Gaming Proxy

A gaming proxy lets you connect to an online game through a separate Turkish IP address instead of the IP of your own home connection. Players of MMORPGs such as Knight Online, Metin2 and Silkroad Online use a Turkey proxy to run several accounts from one computer, or from several computers, with each account connecting through its own static Turkish IP. Below: which proxy type works, how popular Turkish MMORPGs differ, and what to check before ordering.

Why Gamers Use a Turkish Proxy

• A separate IP for every account: Many games limit how many clients or accounts can be opened from the same IP address. Giving each account its own IP keeps every client on a distinct address.
• A connection that exits in Turkey: When the game servers are located in Turkey, connecting through a Turkish IP address usually means a shorter, more direct route than a connection that exits abroad.
• Separating game traffic: Your game traffic is kept apart from the public IP of your own internet connection.
• Helper tools: In helper software the game allows, each client can use its own gaming proxy.

Which Proxy Type Works as a Gaming Proxy?

Games need a static IPv4 proxy. MMORPGs keep a connection open for the whole session, so if the IP address changes mid-game, the character is disconnected. That is why proxies that change their IP, such as Rotating and Mobile Proxy, are not recommended for MMORPGs. Most game servers only accept IPv4, so an IPv6 proxy cannot be used for gaming either.

The ISP IPv4 Proxy comes with a choice of three Turkish operators: Netfactor Telekom, Turkcell Superonline and Vodafone Net. It supports HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5, with either username/password or IP whitelist authentication, and packages start from a single IP.

Proxy Setup for Popular Turkish MMORPGs

Knight Online

To play each character on a different IP address, a separate ISP IPv4 proxy is assigned to every game client. The Knight Online client has no built-in proxy setting, so the proxy is attached to KnightOnLine.exe with a routing tool such as Proxifier. SOCKS5 is usually the smoothest choice, and one IP per character is recommended. Full details are on the Knight Online proxy page.

Metin2

Some Metin2 servers limit how many clients can run from the same IP address. To play several accounts at once, each client gets its own ISP IPv4 proxy, routed through Proxifier, so every window connects with a different Turkish IP. Plan as many IPs as the number of clients you want to run. See the Metin2 proxy page for client planning.

Silkroad Online

For Silkroad Online (TRSRO and other servers), an ISP IPv4 proxy is used to give each account its own IP. Bot tools such as phBot accept proxy details directly in their own settings. For TRSRO, choose Netfactor Telekom or Turkcell Superonline as the operator: in tests, Vodafone Net does not connect to TRSRO. More on the Silkroad proxy page.

What to Check When Choosing a Gaming Proxy

• Static IP: The IP must stay the same throughout the session, so pick an ISP or Datacenter IPv4 proxy.
• Operator: With an ISP proxy, choose the operator based on how well it reaches the servers of the game you play.
• Quantity: Plan one IP address for each account you want to run at the same time.
• Protocol: Proxifier and most bot tools support both SOCKS5 and HTTP/HTTPS; select the protocol you will use when ordering.
• Game rules: Complying with the game's terms of service, including rules on multiple accounts and helper software, is the user's responsibility.

Try It Free Before You Buy

You can test whether a gaming proxy works with your game before purchasing. For ISP and Datacenter IPv4 proxies, 1 IP is provided for 1 hour, once per product group. Open a support ticket and mention the game you play and the operator you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a mobile proxy for gaming?

Mobile proxy IPs change on request or at set intervals, which can disconnect you in always-online games like Knight Online, Metin2 and Silkroad. A static ISP IPv4 proxy is recommended for these games.

How many accounts can I run with one proxy?

That depends on how many clients the game allows from a single IP address. If you want each account to appear with its own IP, use one proxy per account.

Will a proxy increase my ping?

A proxy adds an extra hop between you and the game server. Choosing a Turkey-located proxy and an operator with a good route to the game server helps keep latency low, although actual values depend on your own connection and the operator you choose.

How do I set the proxy in the game?

Game clients usually have no proxy setting of their own, so a routing tool such as Proxifier is used. Your proxy details (IP, port, username and password) are available in your customer panel.
