Proxy Settings

If you use a proxy server for your Wii internet connection WiiFlow has you covered thanks to Wiidev and wolfssl.

You have two options.

1. Use the Wii's system settings.
2. Enter your proxy settings in wiiflow_lite.ini manually using a text editor (notepad++).

Go to 'main settings' page 14 to choose if you want to use the Wii's system settings or not.
Note: If you don't use a proxy then keep this set to 'yes'.

If you choose #2 above open wiiflow_lite.ini with notepad++ and look for the following:

[PROXY]
proxy_address=
proxy_password=
proxy_port=0
proxy_use_system=yes
proxy_username=

Enter the necessary info here and save it. You should also change proxy_use_system= to 'no'.

Gamertags

Back in the day WiinnerTag was a free feature that was incorporated in some of the most used Backup Loaders for the Wii. It made it possible for the Wii users to have a Gamertag similar to the ones for Xbox 360 and PS3 users. While the Wii doesn't have the equivalent to achievements, using these backup loaders it was possible to share your information and last played games in a tag. There was even Dark Umbra tag (DUTag). But sadly they both closed down for various reasons.

But now thanks to the RiiConnect24 discord server you can use RiiTag. You will need to manually modify wiiflow_lite.ini with notepad++. Look for the following:

[GAMERCARD]
gamercards=wiinnertag
gamercards_enable=no
wiinnertag_key=
wiinnertag_url=https://tag.rc24.xyz/wii?game={ID6}&key={KEY}

Note: it says gamercards and not gamertags. I don't know why.
Riitag simply uses the wiinertag name because it wasn't changed internally in wiiflow code. But that's ok, as long as the key and url are correct.
