Description Lion Yang 2017-07-06 03:17:54 UTC

This may be very useful to detect if there is a misconfiguration on proxy, e.g. no bypass on local private network range, a local proxy was shutdown...

BTW: how to disable it (using proxy), without changing system global settings...

That's interesting.
Which proxy do you have set up? I wonder, because we don't use HTTP during the set up. Is it a VPN kind of thing?

> Which proxy do you have set up?

System Settings: group "Network", Settings. The first one is Proxy.

Title: "Configure the proxy servers used"
  o No Proxy
  o Detect proxy configuration automatically
  o Use proxy auto configuration URL:
  o Use system proxy configuration:
  x Use manually specified proxy configuration:
    HTTP Proxy:  [                   ] Port: [ 0    +-]
                 [ ] Use this proxy server for all protocols
    SSL Proxy:   [                   ] Port: [ 0    +-]
    FTP Proxy:   [                   ] Port: [ 0    +-]
    SOCKS Proxy: [ 127.0.0.1         ] Port: [ 1080 +-]
    Exceptions:  [                                    ]
                 [ ] Use proxy settings only for addresses in the Exceptions list

> Is it a VPN kind of thing?
No, there is no VPN.

I don't know how proxy setting in KDE System Settings applies...

What I saw is `strace` (an util to trace system calls) showed process `kdeconnectd` call sendmsg() function with address 127.0.0.1, port 1080.

I think there are some global settings in Qt library changed by System Settings...?
