Understanding OpenBullet and Its Integration with Proxiware Proxies
OpenBullet is a versatile open-source platform designed for conducting web tests and automating online processes. It's known for its user-friendly interface, support for multiple protocols, and compatibility across various platforms. The inclusion of an OpenBullet proxy manager and customizable configurations for different online platforms ensures personalized interactions and minimizes the risk of blockages.
We'll be focusing on OpenBullet2 in this guide. It's important to ensure you have Microsoft .NET version 6 or higher for optimal functioning.
