Describe your issue

When using socks proxy that is reachable, starting the app, everything loads and works, when you make said proxy unreachable (e.g. disable VPN connection), chatterino disconnects (as it should), but 7TV and BTTV emote updates still get received.

I'm not familiar with websockets (which seems to be the case for this usage), but shouldnt they still be proxied?

(When using socks proxy and starting the app with connection to proxy disabled, obviously nothing shows up, no "connected message" nothing loads, and emote live updates dont show up (but I could not confirm whether they are transmitted or not).)

This is a known limitation, and is documented on the wiki

Will this not be fixed?

pajlada commented 1 month ago

It's a pretty heavy lift atm, so it won't be fixed specifically to fix this, no. You can use HTTP proxy to work around it.
