Macos is ignoring proxy settings

Hi, my mac is ignoring proxy settings.

I set up proxy from:

GUI (system settings --> Wi-Fi --> details --> proxies)

CLI (sudo networksetup -setsecurewebproxy Wi-Fi server_ip port_number on domain\username password)

and the result is always the same:

i can see my proxy is activated from: GUI, from the result of the command 'networksetup -getsecurewebproxy Wi-Fi' that is:

Enabled: Yes

Server: server_ip

Port: port_number

Authenticated Proxy Enabled: 0

but the result from scutil --proxy is:

<dictionary> {

 BypassAllowed : 0

 ExceptionsList : <array> {

...

long list of exceptions

...

 }

 FTPPassive : 0

 FallBackAllowed : 0

 HTTPEnable : 0

 HTTPSEnable : 0

 ProxyAutoConfigEnable : 1

 ProxyAutoConfigURLString : https://company_pac/pac_file.pac

 SOCKSEnable : 0

}

And the traffic is never redirected to the proxy.

The only method to make it work is to use a third party software as proxifier, but it introduces a significant delay.

I would like to be able to set up native proxy from the OS, as I was able to in the past, before this bug.

The operative system is Sonoma, 14.4.1, but the bug was present even in Ventura OS.

I know I can't activate proxy after connecting to VPN, or it will be ignored, then i'm activating it before, without any effect.

Thanks to everyone will be able to help me investigate and eventually solving this bug.

Best regards,

Giorgio
