🏠My home IP

This feature requires some technical knowledge. If you're not familiar with IPs, Docker, routers, or port forwarding, it’s better to skip this and use the Dedicated IP feature instead.

The My home IP feature lets you use your home internet connection for trading operations. With this feature, all connections will be tunneled through your home IP address, meaning your broker will only see your home IP for all trading activities.

You can set up the "My home IP" feature for the entire project, so all accounts will use your home IP, or you can enable it for individual accounts as needed.

Pricing

$14/month

Limitations

This feature disables Fallback and Redundancy. If your home IP becomes unreachable, all connected accounts will be disconnected.

Requirements

Before you start setting up this feature, please read the following carefully:

  1. Always-On PC Required: You need a PC that is always on and running. The hardware requirements are very low, so even an old computer or a Raspberry Pi will work.

  2. Technical Knowledge Needed: This feature requires some technical skills. If you’re not familiar with IPs, Docker, routers, or port forwarding, it’s better to skip this and use the Dedicated IP feature instead.

Important: Make sure you fully understand the points above before proceeding.

Installation

Install Docker on your PC, then run the following commands. Make sure to replace <password> with your own secure password.

docker run -d --name socks5 -p 1080:1080 -e PROXY_USER=metacopier -e PROXY_PASSWORD=<password> serjs/go-socks5-proxy
docker run -d --name http-proxy -p 1081:3128 -e SQUID_USERNAME=metacopier -e SQUID_PASSWORD=<password> sameersbn/squid

After starting the Docker containers, update your router's firewall to forward the required ports to the PC running the containers.

If your home IP changes often, you can use a dynamic DNS service like EntryDNS or one that works with your router.

Finally, open MetaCopier select a project and enter all the settings in the corresponding fields.

Once activated, this feature will automatically apply to all your accounts. This might take a few minutes, so please be patient.

If you want to assign the 'My home IP' only to an account, you can do this under the accounts page.
