Sounds like Fiddler is acting as a proxy and Epic Games depends on it. Try disabling the system proxy in your network settings or in Fiddler (Tools → Options → Connections) before closing it.
Hi Guys,
I have recently downloaded Fiddler. The program itself is great but whenever I close it and I start epic games then there is always a mistake that is not Internet connection. But as soon as I reopen Fiddler, epic games has a connection. Maybe you know what I have to do so that I can start epic games again without fiddler? Thanks in advance

Hi,
When Fiddler starts, in order to capture traffic, it changes your system proxy settings. If Fiddler does not exit normally, it is possible that it does not revert back your initial proxy settings. If this is the case, you have to reconfigure your system proxy settings manually. Here you can read more about how Fiddler sets itself as a system proxy.
