Hey everyone,
Anyone else running into the "connection request failed 407" error lately? I’ve been trying to connect to my server, but it keeps throwing this error at me. Super annoying, tbh.
I’ve tried restarting my router, clearing cache, and even reinstalled the app, but no luck. Is this a server-side issue or something on my end?
Also, if anyone’s fixed this before, pls share how you did it. I’m kinda stuck here and need to get this sorted ASAP.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. If it helps, I’m on Windows 10 and using the latest version of the app.
Hey! I had the same "connection request failed 407" error last week. Turns out it was a proxy authentication issue.
If you're using a proxy, check your settings in the app or browser. You might need to enter your proxy credentials manually.
I used Fiddler (a free tool) to debug the issue. It helped me figure out what was going wrong. Maybe give that a shot?
Good luck!
Ugh, the 407 error is such a pain. I fixed mine by updating my network settings.
Go to your network adapter settings > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Advanced.
Then, under the "WINS" tab, disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Worked for me, but YMMV. Let me know if it helps!
Yo, I had this exact issue! The "connection request failed 407" error usually means the server needs authentication.
Double-check if your app or browser is sending the right credentials. If you're using a VPN or proxy, that could be the culprit.
I used Postman to test my API requests and found out my headers were messed up. Maybe try that?
Also, check out this guide: [link to a troubleshooting guide]. Helped me big time.
Hey, I feel your pain. The "connection request failed 407" error drove me nuts for days.
For me, it was a firewall issue. My antivirus was blocking the connection. I added an exception for the app, and it worked.
If you're using Windows Defender or another antivirus, try disabling it temporarily to see if that fixes it.
If it does, add the app to your allowlist. Hope this helps!
Same here! The "connection request failed 407" error kept popping up for me too.
I fixed it by clearing my DNS cache. Open Command Prompt as admin and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
Then restart your PC. It might not work for everyone, but it’s worth a shot.
Also, check if your ISP is having issues. Sometimes it’s not on your end.
Hey, I had this issue a while back. The "connection request failed 407" error is usually related to proxy settings.
If you're not using a proxy, make sure your app isn’t trying to connect through one. Check the app settings or config files.
I used a tool called Charles Proxy to monitor my network traffic and found the issue. It’s a bit technical, but super helpful.
Let me know if you need more details!
Thanks so much for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried flushing the DNS cache and disabling my antivirus, but no luck yet.
I’m gonna test my proxy settings next and maybe give Fiddler a shot.
Quick question though—if it’s a server-side issue, is there a way to confirm that? Like, how do I know if it’s not just me?
Appreciate all the help! Will keep you posted.
