Proxy isn't working with the latest versions

[Eikido]

I'm using Windows Desktop app (not windows store app) and can't get the newer versions of spotify to run to my proxy server. It keeps saying it's offline.

I have to install an old version, from around mars to get it working.

But unfortunately spotify automatically updates to the latest version on each restart so i have to install an old version each time i start my computer and try not to restart spotify.

Hey @Eikido, thanks for writing!

It's not ideal that this is happening. In this case, it'd be awesome if you could follow these steps:

• Log out of your current Spotify session.
• On the login screen, click on the "Settings" button you'll find at the bottom of the window.
• On the box right beside "Proxy type", select "Auto Detect".
• Once you've done that, try logging back in and see if everything returns to normal.
• If you're still experiencing the same issue, try selecting "No Proxy" from the previous box instead.
• Log back in.

This should allow Spotify to be connected correctly to your network. In case these steps don't work, try giving the app a clean reinstall and follow the steps one more time.

We hope this helps. Have an amazing day 🙂

The moderator is lying. There is an outstanding issue listed here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Proxy-not-working-since-1-0-83-318/m-p/4543839#M635...
