Hi, I’m working on a PC with restricted internet connection. So I’m not able to connect to my account without using proxy. It will be great if Obsidian supports proxy in the future.

It does not appear to do so for me, because I have this problem too. The app will check for updates properly, but if I try to activate my commercial license it goes into a black hole and never responds. This is almost always a sign that Obsidian is not honoring proxy settings. None of the answers i…

Folks, I think you are conflating here different types of access control and call them proxies. @ccrayton Just double checked, activate commercial license also goes through the system proxy. Is it possible that your system proxy blocks obsidian/github? Check for updates has a fallback location. @…

Disclaimer: My boss knows what i am doing and wrote down that i am allowed to do this. So be sure, if my usecase matches yours, that you are allowed too. So guys if you are as lucky as me and your proxy is set by IP and Port in your internet options (old IE dialog like in the image above from White…

Update: Only ten days later, right after upgrade to v12.5, it does not update any plugins or itself anymore with that settings… So my last answer is “old” by now.

Same problem here. Update works, everything else seems to be blocked (browsing community plugins, activating commercial license, etc).

Here’s the problem: <i class="a_i"></i> Sorry, this web browser is not approved for use at our company. </td></tr> <tr><td class="hr"><hr></td></tr> <tr><td class="eu_co rsn"> Not allowed to use the browser: Google Chrome (89.x) </td></tr> I fixed it by uninstalling and then reinstalling Obsidian …

I think it is quite common that we cannot route the whole system traffic through a proxy. We can only route a certain app. Like in Chrome, we can use SwitchyOmega. The point is, Obsidian cannot access some websites/APIs that requires a specifically configured network proxy; if we re-route the whole …

You can set the no_proxy environment variable to exclude certain hosts/IPs from being routed through the proxy. But yes, it would be better if Obsidian would allow per-app configuration.

Thank you for the suggestion! I’m still getting the same error after an uninstall and reinstall. Where did you find the Not allowed to use the browser: Google Chrome (89.x)? I’d like know if I am having the same issues. Any suggestions on how to force an update of the Electron instance? Any other …

Request to add http socks proxy as built-in feature Feature requests

Use case or problem In a restricted network (mostly in company), obsidian cannot connect to Internet. In this case, Sync feature won’t work, plugins cannot download / update. Proposed solution Add proxy settings as a built-in feature to allow ==http/socks5 proxy== to update plugins and sync. Current workaround (optional) No workaround: Using OS proxy is NOT a workaround as it mess up all other running applications in the system (Windows). Obsidian even doesn’t support http_proxy env variable…
