set proxy server for Elastic License validation from China

[hujian2009]

Hi

We want to use SmartFox on china，and buy Elastic License，but because of GFW，we can not reach google app engine. we have a http/socket5 proxy server which can reach GAE，is possible to use this proxy server to validate license? and how to set?

As already replied by email...

Using a proxy server might work, supposed you configure the JVM running SFS2X appropriately and your proxy is not blocked by GFW.
Please take a look at this URL, in particular paragraph 2.2: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/t ... oxies.html
To set the JVM configuration in SFS2X, please use the AdminTool’s Server Configuration module, JVM Settings tab: http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/Gettin ... vmSettings

If this doesn’t work, you have two more options:

1) install SFS2X on a server in the US or other country outside the GWF

2) instead of an Elastic license, buy a perpetual license. Perpetual licenses can be bound to the IP address of the server on which SFS2X is installed and they don’t need to communicate with the License Server
