Hi there,

 

After I updated the latest Fiddler(Telerik Fiddler Web Debugger (v4.6.2.32002)) recently, thers is often a yellow bar with "The system proxy was changed..." shows on the top of the window, and stop capturing.

This happens really often, about per 15 seconds.

I used Process Monitor to find out which application has changed my system proxy, and find out the system proxy was disabled by Fiddler itself, as the picture attached.

Have anyone know the reason, and how can I fix it.

Thanks,

Donald

Hi,

Fiddler is a proxy so on startup it sets itself as the system proxy and on exit it restores the original proxy. The message you see results from some other software changing the proxy while Fiddler is running. That makes Fiddler stop working and that is why you see this message.
