Hi Robert,

Dirk looked into this weeks ago:

AFAIK for the time being is not possible to use a proxy (until someone
correct libgit2).
The problem now is that I get a temporary direct access to internet but I
cannot get rid of the previous proxy settings on my pc.
Maybe the subsurface trace log is not correct because I erased that values
form my registry.
