Hey everyone,

Is anyone else having trouble with their at&t proxy settings lately? I’ve been trying to get mine to work, but it’s been a total headache.

For some reason, my connection keeps timing out, and I’m not sure if it’s on my end or if at&t is doing something funky. I’ve tried resetting everything, but no luck so far.

Anyone got tips or facing the same issue? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like at&t proxy has been acting up more than usual.

Thanks in advance for any help!

(Also, sorry if this has been asked before—I did a quick search but didn’t find anything recent.)

Hey! I’ve been having the same issue with at&t proxy settings lately. It’s super frustrating.

I found that using a VPN helped bypass the problem temporarily. Not sure if that’s a long-term fix, but it worked for me.

Also, check out this site called ProxyCheck—it’s a free tool to test if your proxy is working properly. Might help narrow down the issue!

Ugh, at&t proxy has been a nightmare for me too. My connection keeps dropping randomly.

I tried resetting my router and modem, but no luck. Then I switched to Google’s DNS settings (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and it seemed to stabilize things a bit.

Maybe give that a shot? Let me know if it works for you!

Yo, same here! at&t proxy has been acting up for weeks.

I called their support, and they said there’s some maintenance going on in certain areas. Could that be it?

Anyway, I used a tool called Fiddler to debug my proxy settings, and it helped me figure out where the timeout was happening. Might be worth a try if you’re tech-savvy.

I’ve been dealing with at&t proxy issues too. Super annoying.

I found that clearing my browser cache and cookies helped a little. Also, try using a different browser like Firefox or Edge to see if it’s browser-specific.

If all else fails, I’d recommend reaching out to at&t support directly. They might have more info on what’s going on.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried switching to Google DNS and clearing my cache, and it’s definitely better now. Still not perfect, but at least it’s usable.

I’ll give ProxyCheck and Fiddler a try next to see if I can figure out what’s causing the timeouts.

Has anyone else noticed if this is happening more in certain areas? Just curious if it’s regional or widespread. Thanks again!

at&t proxy has been a pain lately, no doubt.

I switched to using a manual proxy setup instead of automatic, and it’s been working better for me. Here’s a quick guide I used: https://www.lifewire.com/manual-proxy-se...up-4142077

Give it a shot and see if it helps!

Same boat here. at&t proxy settings have been glitchy for me too.

I used a tool called ProxyCap to reroute my traffic, and it’s been smooth sailing since. It’s not free, but it’s worth it if you’re desperate.

Also, double-check your firewall settings—sometimes they block proxy connections without warning.
