Nooo, please... i just want play. Stop using these stupid proxychecks. Can't connect to irc, can't play Worms. It's stupid. Who created these stupid lists?

I connect to the internet wirelessy by NAT. It's simply like big wlan network, but it's normal ISP offer. It's NOT PROXY. It's popular in Poland access to the internet. I don't have any alternative... What i can do? I just wanna play...

What stupid lists and stupid "proxychecks" are you talking about? Nothing changed about the way Worms Armageddon connects to the internet.

Lex, I don't think you should call him stupid. He got a problem and he is just telling us. He is not criticizing W:A, although it sounds so.

It looks like this problem is in the FAQ. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, but on Windows i can avoid this using ProSnooper.

I sent some removal requests, but they never removed my IP.
For what this is needed in worms? It's first game a played, who is blocking players using proxy checks. Why? And for what are proxy settings in WA? Proxy is allowed or no? Nonsense.

We've had multiple accounts of repeated abuse from someone continuously switching proxies to avoid bans. Most games don't need it because they use some method to link online activity to an actual purchase (CD key, Steam account, etc.), which is not possible with W:A.

Your removal requests have probably been ignored because there has been continuous malicious activity from your external IP address. You will need to take the matter to your network administrator.

The proxy settings in W:A don't do much at the moment, but even if they worked - their purpose is to allow using a proxy to connect to the Internet in the case that your network configuration requires it (this was more common 10 years ago, when NAT and transparent proxies weren't ubiquitous). I don't think they were ever designed to be used with misconfigured public proxies - an use case which most likely would be used for aliasing and avoiding bans.

You can try contacting Team17 (see "Contact us" at the bottom of the page) and asking them to add an exception for your external IP address, but be aware that it might be banned in case of abuse coming from that IP address.
