"Chrome proxy.http keeps disconnecting—any fixes?"
Hey folks,
Is anyone else having issues with chrome proxy.http randomly dropping connections? It works fine for a bit, then just... stops. Super annoying when you’re in the middle of something.
Tried restarting Chrome, even my PC, but no luck. Using the latest version, btw.
Any tips? Maybe a setting I’m missing? Or is this just a known bug?
Thanks in advance!

Hey! Had the same issue with chrome proxy.http last week. Turns out it was a conflict with my VPN. If you're using one, try disabling it temporarily to see if that helps.
Also, check chrome://net-internals/#proxy in Chrome—it shows active proxy configs and errors. Might give you a clue!
Ugh, chrome proxy.http drops are the worst. Try clearing your cache and cookies. Sometimes stale data messes with the connection.
If that doesn’t work, switch to a different proxy tool like FoxyProxy or Proxy SwitchyOmega. Way more stable IMO.
Yo, this might sound dumb, but double-check your internet connection. I spent hours troubleshooting chrome proxy.http only to realize my Wi-Fi was flaky.
Also, try disabling extensions one by one—some of them interfere with proxy settings.
If chrome proxy.http keeps disconnecting, it could be a server-side issue. Are you using a free proxy? Those are notoriously unreliable.
Try a paid service like Luminati or Smartproxy. More stable, and they have better support.
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! Tried clearing cache and disabling extensions—no luck yet.
Gonna test the VPN angle next. Btw, anyone know if chrome proxy.http works better on Linux? Might switch if this keeps up.
Also, +1 for Proxy SwitchyOmega—installing it now. Will update if it fixes things!
Had this exact problem! Fixed it by resetting Chrome’s flags. Go to chrome://flags, search for "proxy," and reset everything to default.
Also, make sure your system proxy settings (in Windows) match Chrome’s. Sometimes they clash.
chrome proxy.http drops could be due to a timeout setting. Try increasing the timeout in your proxy config.
If you’re tech-savvy, Wireshark might help diagnose where the connection fails.
This might be a long shot, but check your firewall/antivirus. Some of them block proxy connections randomly.
Temporarily disable them to test. If it works, add an exception for chrome proxy.http.
