After fiddler shutdown my internet stops working

When I shut down fiddler my browser is not able to access any website. When I restart fiddler, its starts working again. After shutting down fiddler I checked proxy settings on ie and made sure it was reverted to "automatically detect proxy settings."

I even restarted the machine and that didn't help. What else can I try?

This problem is reproducible when I press F12 and stop capture of traffic in fiddler.

Late answer in case someone comes across this issue. I installed Fiddler Everywhere and unless I was connected to my VPN, my internet would not work at all. The problem was the proxy settings that were modified that didn't go away after uninstalling.

It's a simple fix:

  1. Start Menu
  2. Open Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy Settings
  3. Under "Manual proxy set up" disable "Use a proxy server" or anything that Fiddler may have entered down here

After that, you should be good to go.

From command prompt use inetcpl.cpl to launch the internet options, then check in Connections->Lan Settings if the proxy is enable, just disable it by unchecking "Use a server proxy for your LAN"
