How to use an automatic proxy configuration in Skype

autoproxyPROXYskype

I'm unable to connect to Skype when I'm behind a proxy. My organization uses an autoproxy configuration, so I don't know the name and port of my current proxy. How can I force Skype to use my autoproxy configuration?

Edit: The first thing I tried was setting up Automatic Proxy Detection in the Advanced Options. This doesn't work.

Best Answer

Tools -> Options -> Connection.

Select Automatic proxy detection.

Google-chrome – Even after I connect the dongle no net comes

Have you gone through the network setup? It may be that you need to setup your network. Since you said IE, I assume that this is a windows system. In the control panel there should be a 'Network and Internet'. Try going through that with the dongle connected.

Windows – MinGW installer not working with proxy

New MSYS2 finally has proxy capabilites

The new MSYS2 now uses pacman, the package manager from the arch linux project, to manage both msys and mingw packages. Pacman is capable of using authenticated http(s) proxies, see this article in the Arch Linux wiki for more information.
I added the following lines to \msys64\etc\profile:

# proxy settings
export HTTP_PROXY="username:password@proxy.server.address:port"
export HTTPS_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
export http_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY
export https_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY

and I can now finally install and update minGW and msys packages using pacman through the authenticated http(s) proxy here.
