Code: Select all
proxy1.Atlanta.talk4free.com
proxy1.Austin.talk4free.com
proxy1.Baltimore.talk4free.com
proxy1.Boston.talk4free.com
proxy1.Chicago.talk4free.com
proxy1.Cleveland.talk4free.com
proxy1.Columbus.talk4free.com
proxy1.Dallas.talk4free.com
proxy1.Denver.talk4free.com
proxy1.Detroit.talk4free.com
proxy1.Houston.talk4free.com
proxy1.LasVegas.talk4free.com
proxy1.LosAngeles.talk4free.com
proxy1.Memphis.talk4free.com
proxy1.Minneapolis.talk4free.com
proxy1.Nashville.talk4free.com
proxy1.NewYork.talk4free.com
proxy1.Newark.talk4free.com
proxy1.Philadelphia.talk4free.com
proxy1.Phoenix.talk4free.com
proxy1.Pittsburgh.talk4free.com
proxy1.Portland.talk4free.com
proxy1.Sacramento.talk4free.com
proxy1.SaltLakeCity.talk4free.com
proxy1.SanDiego.talk4free.com
proxy1.SanFrancisco.talk4free.com
proxy1.Seattle.talk4free.com
proxy1.StLouis.talk4free.com
proxy1.Tampa.talk4free.com
proxy1.Washington.talk4free.com
So, do:
Code: Select all
nslookup proxy1.SanDiego.talk4free.com
Now, determine the proxy that you are using. (You can do this with Fiddler or any network sniffer like ethereal.) So, if you are pointed at proxy1.nashville.talk4free.com, you can add a line like this to your windows hosts file:
Code: Select all
67.111.81.6 proxy1.nashville.talk4free.com
Why do you want to do this anyway?

Also: proxy1.Miami.talk4free.comGregg wrote:Proxy servers that I know of:
When one proxy is down, it's often possible to use another and continue running. You may also experience lower latency with another proxy, especially on incoming calls. Problem is, inbound calls from PSTN are unreliable or don't work at all with some proxies. I don't know whether this behavior is a function of which POP site hosts your number.Gregg wrote:Why do you want to do this anyway?
Edit: There is currently no normal Miami proxy, only a "lab" proxy, presumably a test server. Thanks to MagicHack for pointing this out.
Previously unlisted proxy?
Hello.
MagicJack seems to be connecting in my case to prov1.talk4free.com (as listed in Fiddler2).
85ms latency!
However, I am in San Diego, and pinging the San Diego proxy is only 30ms.
How best to change this? I didn't have luck with the hosts file - it seemed to persist in trying to connect to prov1.talk4free.com

That is the provisioning server you are looking at, not the proxy server.asragov wrote:Hello.

Re: Previously unlisted proxy?
prov1.talk4free.com is not a MJ proxy server but a provisioning server. You don't want to mess with this one. Make an incoming call or outgoing call then check the network monitoring tool to see which proxy server your MJ softphone is using.asragov wrote:Hello.

I tried re-homing myself from the NY to the Baltimore proxy. Not only didn't it work, it locked out my MJ. I changed the hosts file, rebooted, and MJ gave me error 401 and error 3. Looking at the network traffic with Wireshark showed that the SIP authentication was failing at the Baltimore proxy.
OK, I removed the entry from the hosts file, rebooted, and tried to restart MJ against the NY proxy. Same problem - SIP authentication failures. I had to get tech support to (as he said) "refresh" the account.
Unless this was just a total screw-up on their end, it looks like MJ is tightening down on this sort of proxy movement.
