Fiddler setting proxy settings despite process ended


I have an interesting issue where upon closing fiddler, it still sets my proxy settings. This results in me not being able to access the internet unless I have fiddler open (Due to it reverting my proxy settings once I change them).

Is this a global issue, and if so, does anybody know the process/service that is responsible for this? I'd love to kill it!


Solution

  • Fiddler adopts your system proxy settings on start and reverts them when it shuts down. Fiddler doesn't have any components, services, modules, etc, that change anything when it is not actually running.

    When Fiddler isn't running, what are the exact settings values seen inside IE's Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings?
