the icon in the HUD.. I thought you were just suppose to right click(drop) it over it heheh

I'm not sure if this is what you're doing or not, but it's what you should be.

1) Connect to the system.
2) Open the HUD connection analyser.
3) Click Programs>Bypassers>Monitor Bypass (or whatever).
4) The bypasser should now be following your mouse.
5) Move the mouse over the icon above the word "monitor" (or the one that matches the bypasser you're trying to use) on the connection analyser and click.
6) The bypasser should slide on top of the icon and the light should turn green.

Hope some of that helped. :)

Well theres the problem, if you right click when using any program it will just set it down where you put it, and look like a decoration.
You must left click on the monitor icon in the hud.

It's a bit rude to be thanking the wrong person, don't you think? :P
