  • Simple PS3 Proxy Released - PSN Workaround

    Hideki, has informed us of a neat little proxy program he coded, which will allow your 3.55 consoles back onto the PSN. The app is called Simple PS3 Proxy, and it lives up to its name, by being very simple to use. The app spoofs the current version number, allowing 3.55 and older firmwares back on PSN.

    Download: ps3proxy.rar (67.28 KB)


    Readme:

    Set on your PS3 a web proxy of (PC IP) port 8080

    IE: if the machine you are to be running this proxy on is 192.168.0.12 then put that as the IP and 8080 as the port in the PS3 network configuration for your web proxy.

    If 3.56 is still current, just run the app and click start.

    If 3.60 or later is now out, change the 3.5600 value in required PS3 version to 3.6000 or similar.

    As long as the PS3 is correctly configured and this app is running, you will be signed in.

    Possible errors

    On PC:

    If you get an error about mswinsck.ocx being missing, either run the proxy app as administrator or copy the included .ocx file (in \ocx) to \windows\system32. (or if you prefer, download and install the microsoft VB6 runtimes which include this required file but also a large number of other not required files...)
    MS VB6 Runtime KB article link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887

    On PS3:

    Error 8071053D - You are not running the proxy or the IP/Port are wrong.

    Update request - You have not setup the proxy on PS3 side or Sony have worked around this workaround

      Pretty sure there will be bells and whistles at the PSN servers when your PS3 doesnt respond to remote code execution.

      Great work though!

      Lets you get back on PSN by spoofing version info without the need for DNS tricks.

      dns isnt really a trick and definantly not TRICKS. you only do it one time takes about a minute. Its prob easier than setting up you screen resolution and im not even joking

      Yes, but how? I can only assume it FTP's the info across?

      You have to run the App on your PC, and enter in your PC's internal IP (192.x.x.x) 192.168.0.12 was just an example.

      so does that mean changing the DNS settings is the wrong thing to do?

      You set your PS3 to connect to the proxy server in your PS3's network settings? You need to put in your PC's internal ip address (192.x.x.x) and then 8080 for the port.

      I'm just staying legit on one console which will be on the latest firmware and offline hacked my other console, untill all the bugs are worked out with this online thing. I bet my bottom dollar Sony are just biding their time recording as many PS3 ID's as possible that have been identified as hacked, then take out a few million consoles (ban them) or so....... But after they do ban at least once then we'll have an idea as to what they can/can't detect then we will be able to finally get a true stealth CFW (with PROPERLY steathed backup managers that have been custom made for the stealth CFW). As we will know what we'll be doing rather than just guessing like we are now.

      You need to copy the MSCOMCT2.OCX file to c:\windows\sysWOW64 not c:\windows\system32.
