charles proxy internet connection

I am trying to collect log for Android mobile device through charles proxy. As soon as I connect my device charles proxy Application, I lose the internet connection on my mobile device and mac internet connection.

Steps followed: 1. Open charles proxy 2. Click on Proxy tab> Proxy settings 3. Made sure, port is 8888 4. Go to help (charles proxy app) and click on local IP 5. Connect the mobile device to same wifi 6. Long press on wifi and click on modify network 7. click on advance settings 8. choose proxy as "manual" 9. Enter proxy host name as "IP address from step 4 (local host ip address)" 10. Enter Proxy port as "8888" 11. Click on connect

As soon as complete step 11, I lose my internet connection on the mobile device and mac. Though I can see the device's logs in charles proxy.

If I open the browser it gives the below error:

On mobile device: "This site cannot be reached. www. google.com unexpectedly closed the connection"

on the web (mac machine) error message is: "This site can’t be reached www.google.com unexpectedly closed the connection. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Network Diagnostics ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED"

Note: I have tried on windows 10 laptop too. Same issue. As soon as I close the charles proxy, the internet connection comes back.

What is Charles Proxy used for?

Charles is an HTTP proxy / HTTP monitor / Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP and SSL / HTTPS traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information).

How do I throttle network with Charles Proxy?

To enable throttling in Charles you can either go to Proxy -> Start Throttling or press cmd + T. This will turn on global throttling by default. You can configure how Charles throttles, and for which hosts through Proxy -> Throttle Settings or by pressing cmd + shift + T.

By default, all hosts are whitelisted. If you whitelist one particuliar host (eg. right-click on it in the log and click "White List"), this default behaviour will not longer be applied and you will have to decide for each host whether you wish to whitelist them or not. A solution to your problem would be to go to the "Tools" menu > "White List" and change the "Blocking action" rule to something else than "Drop connection". Charles Proxy White List Settings

You should make sites whitelisted. For this open menu:

1) Proxy->SSL Proxy Settings...

2) On SSL Proxy press "Add" button Charles Settings

3) In Host add *

Done. This will allow any connections to any hosts.
