title: Fiddler blocks my Internet access when it starts to capture web traffic
body: <p>I have Windows 8.1 installed on my computer and regularly use Fiddler to capture web traffic.</p>
  
  <p>Recently, however, when I open Fiddler and
  it strats to capture web traffic, my Internet connectivity dies.</p>
  
  <p>The error I get when I open <strong>IE</strong> is <code>"the proxy server isn't responding."</code></p>
  
  <p>In <strong>Chrome</strong>, I get <code>"Could not connect to proxy server"</code> with the following error: <code>"Error code: ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED."</code></p>
  
  <p>Fiddler doesn't even capture any of the requests going out. The weird thing is that Fiddler was working ok just some days ago and nothing was recently installed on my system.</p>
  
  <p>Searching the Internet for 5 hours, trying everything, and no effective response.</p>
  
  <p>This also had no effect: <a href="http://www.telerik.com/blogs/fiddler-and-internet-explorer-11-on-windows-8-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.telerik.com/blogs/fiddler-and-internet-explorer-11-on-windows-8-1</a>​</p>
  
  <p>It seems that the proxy server created by Fiddler is simply not attending to any traffic.</p>
  
  <p><strong>If I close Fiddler or disable the capture mode my internet come back to normal.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Uninstall and reinstall Fiddler does not solve the problem, neither restart Windows.​</p>
  
  <p>This <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19572575/fiddler-causes-my-internet-access-to-stop-working">question</a> has some similarities with my problem, but as I said, none of the answers worked for me.</p>
  
  <p>Why is Fiddler having this problem, and how can I fix it?</p>
