Getting message "Unable to connect to the proxy server" when using ZenMate since a few days.

Web pages do not connect when ZenMate is "on" .

I am on Zenmate all the time with no problems at all.  Try uninstalling it and installing it again, you may have a glitch.

I just re-installed it ( the new version 4.6 loaded ) , the result is still the same.

Are you connected via TTNET here in Turkey ?

The problem is that I on my desktop and my wife on her notebook experience the same problem. The only common thing is the wireless modem we are sharing.

Have you tried changing the location of the proxy in the drop down box?  Click on the green shield and then click on 'change location'.  Its worth trying that.

Yes Eric , I tried all 5 locations , none of them works. That people still are working shows at least that the problem is not an internet-phobic blocking action of the government.

Maybe turn modem off and on again?

I even tried another modem , did not work. I am using Chrome. I tried Firefox instead of Chrome and it worked. Still experimenting to find out the reason...

FINALLY I FOUND IT.

I am using Bitdefender Internet Security and one of the settings regarding SSL traffic was the reason.
I turned that setting "off" and ZenMate 's encrypted secure connection did work again. That setting must have blocked all encrypted traffic with ZenMate.

I don't know however how this setting has become "on" as the same happened to my wife's notebook who uses another version of Bitdefender Internet Security. An automatic update might have been the cause.
