Setting up a RDP + ISP Proxy to play a poker room in another country, it´s my setup good?

[zamblo]

Hi,

I was using a famous VPN provider before (ExpressVPN) to play a poker room in another country for years but they caught me recently and told me not to use it any more (it was very obvious that I was using this VPN the last years but poker rooms prefer to look to the other side given the fact that us poker players make money for them because the comissions we generate when playing).

Obviously they didn´t ban me because they want me to keep playing in their poker room and generating rake/money, but I don´t have to be as obvious as using a well know VPN service lol.

So in recap, I´m setting up a RDP to play a poker room located in another country of mine.

For this I rented a dedicated server in that country so I can connect to it and then play poker.

I´m being very carefully because as a professional poker player I have money in play and if I get caught I could loose it, so I did this so far:
- Rented a dedicated server in the target country, choosing OVH as provider.
- Rented a ISP / static residential proxy in the target country from oxylabs.
- I´m using windows server2022.
- I´m using proxifier to handle the proxy conexions.

So after this I tested my connexion in many IP leak testers online and everything is fine: clean IP, not proxy / vpn detected, the ISP looks residential (orange), fraud score 0, etc... everything fine.

So even in the worst case scenario (proxy failing and proxifier not working thus original server IP leaking) the leaking IP still would be from the target country (datacenter server) and not mine ( country of origin), so it still would be fine as I´m not sure poker rooms care to much anyways.

Now i´m asking you if I have to be worried about something else? do you thing my configuration is allright?

Also I want to know if using proxifier alone is okay, if I´m not wrong in the case of the proxy failing then proxifier would block all conexions anyway so I´m safe.

Thanks and I hope I explained myself, english is not my first language!

Your setup actually looks really solid. Using a dedicated server in the target country plus a static residential proxy is a smart combo — even if the proxy fails, your base IP still matches the region, which helps.

Just a few quick tips:

• Make sure Proxifier is set to block all traffic if the proxy fails — double-check the rules to avoid leaks.
• If you're using a browser, disable WebRTC to avoid IP leaks.
• Keep your system locale and timezone consistent with the proxy/server.
• Don’t change devices or locations too often — consistency is key.

Other than that, you're playing it safe and clean. Nice job — looks like you're good to go!

Hi,

Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it!

About having consistent timezone / hour and date with proxy/server, why is that important?

Is not enought to have the RDP/server and proxy with same timezone? (which is like that because both are located in France).
Why my local computer should match the RDP/server and proxy timezone? if I´m connected remotely.

Thanks!

Good question! If you're only interacting through the RDP, then your local machine’s timezone doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that everything inside the RDP (system timezone, browser, apps) matches the proxy location — and it sounds like you’ve already done that, so you’re good.

The only time your local timezone might be an issue is if you accidentally leak info (e.g. via clipboard, browser sync, or apps outside the RDP). But if you're keeping everything inside the RDP environment, you’re safe.

By the way I think I´m having some problem with Oxylabs ISP proxy, maybe you know something about that and can give me some advice, could you check this?:

I really appreciate it, youre helping me a lot !

Did you have to download the poker software onto your RDP?

Yes of course, I rented a dedicated server and I play poker on the server using RDP connexion so if the proxy fails the leaked IP is the one from the server, why you ask?

Gambling softwares like that can detect your surrounding wifi mac addresses and geolocate you based on those wifi, not on your IP. It's better to find poker sites that you can play on browser than having to download and install the software on your PC

My setup is: My PC in local country -> RDP with Tailscale VPN -> Dedicated server in target country with poker software installed -> Proxy in target country to connect to the poker software.

You mean that a poker room that is running on the RDP server is able to geolocate the proxy surroundings? or my local computer (in my origin country) surroundings?

Anyway if the poker room locate the proxy surroundings as you say, it will be on France anyway, that´s not a problem right?

The first I understand, but the former is not possible, right? I connect from my local computer to the RDP server using remote desktop with tailscale (VPN), how a software running on the RDP can go through the remote connexion and reach my local computer ?

Yeah if that RDP really is in France then that's not going to be a problem

Hi as an American poker player looking to add in some RoW sites to my grind would you be willing to explain to me how I can set all of this of up for myself?

Yes, it’s possible ,but only if your setup is bulletproof. These sites look beyond IP: full fingerprinting, WebRTC, timezone mismatch, canvas hash, and geo-permission prompts. The people running multiple accounts successfully are using anti-detect browsers (like AdsPower or Incogniton), clean mobile proxies (real SIMs from target country), and 1:1 fingerprint isolation per profile. Some even fake geolocation data through script injection or browser spoofing. It's complex, but definitely doable ,no need for physical machines if you get the proxy + environment hygiene right.

RDP plus residential proxy setup sounds pretty legit for keeping things on the down low, way slicker than a regular vpn. Just double-check your rdp's system settings like timezones and language, 'cause those can be sneaky tells that even the best proxies won't hide

 

[ltesocksio]

Honestly sounds pretty solid, you’ve covered the main stuff. Just remember there’s always some risk beyond IP (like fingerprinting), and nothing is 100% undetectable long term.

 

[Mango Proxy]

If the poker client is running inside the RDP then it only sees the RDP environment, not your local PC. Your home machine is basically just sending keyboard/mouse input. So geolocation will be based on the RDP server / proxy side, not your local network.

The only real risk is leaks from shared stuff (clipboard, folders, browser sync, etc.), but the software itself can’t scan your local WiFi through RDP.

 

[xavierfok]

residential static proxy and dedicated server is a neat setup for your case. even if something breaks, you are not exposing your real location.

I would check the WebRTC leaks. this is what most people miss. your browser can still leak your real IP.

for the browser fingerprint, clear your poker clients cache and cookies from the last session. u want a clean fingerprint that matches the new setup/

good luck

 

[proxygo]

Although your configuration is sound, ISP proxies may still be noticed if the IP has irregular usage patterns or past history. Furthermore, Proxifier is not a perfect fail-safe; adding a system-level kill switch or firewall rule is safer in case the proxy fails. Overall, it's a good thing; just make sure your proxy quality and consistency remain steady over time.
