nRF Connect 2 Desktop behind company proxy

Nathan Morsa

Hello,

I am trying to use the new nRF Connect 2 for Desktop. After installation, the app gets stuck and doesn't show any GUI. Investigating the network shows that the app tries to open an HTTP connection:

Unfortunately I am behind a company proxy that requires authentication, and the connection is refused.

Is there a way to configure the username/password to be used for this connection ?

    Hi Nathan. Thank you for the detailed report.

    nRF Connect v2.0.0 unfortunately has limited support for HTTP proxys. This is obviously a show-stopper for some users, so we are working on a fix. We will post an update here once a fix has been released.

    Update

    We have published a pre-release (2.1.0-alpha.0) on GitHub that adds support for authenticated proxies. When the proxy responds with HTTP 407, a dialog will pop up where username and password can be entered. See pull request #104 for detailed information.

    This version also auto-detects the proxy server to use for Yarn, which is used when installing apps. If you have added a https-proxy setting in %USERPROFILE%\.yarnrc or $HOME/.yarnrc, please remove it.

    It would be great if those of you who are affected by this issue could download 2.1.0-alpha.0, and report back if it is working or not.
