Proxy Mirrors

Sometimes direct access to prod.profitforge.net may be blocked in your region (e.g. Kazakhstan or Russia).

In such cases, you can manually redirect the connection through a proxy server, so ProfitForge continues to work without issues.

❗️ These actions require Administrator rights. Run PowerShell as Administrator.

How to open PowerShell as Administrator​

  1. Press Start (or Win + S) and type PowerShell
  2. Right-click on Windows PowerShell
  3. Select “Run as administrator”

Without admin rights, Windows won’t let you modify the system hosts file.

ru Russia — Saint Petersburg Proxy​

If you're in Russia, use this version instead:

# Get the proxy domain IP address
$proxyIp = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("prod-proxy2.profitforge.net")[0].IPAddressToString

# Line to be added to the hosts file
$entry = "$proxyIp`tprod.profitforge.net"

# Path to the hosts file
$hostsPath = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

# Check if line already exists
$alreadyExists = Get-Content $hostsPath | Select-String -Pattern "prod\.profitforge\.net"

if (-not $alreadyExists) {
    "`n# Redirect prod.profitforge.net to prod-proxy2" | Out-File -Append -Encoding ascii $hostsPath
    $entry | Out-File -Append -Encoding ascii $hostsPath
    Write-Host "✅ Redirect added: $entry"
} else {
    Write-Host "⚠️ Entry already exists in the hosts file"
}

✅ This will make your computer use prod-proxy2.profitforge.net for all connections to the main domain.

🧹 How to remove the proxy​

If the blocking has been lifted, and you want to undo the changes, run this cleanup script:

# Path to the hosts file
$hostsPath = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

# Read all lines
$lines = Get-Content $hostsPath

# Filter out any lines related to prod.profitforge.net
$newLines = $lines | Where-Object { $_ -notmatch "prod\.profitforge\.net" }

# Overwrite the file
$newLines | Out-File -Encoding ascii -FilePath $hostsPath

Write-Host "🧹 All entries for prod.profitforge.net were removed from the hosts file"

✅ This will remove only the prod.profitforge.net proxy entries. Other entries in the hosts file remain unchanged.

💡 Tips​

  • If the site still doesn’t open after changes:
    • 🔒 Make sure PowerShell was launched as Administrator
    • 🛡 Disable your antivirus or VPN temporarily
  • You can check the current redirect by typing:
    • nslookup prod.profitforge.net
