Stuck with something? Errors you can't fix? Add some info here, Someone will help you out!!

[BhaskarPanja93]

There was a minor GitHub bug for which the the actual global_host_page and tcp_connection page didnt update on the github page, I rechecked. Things should work now.. Also I will be making more announcements and discussions and instruction in about 24 Hours, I need a long sleep :)

[Dec1lent]

@BhaskarPanja93 You deserve it 😃

And also a small note, the vm have a shared folder which isnt on our hosts, so it just thows an error at startup, doesnt affect anything but just so you know.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Yes I added the shared folder, it has no purpose now, But i have a plan later, in a future build, it will be needed there, so why not add it now... I hope the shared folder warning can be suppressed, not really sure.. Theres one more minor bug in the user-host file, the default Per VM RAM is wrong, you can change the value yourself (it should be 1228 MB instead of 1136). I will push the fix tomorrow, things should update automatically.

[Dec1lent]

Instead of you manually updating the Global_host_page, you could make a script to see if ngrok is running and if not. Run it and then use Ngrok open tunnels to get the PublicURL's and then if possible use Github's API to update the Readme.md file.

Edit: Are you updating the vm's, asking since the Google Drive is empty?

[BhaskarPanja93]

127.0.0.1:60000 is blocked for using, i did it on purpose, you are supposed to use device_ip:60000. I will maybe tomorrow, reset the output statements, it will just output the device_ip:60000 format.

Also regarding user_host_main.exe doesn't have access to VBoxManage.exe. The expected location for vboxmanage is C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox. If not make sure you install oracle virtualbox in its default location, else send me other possible locations, i will add them..

Also the thing regarding Linked Clone, it basically means 2 or more VM Heads connected to the same VM Disk, meaning the files inside and everything will be the same. Thats why they take the same space..

[Dec1lent]

I see. The reason why it didnt have acces to vboxmanage was because it wasnt in path for some reason. Also vm2 in Drive isnt working 100% only 1, 3 and 4 are. How much does you earn per vm? I find that earn around 20 cents per vm, which is lower than v2.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Once again, VBoxManage doesn't need to be in your path, I have used absolute paths for the binary which is C://Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage.exe. It will raise errors if VBoxManage isn't in this directory. If its not, kindly reply with the other path..
Sure I will check and fix the issue with Drive 2, if any..
AdFly takes a little more than 2 days to update earnings. I suggest you wait 2 days before checking the earnings.

[Dec1lent]

Thanks. I just stumbled upon a bug, where I cant delete a Referral ID. It gets deleted from the list on the local network, but the vm's still uses it.

Also after about a day vm_main.py shutsdown and the vm is just running in the background doing nothing.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Well referal ID removed yet it is working, i dont think thats possible, i still will recheck, if that is possible...
And regarding vm_main stopping after a day, i am imagining its a basic bug i left, but yeah i will silently update it, you, as users wont have to do anything.

[Dec1lent]

How slow do you start a new Adfly account? I start with 2 vm's per ID, but they still gets banned after a day. Which I find weird since before I had 10 vm's to one account and didnt.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Ok the reply to this is undefined, Since there is no parameter left (hopefully) for adfly to identify view sources(that the views generated are automated), AdFly must be banning accounts on the basis of earning per day. Older accounts have higher per day earning limit than new ones. Also this per day earning depends on how fast the bot runs.

Earlier (v2.x) bot was slow for everyone other than me since it used to work globally, max earning for you would be around 2USD per VM per account, this new one is a lot faster and theoretically can earn more than 5USD per day per VM.

So technically this bot needs to be used for pretty small time, and it would still be enough. There is no 'safe value' for how long you can run it, but try a max of 1hour 1vm per day and se if thats too much. If so try slower.

I think what i should also do is make an announcement of how I make the VMs, so one thing that i think everyone should do themselves is make a unique VM with unique Chrome installations, maybe IDK something happens.
I am thinking of this because maybe because we are cloning from the same Chrome and VM installation, we are getting caught, not really sure of this.... But i will add a new announcement soon on how to make the VM for yourself.

[Dec1lent]

4 of my accounts just got banned and all of them had below 20 views, but all of them had proxy trafic only. While the one that didnt get banned had had views that wasnt detected using a vpn/proxy, it showed the countries and also the value of a single viewer that isnt been detected, is higher than 15 views from proxies. I think that most proxies from windscribe have been flagged for low interaction with the ads and therefor the accounts are banned. I also tried windscribe on a twitch viewer and it was detected and views removed. While on even free proxies they doesnt get detected and stay. I truly think that the bot is undetectable at this point, but that the vpn that it is using have been flagged. I use these and havent been detected on my own bot, but my bot doesnt earn any push ads at all, so there is no reason for me to use it.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Thank you so much for the dedication. Well now if windscribe is the issue, i am removing it right now. But before that @Dec1lent kindly make some time and explain to me how proxies work and how to use them or apply them in a PC. If possible i will push a silent update in an hour that will use proxies instead of windscribe. Once again, thanks for the work.

[Dec1lent]

Proxies is basically the same as vpn's since vpn's uses their own proxies. The difference is that free proxies can be made by anyone and is in constant need of changing since a lot of people are using them (hence proxies gets switched out before getting detected like Windscribe's proxies does.) Also with proxies you can choose what kind of proxies you want. Http proxies is for the http protocol while socks proxies are proxies that can be used by almost any programs, you should probably use socks or else the python script might not connect to the global_host since I dont think that it uses http. You have probably heard of transparent and elite proxies. Transparent proxies are used as a middleman while still showing the real ip address and the fact that you are using a proxy. Elite proxies hides your ip while also hidding the fact that you are using a proxy. Therefor elite proxies are best to stay hidden, but also have the fewest as they are often used and changed. Which is why that with proxyscan.io's api i choose elite proxies only and it rotates automatically, so I only have to request for whats on both sites of the : ((1.1.1.1):(8080)), but I only use chromedriver, so it starts up with the proxy already applied (options.add_argument('--proxy-server=')). The thing you have to do with the way this is working is to go to Choose pc's proxy and add it there

Sorry for the Danish, but it is understandable. Make a script that requests proxyscan on startup and then add it probably using opencv since thats the only thing that pops into my mind and then let the bot cycle that 5 times and then restart the vm and then repeat the process. That way each proxy will be used 5 times (the daily limit on adfly for a view to count,) It will still make push ads earning, but it will increase the risks of getting to much trafic on the same proxy/ip. So short. VM starts -> Gets proxy -> adds proxy to computer and save -> continue the bot as normal -> after 5 times restart -> on vm start request new proxy -> remove old proxy, add the new and save.
Im not sure if you can understand it since im not the greatest at cutting things down (my fault), but I hope that it is decipherable. @BhaskarPanja93

Edit: Also Proxyscan resets about 500 elite proxies everyday. So in theory thats 2500 views on Adfly split between us, if no one else does this too. But then again 20 views a day is around 30 cents for me, thats 37,5$ a day if the bot only got money from views, we still have push ads which is what this bots earn most of its money from.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Well yes iexplore.exe is basically Internet explorer 11, i have removed it from every Vm, to add it back, search for optional features in the VM and install Internet Explorer 11 then restart. iexplore.exe is required for VMs that will work using proxies..

I could and will try to make hte sevrer side proxy list, but my 1st step is to find a site where all proxies work.. Currently i have less than 10% working rate, and its nothing, once i make sure alll proxies work, i will implement the server side proxy list, it will be a lot better.

As you said, client VM will check which proxies work, its the same issue again, what if none of the proxies work and the VM gets stuck in a loop forever (my current situation).. Let me know if you find a more than 50% working proxy list..

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent I made a python script (attached at the last) that uses proxyscan's internal API that i found in this site: https://www.proxyscan.io/proxychecker. What the script does is input millions of proxies from the lists you gave (every 10 minutes) into the site's API and the API tells back if the proxy is working or not, It is working a 100% till now.
My plan now is i will be adding this to the main server, and when asked for, it will sned back a bunch from the working proxy list to the client, now the job of the client will be to try connect, if it does, it has to do nothing, if connection fails, it has to tell back to server the proxy failed, now the server will remove this proxy from the working proxy list. Pretty easy.

The only problem left is I am not able to use chrome when i connect to a working sock4 or sock5 proxy. Only and only HTTP/S proxies are the ones when i am able to connect to internet via chrome or any browser. What does it mean?

Also for debugging purposes i will make a new route in the global server page which will output all working proxies.
http://[global-host-page-url]/proxy_list
eg. https://a334-103-27-2-29.in.ngrok.io/proxy_list

Can you gather me some list of only HTTP/S proxy lists? i will add them..

Rename and remove the .txt from this filename
python proxy scraper.py.txt

[Dec1lent]

I'm back again, I have made a small list of links here -> http(s).txt. I'm currently going deep into how Adfly tracks its users/viewers with Google Analytics and Third-party once. I have noticed that when running Document.cookie in Google console it shows the cookie which is fine and good, as that is what is being send so that the "ad bots" can bet on a viewer, but the time of the first view doesnt change from the second, so that means that the "ad bots" have to bet 2 times on the same person therefor lowering the cost of the bet and also lowering the quality of the view. http://springest.io/anatomy-of-google-analytics-cookies

I'm not sure if the Adfly uses it, but it is possible since its already there and it is free data to collect.

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent can you please elaborate what you mean by "can bet on a viewer".

Cookie is a basic key:value pair which stores some data (mostly unique identifying data) sent by the server. They remain in the client's (or the bot's) browser for each domain (website name).

Last time i got banned, adfly said it was because my viewers clicked on my links just once, and never again. Which basically happens because i used to simulate unique and random client data for every view. So 1 viewer gets 1 view, and his identity is deleted forever.

If changing proxies don't work, we will know proxy or the VPN isn't the issue. I will recreate the bot with differnt profiles, so each profile will represent a unique person, and they will be saved in the bot. every time, the bot will either create a new profile or use an old one (from a bunch of around 100 profiles)

[Dec1lent]

I meant that when advertisers want to put out an ad, they wont pay multiple times for the same person who have been showed to not click on their advertisement. Therfor they won't pay as much or not at all, when the unique identifier is the same. The system work by advertisers have perimeters for what kind of people they want to show their ads and how much they are willing to pay, the system will always choose the highest paying once, but when the highest paying advertiser stops paying for the unique id, the next highest paying ads will be showed, therefor the price will consistantly fall over time if the unique id isnt changed. But I see what you mean that if its only different unique id, then it would be detected. Also we need to find a way to make sure that the proxies have the right ssl to ensure secure connection, so https will work on all proxies ( http(s) ). But it looks likes that people have been experience the same problem and that it might be tied to urlib here. One thing that would be nice is to make the program check if it is really working. Like setting an if or else statement after proxy connect and if it fails it starts over again, therefor it would just try again even if the proxy says that it is working. I'm currently improving the vm to make it faster and less detectable. @BhaskarPanja93

[BhaskarPanja93]

Not really sure why i have 0 views yet some earning, i waited for an week. This is using the proxy version of the bot.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Beta_1 needs some more work. In your case, it applies the proxy correctly and says "proxy connected", but because it cant ping my server after connecting to the proxy, it keeps repeating.. I will somehow finish the beta version in next 24 hours. Cant give a 100% guarantee it will work, But i can guarantee if the proxy works, the bot will work..

Also regarding going slow, I am instructing @Luskafe and till now he has all green flags with a fresh new account. Not sure if he can make it till payment, but i am pretty confident it will.

[Dec1lent]

I see hope he doesn't get banned. I just found a small bug in stable_1, where when the bot is supposed to reset the profile settings inchrome://settings/resetProfileSettings it doesn't click the confirm button to reset it and it just continues over to reset the search, skipping the step of resetting the profile. It looks like it's caused by the ads in the bottom right as it is hiding the confirm button.

[BhaskarPanja93]

Is this the button you are talking about?

You sure its not pressing this button? I'll check and fix it if required tomorrow..

[BhaskarPanja93]

I think I fixed this now, What i changed is the bot will clear all previous ads before clicking reset... Hopefully this is not an issue now.

[Luskafe]

Sup guys Im Luskafe so far I've been earning really good and i get around 2-5 views and the push ads give me $0.10 - $0.29 cents per day. i don't think adfly will detect me or they can we never know so what i do is i run it for 1hour sometimes i let it run for 1h and 10mins nothing happens. so yeah im happy with the earnings. I'm leaving some screenshots of my earnings so you can have a look

These Earnings Are of July 2022

These Earnings are of august 2022
The bot works really great and im tuned for new updates :) 👍

[Kirazt]

Hi, Im new here. So I have a question. Can I use your code with proxy yet? And if it oke could you give me some guide to use this with proxy. Thanks

[Luskafe]

@Kirazt Haha sorry but there is no actual "safe number". See what works for you, or contact @Luskafe about how fast or slow he is going. I can just give you some hints that we derived till now: Your mail goal is to somehow get the first $5 (first monthly payment) safely, after that keep going up. I went up till $3 per adfly account per day. Also as far as i understand, the max amount you can earn per day (before your first payment) starts from a small amount and then slowly goes up. Means dont run the bot more than 10-20 minutes for the first few days, then go 30minutes... So on... As an estimate i would say try $2 on the first month, $3 more on the second month, it should equal $5, first payment, now go Higher. Maybe $0.5 per day per account or something. Have patience, the first payment will take time. But after that, go crazy.... This is your first time using my bot, so see how things work, make your numbers. And keep contacting me, if tou face any issue, i'll fix it very soon. Hope this helps.

i run the bot for 1hour sometimes i did let it run once for almost 2hours but i was safe.
but my fixed time for the bot is 1hour

[Kirazt]

oke @Luskafe
@BhaskarPanja93

This is a bug ? I already add referral ID but dont get a single view while the bot still running adfly and still couting view, that weird lol. Adfly keep go to a youtube_img random, maybe I was doing wrong something I guess

[BhaskarPanja93]

Nono. Thats exactly whats supposed to happen. Adfly takes 2-3 days to display the exact view count on their site. So wait for 2-3 days and you'll see your earning

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent well now this is a new problem with using proxies:

[Dec1lent]

I also started my second year in college, I have been working on a Linkvertise bot, and I'm earning 2-7$ per day, though Linvertise only allows one IP per view, I have to buy a lot more proxies for it to be working. I also just discovered that on Linkvertise your CPM goes up a lot when just clicking on ads, I have now made it so that it randomly chooses questions and clicks on ads and I earn around 2 cents per view, each view taking 2 minutes, though I have problems when Recaptcha doesn't work or when Linkvertise doesn't always allow for discovering articles. Right now, I'm trying to make the bot stop if it can't answer questions as that just takes time and earns 0 cents. I'm also currently trying to get it to download some of the programs in Linvertise, as that pays almost 10 cents per download, and then run it on a VM that resets the virtual hard disk after some time and then continues.

Have you heard anything from @Luskafe about the stats or didn't it work?

Sorry for being inactive has been busy with work and school.

@BhaskarPanja93

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent
Icreated and used a linkvertise link just once, and it was super annoying to both create the link and also to get to the destination link(i should say i couldn't reach the destination). Maybe i was doing things wrong, need a couple more tries with it. So i cant say much regarding linkvertise.

Also the adfly bot just works. By that i mean, @Luskafe didnt get banned, but he didnt get the payment either, because of some paypal restrictions which doesnt let him receive the amount in his country. If he had to get banned, he would have so far, i am taking it as a "Working". So far i dont have all the detailed stats, but earn 5usd equally for the first 2 months, then you'll be safe, that is all i can say, i am trying this strat on my new adfly account...

[Dec1lent]

I was about to create a new Adfly account and found out that you just get redirected to Linkvertise now. The Linkvertise bot I have is earning around 2$ a day on average, and could theoretically make 5$ a day. The same as the Adfly bot should make. The only problem I have is the low amount of proxies and slow proxies. Since when they are too slow a single view takes over 4 minutes which is where I timed my program to delete the clone and create a new one. (My program downloads a program that they have to install the program on the VM it's easy to bypass just create a new clone and continue since the HWID changes every time it's cloned.) I was trying to make a proxy checker that was faster, while still using your server. But every time it finds one working proxy it puts it up 10 times on the server, which is also what has been filling the server up with the same proxies (sorry did not see it.) It just requests a proxy and then looks for an element on a website that uses Cloudflare (I do that because most of the proxies are detected by Cloudflare,) If it finds it, it adds proxies to the working proxy list (where for some reason it adds 10 copies of it,) and if it failed it tells the server that the proxy has failed. It takes around 10 seconds if the proxy is working and if it does not find the element within 40 seconds it fails and the bot says to the server that it failed.
@BhaskarPanja93

[BhaskarPanja93]

Lets start with the proxy part, I fixed the issue that was causing same proxy to be added multiple times, or random texts as proxies. And i haven't tested the checking speed yet, but i can tell, if i try to make it faster, slow proxies will be tagged as not working. Also my process of finding working proxies is just visit my server site, using both http and https and check for its own ip, if it receives an IP and it is different from the actual IP of the machine, it is added as working, else failed.
Secondly regarding adfly, they are still allowing google logins not email logins. I dont understand how linkvertise works, at all. Its such a lengthy process and i understand nothing. If you do, jus explain things if possible.
@Dec1lent

[Dec1lent]

I know, but it just takes a long time till it gets a working proxy, that also isn't detected by Cloudflare. So having the proxies request for an element on a website with Cloudflare would make sure that non of the proxies will have to wait or be rejected/blocked by Cloudflare. This stops the working proxy list from being clogged up with working proxies, which won't make a view on Adfly/Linkvertise. I didn't know that they still allowed Gmail. But I have switched to Linkvertise, As I see higher profit per view there than Adfly. Linkvertise has a lot of ways to monetize and I use every kind except "Dynamic ads" (You have to log in complete the quest and download apps for mobile etc. To complete those.) "Download manager" is where you have to download Linkvertise's own installer which allows them to install programs like McAffe, Avast, etc. Before it allows you to the end page. I have automated that process and I'm getting 0,2-0,4$ per download when it gets a proxy that hasn't been used on Linkvertise that day. After each download it shutdown the VM and imports an older one from before the download and reuses that same VM. That way I can't get detected since each VM is different.

The proxies used on Sep 21st were premium proxies which haven't been used that day and therefore the payout was incredibly high.
I can recreate a VM and send it to you so you can see how it works as I have some login credentials on mine right now.
@BhaskarPanja93

[Luskafe]

@Dec1lent Can i get a fresh copy of the linkvertise bot? :) i also want to try it out..

[Dec1lent]

I will make a video tomorrow as I'm not at the computer running the Linkvertise VMs. I will make a video today showing how to use the Adfly bot right now. While I was looking in the Full Script API section in Linkvertise, saw that 'Download manager' is only available on single links, so the whole idea of using 'Download manager' with Full Script API will not work using my bot. You have to create a single link and use these settings for monetization.

Another note is that I can't seem to add working proxies, even though I'm using my IP.
ip = popen(f'curl -L -s "{global_host_page}/ip" --max-time 10').read() #with and with just the IP 1.2.3.4. proxy_test = popen(f'curl -L -s "{global_host_page}/proxy_request?quantity=1&worker=-1" --max-time 10').read() system_caller(f'curl -L -s "{global_host_page}/proxy_report?proxy={proxy_test}&status=working&ip={ip}" --max-time 10')

it gets a proxy and if it fails it gets added to the list, but if it is working nothing happens.

@BhaskarPanja93

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent ok incase you dont know, the proxies in the server are all HTTP proxies, they wont work for "cURL" requests,
popen(f'curl -L -s "{global_host_page}/ip" --max-time 10').read() will return your real IP and not use the proxy...

To get proxy ip, make a get request ip = requests.get(f"{global_host_page}/ip" and then use this ip to report...

Other than the IP checking, you can use popen or system_caller as you wish..
the server checks if the proxy sent a '/ip' request to the server from the proxy, and adds only if the reported IP is same as the proxy server, else the report will be ignored. In your case, the IP you are receiving is your real IP, which is different from the proxy's actual IP, so the server ignores that.

Do a thing, wait a while, i am changing the proxy checker code, i will leave a place for your part of the code, add it there, then you wont have to re write the whole thing again.. give me an hour or 2, i will push the change..

One more thing, some proxies allow only http and not https, as of now, the proxy checker checks if the site works in https, if it doesnt it checks http, and then decide if the proxy is working or now, is it ok to open the linkvertise links in a http mode? Or should it declare the proxy as failed if it doesnt work with https?

I will also add documentations for each function to make it easy for you to understand..

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent Check this

https://uoftcoders.github.io/studyGroup/lessons/git/collaboration/lesson/

[Dec1lent]

I think I have understood most of the server, but im now banned from Linkvertise. The only possible way that they can detect now is through proxies and interaction with the ads. I will be trying to create ipv6 proxies and see if Linkvertise accepts them, and if they do, then we could theoretically have thousands of ipv6 proxies per IP. So we can just use a free tier VPS and we would have enough proxies.

@BhaskarPanja93

[BhaskarPanja93]

@Dec1lent my server currently only accepts ipv4 proxies, let me know if you want me to add ipv6 ones too, also their source links.
Another thing, let me know how the bot works, or just how to get a view on linkvertise, because i cant. Working video or the code will work for me.

[Luskafe]

but will the vm work that you sent? also im struggling to use the bot i even read the readme text still not helped .i contacted you on instagram can you instruct me from there?
