OS X proxy not working but Firefox Proxy is working

The proxy settings in Network Prefs seem to have no effect except to make my system stop working properly. In short...

Setting up the proxy in Firefox works.

Telnet to the proxy:port works from a terminal window. Also I config in terminal env variable

ex : http_proxy=http://192.168.1.5:8080

https_proxy=http://192.168.1.5:8080

Then it’s work on terminal as well.

Setting up the proxy in OS X network prefs, the proxy never sees the traffic and Safari can't open a page.

Is it safe to change the Configure Proxy Access to the Internet I'm having trouble logging into a couple of sites after a recent upgrade to Firefox, but they work in Safari. I don't want to change browsers if I don't have to. I put the question to the Mozilla community and had only one reply - to go to Network Settings and change the Configure Proxy Access to the Internet to No Proxy. I am not a tech savvy person. Is it safe to try this? MacBook Air 2015, Monterey 12.3

Using a bash script to set up Proxies on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 My company use Proxy. One Proxy for HTTP and One Proxy for HTTPS and some Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains. I was not able to reach google.com website because I had to specify the proxy which I did and everything is working as expected. But I want to automate my process instead of using the GUI. I have a strange behavior with my script below when I try to set up: System Preferences > Network > "Example Wi-Fi" > Advanced > Proxies. Again, if I set all the Proxies parameters using the GUI (manually) everything is working as expected but I if try to use my script below I am having issues like I cannot reach web sites, etc. I am pretty sure I am missing some command lines from my script. The funny things that when I run the script I can literally see all the parameters being applied to the GUI (Network > Proxies), as if I had to manually inserted. Again they are all there. I tried to reboot my Mac Laptop, I also try to reset some DNS cache but nothing, still same strange issue. What could be the issue? What command line from the script I am missing? See my script below (for security reasons I am faking the IP address and domain name.) Thank you in advance. #!/bin/bash networksetup -setwebproxy "Wi-Fi" 10.10.10.10 8080 networksetup -setsecurewebproxy "Wi-Fi" 10.10.10.20 8443 networksetup -setproxybypassdomains "Wi-Fi" "127.0.0.1,*.local,169.254/16,*.subdomain.maindomain.com,*.maindomain.com" networksetup -setwebproxystate "Wi-Fi" on

Safari bug via proxy in Monterey After upgrading to Monterey version, we found a problem with Safari. When connecting to the corporate network via vpn (cisco any connect - version 4.10.03104), we cannot access external sites, links do not open in the browser and internal sites (bypassing the proxy) open. If you open the same link in another browser (Google Chrome / Edge / Firefox) - everything works. The problem only occurs in the Safari browser on Monterey, in Big Sur and earlier versions - everything works correctly. sniffed traffic with a network analyzer when Safari used - you can see, that when the proxy server asked for credentials for authorization - Safari does not send anything, we get an error code 407 "proxy authentication required" Does anyone have the same problem? Or is it already a solution?
