Keeps telling me to set up the proxy

Post by g218 »

I have a problem with versions 1.3x: as soon as I set them up they work fine but some hours later they tell me to set up the proxy again. I'm using a Tab 3 with no root and Android 4.2.2. Adblock 1.2x works fine but keeps telling me to update. Is there a way to disable the update notification?

I'm having the same issue on a Verizon LG G3 running stock Lollipop. I know I'm setting up the proxy correctly, but Adblock keeps telling me it's waiting on traffic on port 2020. Anyone have any insight as to what's causing this?

Same problem as rainy, but on a Motorola Moto E 2nd Gen with Lollipop.

I have version 1.3 build 359 running on a Moto X (2nd Gen) running lollipop. Adblock Plus constantly gives me the error waiting for traffic on port 2020. I have the proxy set to localhost and the port to 2020 in my wireless settings. Please fix this.

waiting for traffic on port 2020

Hi there.
First, thumbs up for chrome add-on.
My problem:
I use Oneplus One phone. Lollipop. Installed the latest version of addblocker plus. Did all the proxy settings. And still, it works for only a minute and then stops and shows "waiting for traffic..". Sometimes it even blocks my intetnet connection.
Hope to hear some advice
Thank you

I'm having the same problem on a One Plus One only since Lollipop. Prior to Lollipop, this worked perfectly.
Running ADblock v1.3 build 359
Proxy settings are configured for localhost and port 2020

This seems to relate - https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/1667
(I found it previously on my phone whilst searching for a solution, but as I wrote this the 'adblock issues' website is currently having some issue of it's own.)
If others are having the same issue, please update the issue link above
