I have spent a while scrolling through civitai and I am trying to find which combinations of loras and models work together.

It seems to be very confusing, The only way I have found is to look for an image or video that looks like what I want and then check out what they used to create it. this is slow and I never seem to find anything for the models I have on disk. downloading new models everytime is slooow in this backwater I live in.

However I'd love to find a list of checkpoints and matching lora's I never seem to have the right combination!

I access civitai very rarely maybe once or twice a week or even less. However lately I have been unable to access it.

I looked at multiple proxy services to help with this problem. While they work, of course they want you to pay for their services, which is all fine, Except when you use it rarely like I do. You end up paying a monthly fee to get more than their bandwidth limits on the free accounts and this starts to add up.

So I wrote some software that can help if you already have an AWS cloud account, or don't mind setting one up.

Its pretty much plug and play (once setup) you just start the service before your session and tear it down afterwards. you are only paying cents (to AWS) for each session and if you don't use it then there is no charge.

It uses fargate to run a proxy server and then a local proxy service which handles the dynamic IP addresses. you need to be running a browser plugin like foxy proxy.

Its an open source project on github, search for aws-socks5-proxy

Of course if its illegal to use a proxy service in this way where you are, then maybe you shouldn't do it.

I hope this post doesn't break any rules. Please let me know if it does and I'll remove the post.
