Does Fiddler Anywhere use a proxy server like Fiddler Classic?

[abdu bukres]

I keep getting this warning and as soon I click, I get it back. I think one of the security apps is monitoring and locking down the proxy server setting in Windows. I am running Fiddler as an admin and manually setting the proxy server but my setting is instantly removed.
It seems I can't use network sniffers that depend on certain proxy server settings.

Does Fiddler Anywhere suffer from the same issue?

Hello Abdu,

 

The system capturing in both Fiddler Classic and Fiddler Everywhere operates by configuring the operating system's proxy settings to point to the Fiddler address and port. If a third party resets these settings, it poses an issue for every HTTPS proxy set as a manual proxy on your device - regardless of whether it is Fiddler, another product, or even a manually configured proxy address. Therefore, you should address the issue by directing the security tool to respect the Fiddler proxy and implement a policy that prevents it from reverting - this should not be considered a problem within Fiddler.

As a side note, Fiddler Everywhere supports several additional capturing modes that do not require modifying the operating system's proxy settings. With these alternative capturing modes, you can bypass the limitations imposed by your security tool - more information about the available capturing modes in Fiddler Everywhere can be found here:

The security tools are installed by my company. No one can change or is allowed to change their behavior. 
I will check the other capturing modes. Thanks.
