I can't log in. Error message: could not connect to SOCKS 5 proxy server

[MollyHampshire]

Don't ask me why, but under preferences I changes the proxy settings, now I can't log in at all, at all.

I get this error message: Could not connect to SOCKS 5 proxy server ":1080".

I'd love to log in and just go back to the default setting, whatever they were.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

you can change the proxy settings in the login screen by pressing CTRL+P.

Did this help?

OK, yes, thank you, I was able to access my prefernces uncheck the SOCKS 5 server and check the http server box.

But, now, when I click on someones profile I get a blank profile and this error message: Proxy server not found.

Should I start a new ticket, or do you have any other ideas up your sleeve? :-)

Try these settings:

uncheck "Use HTTP Proxy for Web Pages

    Clear any text in the text field  where there's a number field type or scroll to set 3128

uncheck "Use SOCKS 5 Proxy for UDP Traffic

   Clear any text in the text field  where there's a number field type or scroll to set 1080

"SOCKS Authentication"

   check "No Authentication"

uncheck "UsernamePassword"

   Clear any text in the text fields

"Other HTTP Traffic Proxy"

  check "Do not Proxy"

uncheck everything else

 

Those are my settings and I've never touched them....they should be default.

Yay! That did the trick, thank you, thank you.
