Everything works fine here

On a serious note, please provide full system information, like OS, CPU, GPU, Browser. Then take a screenshot of the system info section in fahclient.

Thanks

Click on the cog looking icon, set the slider to maximum, save, click fold all

[foldingissues]

Nothing

[foldingissues]

If you want we can do teamview. This is as dead as can be

[muziqaz]

What are you running on your network? Anything exotic?
Screenshots would still help.
System restart wouldn't hurt either

[arisu]

Did you put anything custom in the config? Because "172.2241.19:14323" is not a valid IP.

[foldingissues]

i just concealed actual ip, but can it have to do with proxy

[muziqaz]

Why not start with that info???

[calxalot]

Does v8.4.9 support proxies on windows?

[foldingissues]

Thats what I'm wondering. i prefer not to release my IP on a public forum for security, however, does this support proxy?

[calxalot]

Change log for 8.4.0 says
Added system HTTP proxy support. No config necessary.

[calxalot]

I think ip starting 172 is a private local address anyway.

The reason your client is not working is that you have incorrectly configured the proxy. If you are using an HTTP proxy, it must start with http://. That is why the error says "expected alpha", meaning it expected a letter but instead it got a number.

Wherever you configured the proxy, make sure it is an HTTP proxy (not a SOCKS proxy) and put http:// in front of it. Then it will work as long as your proxy works.
