Potential Proxy Server Issues

zyl · June 18, 2018

Hello,

this will be a bit of a messy post, since I dont really know either whats going on.

So the title comes from the Win10 network diagnosis which says that the configured proxy server is not responding.

What I did for troubleshooting already:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset

Ran a virus scan with NOD32

I disabled the Manual Proxy settings in Win10 which somehow seemed to be turned on.

EDIT 1: The proxy settings automatically switched back on after me turning them off. The adress in the Address box is "http=127.0.0.1:8080;https=127.0.0.1:8080". There is also an entry for the box below which says "<-loopback>"

Also, I always use NordVPN expect when Im playing games. So the actual problem is I have connection issues, I couldnt find out a real pattern yet, might be it affects all programs, but no program is able to establish any connections to the internet expect my browers on which I changed the settings to dont use proxies. I cant really find out whats wrong at this place. Tested it with and without VPN on Edge(without proxy settings) didnt work, Firefox works(with proxies turned off IN Firefox), Discord and other gaming/social media platforms dont work.

Thanks, Zyl.
