Are proxies services reliable enough to use?

Question

Like every tibian, I do not like to expose myself to dangerous programs able to put in risk my privacy or data safety, so I am very pick about "resources and tools" to enhance my game experience with Tibia. Are proxies services really safe to use? Are they worth the price that they demand? Why not every game advertises proxy services like some companies do with the Tibia game? Is that safe to use a proxy with the Battle Eye anti-cheat tool enabled on almost every tibian world?

Answer 1

Well it depends, actually there are servers for almost every region , since european guys have United Kindgdom , south american guys have servers located in Brazil and North American have also servers locate in the EEUU. So I think now there is no reason for use proxies, maybe if you want to low your ping some ms but it wont be that much unless you play from Russia or Egypt , maybe those countries need a Proxy to play better.

And they are safe? I will say yes because there is no need for a proxy company to steal or to do ilegal things which can make their bussiness go down so quickly , so I think they are all reliable.

So for a brazilian playing on a European server, a good move would be to acquire a proxy service in order to reduce delay/lag? I also should add that brazilian internet is inferior to european standards.

Does Cipsoft reccomend any specific proxy service? One that would be safe enough and that would never appear to Battle Eye as something harmful?

Answer 2

Time ago I used proxies and I never had a problem, I think they are safe 100%

Answer 3

I cannot recommend a proxy for you to use nor does Cipsoft, but I will paste this from technical boards as this is Cipsoft's take on it- Is it legal to use a proxy?

Yes, using a proxy is legal. Proxy programs can help you improving your connection and reducing lag. Note, however, that they pose a high security risk and that you use them on your own risk. Also, please understand that you lose all right for support if you experience problems with the Tibia client due to using an external program or proxy.

Here's an Official CM Reply regarding using BattlEye with proxy-

Hello everyone,

> Is the chance that people will get marked for deletion over using a proxy really that big that you can't publicly state "People won't get deleted for using a proxy"?
+
> [...] it would be very helpful for you to talk about post-shielding days. What happens when it's switched on? Are you going to investigate potential deletions for proxy software usage?

Thanks for your responses. We understand your concerns and hence there are some things that we would like to make a statement on, to clarify some potential misunderstandings.

The usage of proxy/tunnel services is not considered illegal, but unsupported, and does not lead to account deletions or account punishments. This does not change after the activation of BattlEye.
In general, the integration of BattlEye does not change what is considered illegal and what not.
On the other hand, we cannot provide you with reliable information if specific software/tunnel services will be working or be blocked after the full activation of BattlEye.

I'm sure others have to use a proxy to play Tibia and can recommend some for you. I know Tibia is certainly safer to play once you activate Authenticators which you can see how to do here: Tibia FAQ: Authenticators
