To overcome the authentication required by our company proxy we are using Winfoom on dev machines. Unluckily Rancher Desktop gets no connection via Winfoom.

Error on moproxy.log is not very helpful.  
`proxies but failed: Connection refused (os error 111)`

With protocol (HTTP vs HTTPS) is being used when connecting with proxy?

Any experiences using Winfoom? Are further debug logs available?
