Skype partially ignoring proxy settings

Skype is partially ignoring my proxy settings, the video and audio itself is going through the proxy but for some reason it is ignoring my proxy and is making direct connections to db3msgr6012716.gateway.messenger.live.com and blu405-m.hotmail.com, I have researched this issue and apparently it was discovered in 2012 so why isn't this fixed yet?

I am running into the same issue with a few
sites...especially since the TCP timeout to realize that is has to
revert to a proxy is not conducive. I would think a client side or
registry setting would fix this, but cannot find where to change
that. Any ideas?

  • Safari ignores proxy settings for AJAX requests?

    I'm using Safari 4 on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
    When I configure Safari's proxy settings (which redirect to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies), all my page requests go through the proxy I configured, except for AJAX requests.
    I configured an intercepting proxy (burp suite) to verify this, and indeed, AJAX requests are not being sent to the proxy. I double checked the exact same page on Firefox 3.5 on the same Mac with the same proxy being configured, and in this case the AJAX requests do go via the proxy.
    For Safari, I configured the "Web Proxy (HTTP)" and "Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS). Is there anything else I need to do? Is this a bug in Safari?
    Thanks in advance for all help.

    I'm seeing the same problem. I use privoxy, a local security/privacy/ad-blocking proxy that lives on my computer. Firefox always sends its requests through the proxy, but Safari sometimes ignores the proxy settings. Vienna, my RSS reader, stops going through the proxy when Safari stops doing it. A restart fixes the problem for a while, but eventually the ads start showing up in Safari and Vienna.
    I didn't start seeing this problem until Safari 4. I'm currently using the most up-to-date version of Safari, 4.0.3, with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and all other updates as of 12 Sep 2009. Privoxy is version 3.0.10, not the very latest, but it's working.

  • Shockwave Player ignoring proxy settings?

    For security reasons, ALL outbound user traffic is proxied.
    In at least some situations, the Shockwave player appears to
    ignore browser proxy settings and make attempts to go
    directly to Internet sites on ports 80,443,1935. This is filling up
    our
    firewall logs making them less useful for real
    troubleshooting. The client should always use the HTTP proxy and
    NEVER
    attempt direct connections to Internet hosts. Can we control
    this behavior on the client in any meaningful way? I have read:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy02.html#
    and what we're seeing appears to be default behavior. Surely
    this can be controlled client side and we are not at the whim
    of the way the client is called by HTML served up from who
    knows?
    For an example of this, see --this is a Viagra ad...sorry,
    but this is the one I was able to track down;-):

  • Ignore PROXY settings for a given IP

    Hi,
    I use a socks proxy to reach email outside the corporate lan. One account on my Mail though is local Lan (Exchange Server). I put the IP of the Exchange Server to the ignore proxy configuration text box but I still cant connect to the local server.
    Please Help

    Hi,
    My problem sounds really similar. I connect to an exchange server at one university but when I am physically located in another university that I also work at I cannot access the server using the Mail program.
    I don't really understand the details but I was able to use a program called PROXIFIER to force mail to use a SOCKS proxy (or something like that).
    Result... Mail now works from behind the university firewall.
    Good luck!

  • Why sudo curl ignores proxy settings?

    Probably because sudo does not pass your environment variables along. Try:

  • Web service client ignores http proxy settings

    I have a web service client using Weblogic's web service client library. I'm trying to instruct it to use a http proxy. I've set all the following system properties:
    -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
    -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dweblogic.webservice.transport.http.proxy.host=127.0.0.1 -Dweblogic.webservice.transport.http.proxy.port=8080
    No traffic is passing through the proxy.
    When the proxy is down, the application works fine too. I suspect that the proxy settings are completely ignored for some reason.
    I'm using Weblogic 8.1 SP4 on a Windows XP box and JDK 1.4.2 (Sun's bundled JDK with Weblogic).

    Sorry about the delay,
    You just need to use the standard java http proxy properties, take a look at:

  • Proxy settings frequently being ignored

    I've got a frustrating issue with proxies that I hope someone can shed some light on.
    I've got a relatively normal networking set up (statically assigned IP address via local LAN), and any web access must be via a proxy. I've got my proxies set under networking options, and using Safari I can browse the web, and Software Update works. I have only one Location defined.
    I also have a number of other pieces of software installed that access the web and supposedly use the proxies set under networking options. e.g. Version Tracker, Mac Fixit, and a couple of other lesser known pieces.
    Now here's the annoying part; a lot of the time these pieces seem to ignore the proxy settings and try to go direct (I know this because I can see the packets bouncing off my gateway/firewall). Other times they will honour the proxy and work as expected (this seems to be the exception rather than the rule however :/ ).
    For the life of me I can't figure out what the magic ingredient is when it all works as expected. When it doesn't work properly, I can go to the command line and "scutil --proxy" will show the proxy settings as they should be. But they seem to be either unavailable to the offending applications or the Location is screwed up or something.
    Does anyone have any idea on why on earth this might be happening? I'd love to get to the bottom of this and have my proxies work consistently...

    Well that prompted me to check again the most notable program I have that has this issue - Version Tracker.
    So doing a "Check" results in a connect via HTTPS to the VT servers after the disks have been scanned, which works as expected and I can see the entry in my proxy logs.
    CONNECT client.versiontracker.com:443 - DIRECT/66.179.48.104
    Then clicking on one of the items that is available to update, which is supposed to load info about the package in the pane below the results, hits my firewall as it tries to go direct via HTTP. So VT is successfully using HTTPS, but not HTTP.
    However, as stated originally, my HTTP proxy is definitely set and Safari, et al work when I try and test them. Now I know it's likely that VT itself has some issues in it's code, but I suspect there is something more than just a bug in VT going on here. I've noticed other apps not work as well (these failures are all HTTP). And sometimes VT works and returns the info screen (unless on some rare occasions VT decides to use HTTPS for these screens as well - however, I can't reproduce this; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't).
    So programmatically speaking, is there more than one way for an app to get proxy details? Does the system cache this result anywhere? Is it possible for something to interfere with this process or possibly corrupt any cache, etc? It certainly seems odd that an app can get back (and use) the HTTPS proxy details correctly but not the HTTP proxy details. :/

  • Why does Web Start App ignore Proxy bypass/exception list in Proxy settings

    Hi All,
    I've been pulling my hair out on this one for a while now and finally decided to see if someone can help me out.
    In my office I have a intranet of numerous devices and pcs connected. There is also a proxy server on the network to allow connection through the the internet. I have my proxy settings setup to bypass the proxy for any addresses on my intranet. This is set in the normal way by adding ( http://192.168.1. to proxy settings exception list in IE. This proxy bypass list works fine for all other situation except the following:
    On my Intranet I have an embedded web server device I have been developing that has a java application deployed using web start. This application is a monitoring tool that allows the user to check the various settings and status of the embedded device. The problem is that when the app is launched for some reason web start tries to get the require jar file from the proxy instead of directly from the device, even when the IP address of the device it is trying to get it from is in the bypass list?? I don't think Web start is checking the exception/bypass list in the proxy settings to see if it should be using the proxy or not?? I can see this by using wireshark and inspecting the GET HTTP requests sent from my pc to the proxy server instead of directly to the ip address of the embedded device.
    If I change my proxy settings to use a direct connection/no proxy (untick the "use proxy server for your lan" box in IE settings) then everything works fine. However this is not a workable option for my customers as they don't want to have to continually change these settings when connecting to this device and then to the internet (which is the whole reason of having the exception / bypass list).
    I've tried many things including using the proxy settings in the Java console instead of getting them from the browser but the same thing occurs.
    Any help would much appreciated, as I not sure if it is something I am doing wrong, or a possible bug, or just the way it is meant to work??
    I'm using the following...
    Java version: 1.6 1.6.0_17
    Operating system: ( I've tried XP and Vista)

    I have the same problem, please anyone can help?

  • JRE and Proxy Settings

    Hello,
    I've created a proxy.pac that's been deployed to our ouposts. It works fine except for one web application which is using java.
    Now, I figured out that it's because I have to not only change the proxy-settings for IE and Firefox, but also for Java. Point is, it's user-based. So every user has to make these changes to make them become active.
    My question is: Is there a way (probably by manipulating the net.properties) to make this change systemwide and not only limited to a single user?

    The application is a browser based application. It's partially HTML/XML (right frame with content) and partially Javabased (left frame with navigation tree).
    Now when I change the browsers' settings to use a pac-file as a proxy configuration file, the HTML/XML-based part is using the proxy setting that is set in the browsers' properties and connects by using the proxy. But the Java-side of the application seems to ignore these settings and tries to get a direct connection to the application. This ends in two different sessions where you have to login again in order to see the navigation-tree displayed. Since these two sessions are different from each other, they won't work together.
    After correcting the proxy settings for the java runtime engine to also work with the configurationfile it works just fine.
    As I said, we already found a solution for the problem itself. All we need to have now is a way to make the proxy-settings for java systemwide for we don't want to correct these settings for each and every user.

  • Steps to apply Proxy settings for all Server in a specific OU using Group Policy ?

    People,
    I have several terminal server (2008 R2) running as RDSH in an OU called Terminal Servers.
    So how can I create the GPO setting to make sure that everyone who login to this terminal server will be getting the proxy settings automatically to proxy.domain.com on port 3128 ?
    I've created the GP object and then link it directly to the Terminal Servers OU using the following options:
    User Configuration (Enabled) > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance >
    Connection/Proxy Settings > Enable proxy settings 
    But somehow when I login as myself and DOMAIN\Administrator the proxy settings in the IE11 is still unchecked with the old Proxy value and sometimes blank in some servers.

    >
    > User Configuration (Enabled) > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet

    User policies apply to user objects - the servers will ignore them, and
    as long as there is no user in your terminal servers OU, no one will get
    this setting.
    Link your policy to the OUs where the users are, then use item level
    targeting to filter for a security group you create for this purpose,
    and add all your terminal servers to this group. Don't forget to reboot
    the servers after changing group memberships...

  • Wi-Fi Proxy settings work in Safari, but not recognised by other apps?

    Hi all,
    At home, my iPod Touch (gen two, Firmware 2.2.1) connects fine to our wireless router and all applications (e.g. Safari, Tap Tap Revenge 2 etc) can access the internet. We have no proxy setting at home..
    Then, at uni we use special "manual http" proxy settings and had to jump through a bunch of hoops downloading certificates etc. I can connect fine to this wireless network at uni. Safari works perfectly with these settings, as expected.
    However when I try and access the internet from another application (for example, Youtube or Mail) the request will time out. My assumption is that it is because these applications are not using the proxy settings that i set -- whereas Safari is, and is therefore working normally. The same issue occurs on every other application besides Safari when connecting to the web. Keep in mind this all works at home.
    I don't think it is an issue with things being blocked by the uni, as we can get Live Messenger working fine on our laptops there. In fact there is documentation provided by the uni to connect to the wireless from an iPod/iPhone.
    Does anyone know why the other applications (including ones coming default on the phone) are ignoring these proxy settings?
    Thought i might ask here, as I'm not back at uni until tuesday.
    Thanks in advance.

    Proxy Settings may be set by connection however - that does not imply that all of the services provided by Apple Utilise these connections.
    *iPod Touch - No Firmware Updates Applied*: Able to use services like Google Maps, YouTube, Weather
    (Confirmed on 3 iPod Touches)
    *iPod Touch - Latest Firmware Updates Applied:* Unable to use services like Google Maps, YouTube, Weather. (Confirmed that this connection fails on 2/3 that have been upgraded, one is still pre v2 firmware and connects fine)
    Both iPod Touches are configured identically - with a static IP address, differing by one digit.
    Same DNS, Same Gateway, Same Proxy IP Address, Same Username/Password.
    The issue is not caused by configurations, it is caused by a difference in how authenticate proxy configurations are handled between the firmware supplied with a pre v2 iPod Touch, and the updated v2 firmware.
    Perhaps v3 will resolve this issue, but at this time if you have any choice, do not upgrade further iPod Touches to v2 if you require internet access via an authenticated proxy in applications such as Maps, Weather, Mail etc.

  • Bypass Proxy not ignoring proxy

    Hi,
    I am connected to the internet through a http proxy but regularly have to connect to local IP's that do not go through the proxy.
    I put the IP's of the machines I want connect to in the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts&Domains" section in the Proxies tab in Advanced Network Preferences however my browser still insists on trying to use the proxy.
    Disabling the proxy allows me to connect to these machines but obviously this prevents me from browsing the web at the same time.
    Could somebody advise me on this? Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    I would expect the Proxy settings to affect things like your browser. Are you attempting to connect to other web servers local network?
    At work, I connect to local Macs using Bonjour and company systems using the company DNS names, so I put
    local
    companydomain.com
    192.168.1/8
    The 'local' is for MacComputerName.local addressing for other Macs on my local subnet, where MacComputerName is set in System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Name:
    The 192.168.1/8 specifies a subnet to be ignored. This might be what you want to try, substituting your subnet. The /8 is because my netmask is 255.255.255.0. If you have a different netmask, you need to adjust the /n accordingly.

  • Proxy settings (local addresses)

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a way of adding addresses to be ignored by the proxy? What I'm asking is something similar to the option you find in browsers labeled "Ignore proxy for local addresses <input_box_to_add_addresses>".
    The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm using a proxy server to access internet but for Mail of Exchange I need the proxy to be bypassed otherwise it won't work.
    Thanks in advance

    Have now solved it myself:
    1) Create system restore point
    2) Uninstall mobile broadband driver and centrino ultimate-N in device manager, but keep files
    3) Reboot
    4) Lenovo access connections automatically connects to mobile broadband. It's then just a matter of going in there and connecting to wifi also.
    Everything is working beautifully now, and switching between wifi and mobile automatically. I think it was just corrupted TCP/IP settings in one or both adaptors.

  • Safari ignoring proxy username and password

    I have an iPad2 and an iPad1. If I enter a username and password in the proxy settings for our company WiFi network, the iPad1 works flawlessly, the iPad2, however, ignores the username and password, and prompts for it onscreen. If I enter the username and password in Safari, it only remembers it for that session.
    I have tried in both iOS 4.3 and 4.3.1, no success.

    Unfortunately the problem is still present after upgrade ios to 4.3.4 or 4.3.5 . Some ipad2 (and iphone4) ignoring proxy username and password.
    Has anyone solved this problem about authentication proxy  ?
    Thanks.
