Configuring Fiddler Everywhere on XFCE
Updated on Nov 11, 2025
Environment
| Product | Fiddler Everywhere |
| Product Version | 1.0.0 and above |
| 3rd-party tool | XFCE |
| Supported OS | Linux |
Description
Fiddler Everywhere uses the dconf for setting and getting the proxy configuration through the UI. Some alternative desktop environments, such as XFCE, store the data in different locations or lack a graphical interface for setting the system proxy. As a result, Fiddler Everywhere will not set or unset the system proxy, which can break the application and the Internet connectivity due to leaked proxy settings. How can I handle this issue?
Solution
- Use the
dconf-editorand remove theorg.gnome.system.proxy. If this action is not permitted, go to the next step. Otherwise, skip to the last step. - Go to Proxy > HTTP and remove the
org.gnome.system.proxy. - Go to Proxy > HTTPS and remove the
org.gnome.system.proxy. - Restart Fiddler Everywhere.
