Hello,
Currently Arduino 2.x only provides 2 kind of settings for proxy : no proxy or manual.
it could be great if a 3rd option would exists (especially under Windows) : automatic proxy using system proxy settings as is was with Arduino 1.x
It could be default behavior.
Because currently if no proxy is set in an environement where proxy is required the nagscreen showing Arduino logo is looping infinitely at first startup for Arduino 2.x
Kind regards
Hi @scls . Thanks for your report.
The Arduino IDE developers are tracking this missing capability here:
opened 08:51PM - 24 Feb 21 UTC
type: enhancement
topic: code
criticality: medium
### Describe the request
Add an automatic proxy detection capability.
Use … automatic proxy detection by default.
In addition to fully automatic and fully manual, the user should also have the option to enter an "**Automatic proxy configuration URL**":
🙂 No special configuration will be required for many users who connect to the Internet via a proxy.
🙂 Arduino IDE will be able to download the essential assets from the Internet on the first run after a fresh installation.
### Describe the current behavior
Arduino IDE 2.x currently only supports manual proxy configuration, defaulting to not using a proxy:
On the first run after a fresh installation, the IDE must download some essential assets from the Internet. This will fail for users who connect to the Internet via a proxy. At the moment, dependencies on an Internet connection is not clearly communicated to the user (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/784, https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/786, [`forum#1036875`](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-ide-2-00-and-lilygo-t-display-esp-s3-black-screen/1036875)), and may even cause the IDE to fail to start entirely (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1438). Even though this can be mitigated by making the IDE handle such errors gracefully and by communicating about the problem, the lack of access to the assets will always be a less than ideal first experience.
🙁 Users who connect to the Internet via a proxy find the Arduino IDE is non-functional on the first run.
🙁 Users are forced to make fairly complex adjustments to the IDE's network configuration settings in order to use it at all. Users who have only used applications that automatically determine the correct configuration may not know how to find the correct values for these settings.
🙁 Users whose proxy uses [a "proxy auto-configuration" (PAC) file](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_file) will not be able to obtain the values required for manual configuration, meaning the IDE is permanently unusable.
In many cases, it is possible to obtain the necessary proxy configuration from the operating system, as is done by Arduino IDE 1.x (and other applications):
So this poor user experience is avoidable by technical means.

### Describe the problem
Hi,
I've installed the new official release 2.0.0… (on Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) from archive.
When launching it, I got this windows and nothing happen.
#### First step:

```
Same issue on Windows.
It seems the IDE can't connect due to the http_proxy settings (`http_proxy` and `https_proxy` set as an env variables) anyway, user should be warned an issue occurs.
#### Second step:
After removing the `http_proxy` and `https_proxy`, the log show it can go further anyway it fails later when other network access are performed.
Here the logs (Linux):

```
#### Third step:
So I've added manually the proxy setting in the newly created config `~/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml` (linux)
```yaml
network:
proxy: http://<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>
```
Finally I was able to get the IDE properly started.
### To reproduce
Works behind a proxy.
### Expected behavior
- Warn user properly instead of having empty windows with 'splashscreen' or proposed to configure network proxy.
- Document proxy settings requirements for Arduino IDE 2.0.0
Maybe partially linked to arduino/arduino-ide#29
### Arduino IDE version
2.0.0
### Operating system
Windows, Linux
### Operating system version
Windows10 and Linux ubuntu 20.04 LTS
### Additional context
<a name="workaround"></a>
#### Workaround
1. Select **File > Quit** from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
1. Use any text editor to open the file at the following path:
- **Windows:**
```text
C:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
```
(where `<username>` is your Windows username)
- **Linux:**
```text
~/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
```
❗ The `~/.arduinoIDE/` folder may be hidden by default in your file manager and terminal.
- **macOS:**
```text
~/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
```
❗ The `~/.arduinoIDE/` folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by pressing the <kbd>**Command**</kbd>+<kbd>**Shift**</kbd>+<kbd>**.**</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
1. Add the following lines anywhere in the file:
```yaml
network:
proxy: <proxy scheme>://<username>:<password>@<proxy address>:<port>
```
Where the placeholders are:
- `<proxy scheme>`: the URL scheme for your proxy server.
One of the following;
- `http`
- `socks5`
- `<username>`: the username of your proxy server credentials.
- `<password>`: the password of your proxy server credentials.

As mentioned in that issue, it is possible to configure the proxy manually by editing a configuration file. I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:
Close an Arduino IDE windows that might be running.
Use any text editor to open the file at the following path:C:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
<username> is your Windows username)
Add the following lines anywhere in the file:network:
proxy: <proxy scheme>://<username>:<password>@<proxy address>:<port>
<proxy scheme>: the URL scheme for your proxy server.<username>: the username of your proxy server credentials.<password>: the password of your proxy server credentials.<proxy address>: the address of your proxy server.<port>: the port of your proxy server.
Save the file.
Start Arduino IDE.
Hopefully this time it will be able to start.
Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.
