What is web code 407? Getting a proxy authentication error – how do I fix it?
Hey everyone! So I was trying to access a site earlier and got hit with this "407 Proxy Authentication Required" error. Like, what is web code 407 anyway? Never seen it before and now I’m stuck.
From what I gathered, it’s basically the server saying, "Hey, you gotta prove who you are before I let you through this proxy." But why’s it popping up now? I didn’t change any settings!
Anyone else run into this? How’d you fix it? I tried restarting my router (classic move lol), but no luck. Do I need to mess with proxy settings or something?
Would really appreciate any tips—kinda annoying when you just wanna browse and hit a wall like this. Thanks in advance!
(Also, if you’ve got a dumbed-down explanation of what is web code 407, that’d be awesome. My tech vocab isn’t the best.)
