I have tried running the topcoder arena in linux many times and have failed. Our university uses proxy server with following settings:
proxy: 10.3.100.207 port: 8080
I have configured OpenJDK settings and system settings. I have configured the arena proxy settings in many way, used all the 4 tunnels, but wasn't able to get it work. Lots of people in my college are regular participants in various contests like spoj/codeforces/codechef/hackerrank, but sadly we aren't able to participate in topcoder matches. Any one has a solution to it?
I am from IIT Kgp and use tor browser for topcoder. It works fine.
Alright. I'll try it. :)
I have installed tor browser and started it. With what configurations should I start the arena?
In OpenJDK network settings, set socks proxy as in tor browser. You may need to set HTTP proxy too. After that, default connection should work in topcoder arena.
Use httptunnelB, for connection type and click proxy button,for proxy type select HTTP,enter Host,port,... details in the proxy tab.I guess it will work.
