No connection after reroute #33

Closed b1tchnow closed 12 years ago

Hi,

I installed Sidestep and configured it to use SSH on my webhosting server. The connection test in the preferences runs successfully. If I reroute the traffic manually, I can't get any connection afterwards. If I set it back to normal routing without SSH it works as usual.

What am I missing and how can I find a point to fix it?

Regards, b1tchnow

What are you using to test your Internet connection?

b1tchnow commented 12 years ago

A secured WLAN and Chrome or what do you need to know?

b1tchnow commented 12 years ago

I fixed the issue. I had to activate the Option "Auto Proxy Discovery" in the advanced network settings in the "Proxies" settings.

Can you confirm this as a valid solution, chetan51?

chetan51 commented 12 years ago

Really? Mine was never activated, but it still worked. Not sure why that fixed it for you. But it's great that you figured it out!

I can't help it, but it worked.

I also recognized, the only thing I could not do, was browsing the WWW with a browser. Other applications like Audium kept their connection after I rerouted the traffic. Only the browser could not connect to the server without setting the option mentioned above.

Maybe this helps others. :-)
