Local Proxy Messing Up Other Connections #83

When setting up Privaxy one of the requirements is to set the proxy on your machine to 127.0.0.1, but whenever I do this on Windows 10 it breaks EVERY other app besides my browser. So every other application that requires internet connection seem to stop working while my browser stays working. The issue is fixed when I disable the 127.0.0.1 proxy on my machine, but Privaxy stops working. Is there any way I could fix that?

I also tested it with Edge and that wasn't working either. So my main browser was the only thing working basically.

Edit: I just found out that on Windows 10 proxy settings, there's a check box that says "Don't use the proxy server for local (intranet) addresses", ticking this check box makes everything work again but breaks Privaxy.

Did you install/import the certificate? Client apps may not trust the certificate that Privaxy displays, by default.
