Does using proxy still work this way?

[Technikhighknee]

 

const Steam = require('steam-client');
const SteamUser = require('steam-user');

let client = new Steam.CMClient();
let user = new SteamUser(client);

client.setHttpProxy("http://someIP:somePort/");
user.logOn(credentials);

 

Is this still the way to go for using a proxy or do I have to do something else?
I feel like it is not working anymore, because now I am unable to log into my account.
(Windows Steam-Client error says something like: "There were too many failed login attempts on your network. Please try again later.")

I can login to 2 of my accounts without steamguard but the one with steamguard does not work.

 

PS: I am new to this forum stuff, I hope I did not forget to mention anything.

No, that doesn't work anymore as of steam-user v4. Please check the docs for the new way to use a proxy.

Thanks for the reply! 

I have checked the docs and found the option 'httpProxy' wich I assume gets passed into the SteamUser constructor.

For testing purposes I have built a module that returns a public http proxy from an api.

My code is as followed: 

 

const SteamUser = ('steam-user');
const proxy = ('./proxy'); // Basically just gives me a http proxy ip + port string

let client;
proxy.getProxy()
	.then(result => {
		client = new SteamUser({ httpProxy: `http://${result}` }); // Example -> http://123.123.123.123:8080
  		client.logOn(credentials);
  		client.on('loggedOn', () => {
			// Do some stuff
		});
	});

Whenever I run this it gives me an error: "Error: HTTP CONNECT 400 Bad Request"

Do you have any thoughts about why it would not work?

I don't know if I am allowed to post the API url I am using. 
Tell me if you want to see it.

Thank you so much for your time!

That looks correct. It's possible that your proxy doesn't like connecting to non-HTTP ports, so you could try enabling the webCompatibilityMode option as well.
