Strawpoll Voting Bot are bots that allow users to vote multiple times on polls that are created in Strawpoll. All bots are used to vote automatically and enable users to vote as many times as they want. There are many types of voting bots that users can get and most of them are free.

Strawpoll just doesn’t let you vote as many times as you want, they have many systems in place to prevent this from happening. Strawpoll will even block your IP address if they detect that you’re using a bot. To properly and effectively use a Strawpoll Voting Bot, you need to pair it with a Strawpoll proxy.

A Strawpoll proxy will act as an intermediary between your device and the internet so any website you visit, including Strawpoll, will only be able to see the IP address of the proxy server. By continuously rotating proxies and using residential proxies, you would have a different IP address each time you vote which makes those votes as if they came from other users and not just from a single location.

Let’s set up a proxy server for Strawpoll Voting Bot.

How To Use Proxies With Strawpoll Voting Bot

For Windows:

To set up proxies in Windows, simply search for “Proxy Settings” in your windows search bar and open the search result.

You are then given two options to choose from: Automatic proxy setup or Manual proxy setup. If you want windows to automatically detect your proxy settings, choose the first option. Choose the second option if you want to utilize a specific ip address and port number.

If you chose the first option, then:

  1. Turn on Automatically detect Settings
  2. Turn on Use setup script
  3. Enter the script address
  4. Click Save

  2. Input both server address and port number
  3. If you have any addresses you would like to visit without a proxy, enter them here
  4. Turn on Don’t use the proxy server for local addresses check box if you want to access a local server without a proxy
  5. Click Save

This should then redirect you to MacOS proxy settings. MacOS is more straightforward compared to windows. You only have one option which is to manually configure your proxy server.

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Select which proxy IP protocol you want to configure. This depends on which protocols your proxy service provider offers.
  2. Turn on Secure Web Proxy
  3. Input the Proxy Server Address and Port Number
  4. Click OK to save the configurations

Note: You may be prompted for your Mac user password to save your settings.
