⚠️ You must have a static IP on a dedicated VPS that you can SSH into; free hosts like repl.it and glitch are not compatible.
Adapted from a DigitalOcean tutorial.
Step 0) Make sure you are signed out of the target account, and have SSH access to your VPS.
Step 1) Connect to your VPS over SSH:
ssh your_user@your_server_ip
Step 2) Whitelist a port in your firewall (any value between 1024 and 65535), we will use 1234
:
sudo ufw allow 1234
If you have never set up a firewall, I strongly recommend reading this article to harden your server; make sure to allow your SSH port too!
Step 3) Reconnect and start an SSH tunnel on the whitelisted port:
ssh -D 1234 your_user@your_server_ip
You will be prompted for a password, and then there will be no sign for success for failure, this is expected.
Step 4) From a new terminal instance, connect your web browser to the proxy in incognito, and log in:
These commands should be run outside of WSL, either use Git Bash or cmd.
Google Chrome:
start chrome --incognito --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1234" https://www.roblox.com/login
Microsoft Edge:
start msedge --inprivate --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1234" https://www.roblox.com/login
Mozilla Firefox (Less recommended; must be manually configured.)
Step 5) Retrieve your cookie as normal; this is nothing new.
Step 6) Copy the cookie to your VPS, write to a .env
file, etc, your pick.
Step 7) Close the incognito proxied window; do not press log out.
Step 8) [Clean-Up]: Remove the whitelisted port from your firewall rules:
sudo ufw delete allow 1234
Step 9) You may now close the SSH tunnel by closing your terminal; you are done- as far as Roblox can tell, you logged in from your VPS's IP.
⚠️ From now on, you MUST be connected through the SSH Tunnel to access the Roblox account. Failing to do so will violate the IP check and invalidate your cookie.
