Title: Proxy is inactive
Post by: exotrax on June 29, 2021, 09:53:19 AM

Hello,

I recently installed exitlag to play Lost Ark on RU servers, always worked fine but now I can't use it anymore because I got the following message :

Proxy is inactive
Firewall blocked ExitLag.
Please disable firewall or add exitlag to exceptions.

Exitlag was added already to the exceptions and works if I disable the firewall(don't want to do it again), why I can't use it even if is added to the exceptions ?

Thank you in advance for your help

Set the Avast Firewall to private mode and reboot.

Hey Asyn,

Thanks for your answer,

I google how to set it on private mode but can't find any thing and can't find that option on Avast :(

Any help would be great :)

Hey,

I found out what the problem was, some how the avast firewall was set to public network instead private(I use this PC only from home).

After changing it to private worked fine.
