Proxy error

Hello

Everytime i start Teamviewer on my computer it says that i'm probably using a proxy and to check the settings.

I don't use any proxy. I've formatted my PC and the error persists. Windows 7 x86

Tried Ubuntu and got the same error. Tried another software and it works without any problems. 

What gives? In version 11 the same occurs.

    Hi disq,

    Thank you for your post.

    Your TeamViewer needs to connect to our servers over port 5938. Please make sure that the TeamViewer application is not being blocked by your firewall or security software, and that port 5938 is open in your firewall or router for outgoing connections.

    Please let me know, if this solved the issue. Thank you in advance.

  • Hi Esther,

    Is Teamviewer change port with the new version 12.0 ?

    Hi Franck,

    No, there are no changes in regards to the ports with the new version 12.

    Thank you very much for the direction.

     

    Are you able to expand a little on where to do to check on these settings?

     

    Thanks!

  • Hi Esther and colleagues,

    We are facing the same issue.

    It seems that it is not possible to get a connection with only using our proxy.

    It only works if we allow port 5938 from our clients directly to your server infrastructure.
    TeamViewer 10 works totally fine with our configuration. And 11&12 worked as well a few weeks/months ago. So we assume that there were a change on your side. We are not able to allow port 5938 to the outside. Is there any known workaround or another solution available?

    Thank you very much in advance for your valuable feedback on this topic.

    Kind regards,
    Markus

    I've tried to allow all communication (I've turned off my firewall) and became still the same information about need of setting up proxy parameters. I don't use proxy. I've uninstalled and installed again Teamviewer (ver. 13 on Win 10, 64) with removing all settings and there is still the same problem.I've removed my Teamviewer account and created a new one, them installed Teamviewer again - the problem occures again. The first time I get the error message was when I restored my hard drive from the image ( there was Teamviewer ver. 12 )

  • I use TeamViewer 12 and got the error message after using 12 for months.  I was unable to find the Proxy information.  However, I deleted TeamViewer 12 completely and reloaded it.  That solved the issue.

  • Same here!

    Same problem! Problem exists since 2017! Is there any solution? Reinstalling does nothing. Where is the real issue? Every time I upgrade TeamViewer I need to reinstall my Windows? R U serious TeamViewer Team?
