English speaking servers Hi, Just started playing dofus, i live in south of france right now so my only option of servers are french speaking(even though im english -.-) and when i try to create a character on a english speaking server it says "This server is restricted to a specific player community, or to subscribed members. You cannot log on if you do not meet the criteria", so they i dont want to subscribe just yet, and im not gona be moving anytime soon. If someone can please help me out(or a moderator enlighten me why i cannot make a char on a english speaking realm from france :S). Ty in advance.

Tried using a proxy?

Culd you explain how i could do this, (sorry, not the best with computers :S)

What is a proxy. Why proxies?:

Your browser normally sends requests for pages directly to websites.
Along with this request, it sends out your IP address (= a unique
identifier of your computer on the Internet, which can be tracked back
to your country, city ISP and finally to you.)
The only way to hide your true IP from the site you are visiting is to
have a "middleman", a computer that will take your requests
from you and forward them to the website on your behalf; then it will
receive the pages and pictures from the site and forward them to you.
This way, the website will only know the IP address of that computer,
called (=proxyserver). You can configure your browser in such way that it
will use a proxyserver when it goes to the Internet (example)
The following items are visible to a website you visit:


-IP-address
-your ISP
-hostname
-your system
-your country/city
-URL of the privious site you visited
-color-settings
-your webbrowser

There are anonymous and transparent (=non-anonymous) proxies. In both
cases the contact to the website is made through a proxy and will the IP
of the proxy be logged by the website. But a transparent proxy also sends
information regarding your true IP address to the website (In the so called
Client-IP field)
Socks proxies are the best, general-purpose proxies. They are non-caching
(There won't be a record of the Web pages you fetched while connecting
through one, except on your own machine) it also means they're slow.
(They're located on port 1080)
The proxy machine's admin can easily learn that you connected to it after
perusing his logs, so a proxy doesn't actually conceal you; it just adds
a layer between you and whatever you're contacting on the Net.
If your proxy is located in a country unlikely to cooperate with requests
for their logs from foreign officials, or a country where your mother tongue
is rarely spoken, it can be quite an effective layer of protection.


HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT PROXY

1)Checking your own IP-address:

-Go to: "Start" >"Run".
-Typ in the appeared field: winipcfg (for Windows NT or 2000: ipconfig)
-Select in the screen: "PPP-adapter"

You'll now see your IP-address and your adapteraddress (MAC-address). The MAC-address
probably is unique too.


2)Finding the right proxy

-Free proxy-lists at:
-www.samair.ru/proxy (1000 proxys with country + anonymity)
-www.atomintersoft.com/products/alive-proxy/proxy-list (1000 proxys with anonymity)
-www.proxymatrix.com/index.html (with country + anonymity)
-www.stayinvisible.com/index.pl (20 pages of proxys. with country + anonymity)

-You now have to check for yourself wether or nog a proxy works:
Go online and put the IP-address in a testscreen:
-www.atomintersoft.com/products/alive-proxy/online-procy-checker
-checkyourproxy.com
Now it is tested for speed and anonimity.


I DON'T WANT TO TEST THESE PROXIES 1 BY 1. I WANT TO HAVE A WHOLE LIST
TESTED WHILE I EAT MY SANDWICH:
1)Go to:www.checker.freeproxy.ru/checker
2)Here you can COPY and PASTE the contents of a whole page of proxies into the
online proxy checker screen.


-If your proxy is working and not too slow: (they're always slower than a normal connection)
When you've found a reasonable proxy you open your browser and use it for your connection

1)Using Internet Explorer:
-Click on your Explorer using the right-mousebutton, choose option: "Properties".
And then click: Connections.
-Doubleclick your internet-connection (in the screen) and make sure you get the following settings:
a)Use a proxyserver for this connection enable
b)Bypass proxy server for local addresses disable
c)Put the "address" and "portnumber" of your proxy in the fields
d)Click "Advanced" and make sure the proxy is put into the top 3 screens
e)Use the same proxy for all protocols disable
2)Using Opera:
-Open Opera and click "File" >"Preferences" >"Network" >"Proxy servers":
a)Enable the options HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. In the fields following these options
you type your proxy (Click ok and apply)
b)Click "File" >"Quick preferences". enable option "Enable proxy servers"


3)Testing your proxys by visiting 1 or more of the following testpages:

-wiebenik.beveiligingsadvies.nl (Also shows you the contents of your C: drive, if you have

cookies, javascript, VBS-script enabled and some more)

-security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp (Also tests your network, netbios, active

trojan horses)

-scan.sygatetech.com (Also tests your firewall, if your computer is

vulnerable to trojan horses, TCP/UDP)

-www.lfd.niedersachsen.de Choose option: "Service" and then "PC-Selbsttest"

(Also tests if you have java, javascript, VBS and activeX enabled)

-www.leader.ru/secure/who.html (Spills the fact that you went through

1 or more proxyservers, unless you used a HI (High Anonymity) proxy. And a lot more

-privacy.net/analyze (Traces your IP back to your host, if you have

java and cookies enabled and some more)

Alternate Options and Servers

Rushu is a server I have encounted that holds both French-Speaking and English-Speaking players. Before you go into expensive, techincal or stress-filled situations, try to find English-Speaking friends on Rushu or another server that holds English and French players. You might just cut out alot of difficulty by taking an easy and simple route.
