iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Tor with palemoon and your tor proxy is in all browsers possible. And imacros has in version 8.9.2 enough ways with javascript (e.g. control port 9151, cmd control/restart tor). But tor is really slowly in most cases. A good proxy list are better in my eyes.

In your mind. Example this proxy.list with update every 15 mins.

Sure but tor is really slowly in most cases (e.g. timeouts).

Sure.

Code for iMacros with Javascript (test command "ping google.com"):

Code: Select all

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");

var env = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/environment;1"]
                    .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIEnvironment);
var shell = new FileUtils.File(env.get("COMSPEC"));
var args = ["/c", "ping google.com"];

var process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"]
                        .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
process.init(shell);
process.runAsync(args, args.length);
Tested with Basilisk Browser 2019.06.08 (64-Bit), Win8.1 (64-Bit) and iMacros 8.9.7
