Not able to access websites when Charles Proxy is opened (Windows 10)


I downloaded the app Charles Proxy, I added the certificate and I can confirm that the Charles certificate is in my certlm (Certificate Manager) in the "Trusted Root Certification" folder, I had also enabled SSL Proxying to include this location: "*:443" which I believe means that I want to see all data coming in.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but whenever I open up Charles Proxy, it doesn't allow me to access any websites, all the data coming in Charles is coming in as status: "Blocked"

I'm using Windows 10 if that helps. I didn't have this issue on MacOS, Help is appreciated!


Solution

  • Here was the solution to my problem:

    First quit Charles. Then go to the Internet Options in your Control Panel. Go to the Connections tab. Click on the LAN Settings. You’ll see a Proxy panel. Uncheck the Use a Proxy checkbox. Click OK until you’ve closed the Internet Options.

    Then opened up Charles Log, go to Tools -> Allow List and make sure "Enable Allow List" is unchecked.
