• Check your OS proxy settings – frankle Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 12:18

I am using Max OS X. Therefore my answer would be only related to OS X.

There are cases when we cannot browse when Charles is installed because it changes your proxy settings when launched. It resets the proxy settings when closed. The settings are of type proxy setting called Web Proxy(HTTP) and Secure WebProxy(HTTPS). These are checked when Charles is launched and unchecked when Charles is closed.

However, if Charles crashes for some reason it cannot reset (uncheck) the proxy setting. Hence it blocks the browsing afterwards.

To fix this go to System Preferences -> Network (1) -> Advanced -> Proxies and uncheck Web Proxy(HTTP) and Secure WebProxy(HTTPS).

In short Uncheck Web Proxy(HTTP) and Secure WebProxy(HTTPS) and the problem would be fixed -

Ref: 1 = Select port service you are using. In my case it was "ethernet"

Probably not the right place for this sort of question(you want a site like pcadvisor But, it sounds like the proxy you installed is blocking your normal network connection. You can probably just disable whatever virtual device it's created(if it has created one). Or change your proxy settings back to your normal ones. Don't have time to go into detail on that though sorry. Maybe someone else will give you a full answer, but I advise you to post on pcadvisor.

Update now:

I found that when I follow the following steps, you can visit the Web site:

1. Open your charles
2. Click the button at the top of Proxy
3. Click the button of Proxy Settings
4. Click the button of Restore Defaults
5. Click the button at the bottom of OK
