edit: tried above (proxies from same website) no dice.
edit again: I gots it:
from here: http://www.bestproxy...st-proxies.html
if you are going to use your proxies for bots running on a different computer click "add new IP" enter the IP of the remote computer in the "Authorized IP" box, enter some description in the box next to it and click "save" so that proxies will not prompt you for username/password when receiving request from your remote computer
In my case, what I did is that I got my computer's IP, entered it in the Authorized IPs section and clicked save. Then I tried the proxy ip I put in abrosia and it worked.
