TRiBot has disappeared: plain answers for OSRS players
In plain English: TRiBot was a paid program that played Old School RuneScape for you, which Jagex's rules call botting and ban. In mid-2026 its website switched to a notice saying the store, downloads and services were offline, and now it doesn't load at all. A proxy (a middleman that changes the internet address the game sees) can't bring it back or make botting allowed.
What Jagex's rules say
Using bots or other software that plays for you breaks Old School RuneScape's rules. Jagex can ban an account for a while or for good, and it can roll back levels or remove bank items before doing so. Buying gold with real money is banned too.
A permitted add-on instead
If it was the extra features you liked, RuneLite is a third-party client Jagex approves. Plugins add things like loot tracking and quest help, while the actual playing stays with you. Get it from its official website or through the Jagex Launcher, never from a random link.
Do you need a proxy for OSRS at all?
For normal play, no. The game talks to Jagex's servers directly, and a proxy just adds a detour that can make it feel slower. People who do use one tend to set it in a web browser, to see a website as visitors in another country would.
Quick start in three steps
Nothing to install. This is the whole route, from paying to the first page you load through the proxy.
Buy a small Residential plan
Choose a small bundle, or just the GB (gigabytes of data) you need, and pay. Then, under My Plans → Proxy Configuration in your dashboard, set the country, the protocol, and sticky (one address that stays put) or rotating (a new one each time).
Paste it into the tool
Most tools have a proxy field or a list to paste into, often one proxy per line. Add a single proxy first and run one small task.
Check that it worked
Paste the details into our proxy checker: it shows whether the proxy answers and which IP address sites will see. The IP location lookup then tells you which country that address is in, and if anything looks wrong, the quick fixes further down cover the usual slips. About to log in somewhere? Switch to a sticky session first, so the address stays put.
Our pick for TRiBot: Residential
Residential is the type listed here because its addresses come from home broadband, the same kind of line an ordinary player uses. With TRiBot offline there's nothing to set up, and botting was against Jagex's rules all along. For normal Old School RuneScape play you don't need a proxy at all; one only helps with things like private browsing on public Wi-Fi.
A residential IP for each account
Bot sellers liked to pair every account with its own residential address. That never made botting allowed: Jagex judges accounts on how they play, and a separate address only changes where the connection appears to come from.
At home in TRiBot's proxy manager
TRiBot used to take proxies in its client settings, but with its website offline there's no current client to configure. If you still have our proxies, the same details work in a browser for ordinary browsing while your order lasts.
Region-matched, low-latency routing
The world switcher shows a flag for each world's location. A nearby world usually plays more smoothly. A proxy only adds a stop on the way, so for normal play you're better off without one.
Clean, uncrowded addresses
Our residential addresses are ethically sourced, and you reach them with your own private login. Free proxy lists are a different story: often slow and shared with strangers, which makes them a poor place to type an account password. None of this changes Jagex's rules on bots.
What a proxy won't do here
It won't make a tool acceptable to a site or game that bans automation, and it can't stop them acting on an account the tool runs.
What people use it for
- ▸A home-country address on hotel Wi-Fi
- ▸Reading OSRS guides from abroad
- ▸A private login instead of free proxy lists
- ▸Comparing your ping with and without a proxy
Which proxy type should I pick for TRiBot?
Residential is the sensible starting point here. Datacenter costs less when a site accepts server addresses; mobile and premium earn their higher price only in the cases described below.
| Type | Choose it when… | From, per GB |
|---|---|---|
| Datacenter | Cost matters most and the site is happy with addresses from server companies. Good for public pages and first experiments. | $2.49 |
| Residential Our pick for TRiBot | A site turns server addresses away, or you want to see it the way a local visitor does. The address belongs to a home broadband line. | $3.98 |
| Mobile 4G/5G | The service is built around phones, or you want to see it as someone on 4G or 5G would. The address comes from a phone network. | $4.98 |
| Residential Premium | Standard residential keeps being refused on one particular site. Hand-picked home addresses, at a higher price per GB. | $6.99 |
Choosing a country: Pick the country your task needs and keep each job in one country, so what the tool sees stays consistent from run to run. There are 55+ countries, and in major markets some types let you pick a city too. Browse locations
For the longer version, our proxy comparison walks through all four types.
What you need to add a proxy to your software
Wherever you set it up, you type in the same four details from your dashboard: the host (the proxy's address), the port (a number that tells the connection which door to use), a username and a password.
Inside an app, tool or script
Some apps and most automation tools have a proxy box of their own, which keeps the change to that one program. In code, the proxy is usually a single setting.
Two ways to log in to the proxy
- ▸Username and password. The
host:port:user:passdetails that browsers, apps and scripts ask for. - ▸IP whitelist. Add your own IP address to the list in your dashboard and connections from it need no password. Handy where there's nowhere to type one, such as Android's Wi-Fi proxy screen.
Which protocol?
A protocol is the language your device uses to talk to the proxy. Every proxy works over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5; if an app asks for SOCKS5 by name, give it SOCKS5 details, and put HTTP details in an HTTP box.
Common slip-ups, and the quick fix for each
When something feels off on a first try, it's often one of these.
Logging in on a rotating address
Rotating means a new address for every request; sticky means one address kept for 1-30 minutes. Use sticky for anything you sign in to, or the site may log you out halfway through.
A slip in the proxy details
One wrong character in the host, port, username or password and nothing connects. Copy them again from your dashboard and try them in our proxy checker. Using the IP whitelist? Home IP addresses change now and then, so check yours with the IP checker and update the list.
Starting with a big run
Try one task on one proxy first and watch what happens. A mistake in a large run wastes data, and any accounts the tool uses can be limited.
Pages load slowly
Home connections vary in speed. Pick a proxy country nearer to you and try again before changing anything else.
Proxy not working when it arrives? Tell us within 24 hours of delivery and we'll swap it, or refund that part of the order if we can't (see the refund policy). Support answers 24/7 through the contact page.
Is a proxy for TRiBot allowed?
Using a proxy is legal in most countries (a few restrict them), so the question is what you do through it: stick to public information and your own accounts, at a sensible pace, within the service's terms and the law where you live.
Many sites and games ban bots and automation tools outright, so read the rules of whatever the tool touches before you start. Where automation is forbidden, running it through a proxy is still forbidden.
If personal data is involved, data-protection law applies as well, and no proxy can protect an account from a platform's own decisions.
Keeping the cost down
You pay for data by the GB, never for time, so set the proxy in the one browser or app that needs it and switch it off when you're done.
Start with a small order
Buy a little Residential data first, at $3.98 per GB, and try it where you need it. Top up once it works.
Use it within 30 days
Each order runs for 30 days from payment, and GB you haven't used don't carry over, so buy for the weeks ahead rather than the year.
Match the type to the site
Leave easy sites on datacenter and send only the stubborn ones through residential, mobile or premium. Mixing types keeps the bill small.
