This will provide detailed instructions on how to make a Nimble proxy and how to track the usage.

All data will be tracked on the Multi-Login worksheet. Multi-Login.xlsx

  • We will continue to use the “Profiles” tab to track all profiles

  • We will continue to use the “Replaced” tab to track profiles that are changed.

  • We will use the “Nimble Proxies” tab to track the Nimble specific proxies as they are used.

There are currently four types of Nimble proxies.

  1. Ticket Boat- This is for Ticket Boat (not shadows) general geo-targeted proxies in the US. It does not target a city, but will stay targeted to the random region it selects on first usage.

  2. Shadow - This is for Shadows (not normal Ticket Boat) general geo-targeted proxies in the US. It does not target a city, but will stay targeted to the random region it selects on first usage.

  3. No Targeting Ticket Boat - This is for Ticket Boat (not shadows) usage where no session is needed. This would also be called a “rotating IP”.

  4. No Targeting Shadows - This is for Shadows usage where no session is needed. This would also be called a “rotating IP”.

 Instructions to create Nimble Proxy

  1. Open the Multi-Login worksheet

  2. Switch to the “Replaced” tab

  3. In Cell A enter the profile name that you are replacing

  4. Switch to the “Profiles” tab

    1. Search or locate the profile that you are replacing

    2. Highlight Cells G,H,I of the appropriate row

    3. Right click and Cut

  5. Switch back to the “Replaced” tab

    1. Right click in Cell B of the appropriate row and paste the copied cells

    2. Enter the current date in Cell E, follow the existing format

    3. Enter your initials in Cell F

    4. Enter the reason for proxy change in Cell G

  6. Switch to the “Nimble Proxies” tab

    1. Determine which proxy you will be using, if unsure, ask in HD2 and we’ll guide you. (if international, stop, notify Glenn or Lisa)

      1. There are four use-case choices, Ticket Boat Standard, Shadows, No Targeting Ticket Boat, and No Targeting Shadows

        1. Ticket Boat Standard (Option 1 section, in light blue) - used for all profiles with “Ticket Boat” in the company column (Column C on the Profiles tab)

        2. Shadows (Option 2 section, in gold/light orange) - used for all profiles with “Shadows” in the company column (Column C on the Profiles tab)

        3. No Targeting Ticket Boat (Option 3 section, in light green) - used for all non-targeted profiles with “Ticket Boat” in the company column (Column C on the Profiles tab)

        4. No Targeting Shadows (Option 4 section, in pink) - used for all non-targeted profiles with “Shadows” in the company column (Column C on the Profiles tab)

    2. Right click the row number next to the white row below the chosen colored section and chose “Insert”->”1 Row Above”.

      1. This should create a new blank row colored to match the section.

    3. Highlight cells A,B,C from the light yellow row in the section you are working in and copy

      1. Example, if you are creating a new targeted Ticket Boat proxy, you would highlight cells A3,B3,C3

    4. Right click cell A in the previously created empty colored row and chose Paste Special->Values Only. Do this to maintain formatting.

      1. This should cause the proxy to be highlighted in Red, this is expected, you will fix in the next step.

        1. Both Option 3 and Option 4 (No Targeting) proxies will highlight red, this is expected and will remain red.

    5. Click into the newly pasted Cell C (proxy) to edit.

      1. delete the four XXXX in the proxy

      2. type the profile name in where the XXXX was.

        1. Example from Line 4: the XXXX was replaced with CB4

    6. Enter current date into Cell D

    7. Enter profile being used into Cell E (this will match what you typed into the proxy)

    8. Enter the replacement reason in Cell F

    9. Switch to the “Replaced” tab and copy Cells B,C,D of the replaced proxy (the old information)

    10. Switch back to the “Nimble Proxies” tab and right click in Cell G and Paste Special->Values Only. Do this to maintain formatting.

    11. Copy Cells A,B,C of the newly created Nimble proxy

    12. Switch to “Profiles” Tab and paste into the removed proxy (Cell G). This time do a normal paste so that the color fill is also copied.

    13. Now update ML and TicketSuite (and any other necessary) as normal with a proxy switch.
