Unity Editor doesn't work with proxy

Unity editor and asset store Internet access is completely broken behind anything more than a basic proxy. Has been for years and probably will be for years more. Wish they'd understand this is a real issue and bring back the direct download option and proper proxy support in the editor.

If you know your proxy information you can try setting the environment variable HTTP_proxy to "proxy.server.url:port" ie "theproxy.mycompany.com:8080" and it MAY work if your proxy is completely transparent (which is fewer and fewer enterprise proxies these days)

@Onepeop1e This is a round about way to get it working. Not ideal, but it worked for me. First create a batch file on your desktop. Name it something like "launchUnity.bat". Place the following commands in it:

cd C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor set http_proxy=http://whatever.yourproxyis.com:portnumber set https_proxy=http://whatever.yourproxyis.com:portnumber set UNITY_NOPROXY=127.0.0.1 unity.exe

Save the file. Now use it to launch unity editor. Adjust paths, proxy etc, to match your system specifics.

Initially I created ENV variables (I'm on WIn 64) and they did not work. I modified the ENV variables to this format (used before with npm and obtained from infrastructure here)

http://domain%5Cusername:password@servername:port/

Obviously substitute https for your https environment variable.

I hope this helps.

Well, I dont know if you still want to know but I fix it by allowing Unity in the windows firewall. If you dont know how to do it you can follow the method 1 in this guide :)
