My Question or Issue

Si I'm not entirely sure what is going on. One day i'm able to use spotify perfectly fine, and then the next day I can't seem to access my account with an error that says (Error code : 17 and 37)

 

It told me something about proxy settings so I had tried every proxy setting with different Hosts and Ports that was available on the internet. I had also tried a different account (My friends) but that obviously didn't seem to work. It had also told me something about a firewall, which is when I had deleted then re-added spotify, but disappointingly nothing happened. I then proceeded to updating it and then re-install after erasing everything, and even tried to restart my computer. I have also tried to turn the wifi on then off, connect to ethernet, update all drivers, boot in safe mode, de-activate windows firewall etc. Nothing worked out for me and I don't even have any VPN services related to proxy bypass that could potentially affect the program from accessing my account. It always comes up with the eror 17 or 37. I have tried the web version of it, which surprisingly worked out perfectly fine, but I would much rather have the app version of it as I can actually skip sings or pause it without having to go into the actual app and just using keyboard shortcuts - not to mention that chrome takes up a fairly decent amount of RAM meaning that ideally I want to stay away from playing the web version on a browser. 

 

Although, I had been able to get to my account through Host 127.0.0.1 and port 8001 on Socks4, but the spotify app had told me that I was offline. I have tried pretty much everything in my power to get spotify to work only to fail every single time.

 

I've attached a screenshot of what I get everytime I try to log in. Please help me as I've been at this for nearly 2 hours and want to fix this problem.

Hi there,

 

The setting inside the Router that you're using may blocked the port from Spotify. I would recommend to reset your Internet Router. There should be a very small button on the Router for you to press reset. 

Hey @jaeminhan!

Right now it's only possible for free accounts to use Spotify abroad for 14 days. You can learn more by reading this Spotify Answer.

Hope this helps!
