Using WWW with a Proxy

Symptoms 
  • I want to use WWW with a Proxy in players (runtime), but it does not work. (Not WebPlayer)
Cause
If you use WWW with a Proxy in players (runtime, not WebPlayer) it may fail.
 
Resolution
WebPlayer takes the Proxy settings from the browser automatically. Other players (runtime) work differently and cannot use a Proxy. Therefore you can use this workaround with the WebClient and WebProxy classes and still use the Proxy:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Net;

public class MyWebProxy : MonoBehaviour
{
    void NewClient()
    {
       string yourProxyServer = "yourproxyserver.com";// you can use "yourproxyserver.com:port"
       WebClient client = new WebClient();

       WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy(yourProxyServer); 
       // check proxy.Credentials property and NetworkCredential class if you proxy uses user/password
       client.Proxy = proxy;
     }

}

With this code, you can use WebProxy.Credentials and the NetworkCredential class to set user/password info.

    My situation is similar to yours. Tell me, my provider (advanced.name/ru) is suitable for solving problems, or needs a specific service provider?

    Hi Mirokia, you could use any proxy provider, so it should work with your provider.

    Doesn't work when building for Windows Holographic.

    I get the error:

    The type or namespace name 'WebClient' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Net' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    Any other options?
