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... From: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382015
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?
(In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #1) > 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.
