The client runs but the proxy is not active
Check the system proxy switch and listening port manually; clients do not automatically cover every app.

Who it is for
Users whose client starts but browsers, terminals, or other apps cannot connect.
Before troubleshooting
- Confirm the profile loaded successfully
- Record proxy settings, listening port, and logs
- Prepare a normal non-sensitive page for testing
Troubleshooting steps
- 1
Confirm the client is running and the profile has usable nodes or proxy groups.
- 2
Check that the system proxy points to the client listening address and port; do not run multiple proxy apps at once.
- 3
Check port conflicts, DNS behavior, and firewall rules.
- 4
Disable TUN and complex rules, test with a minimal profile, and restore custom settings gradually.
Common issues
Only some apps fail
The app may ignore system proxy settings, miss a rule, or need TUN; inspect logs before changing settings.
Next step
If the problem started after enabling TUN, read the TUN troubleshooting guide.
