This repository provides scripts (for Windows) to work around an issue where Microsoft Apps are blocked from accessing to local proxy (with loopback IP) by default, and then unable to connect to the internet. They are especially for people who are using V2RayN for network tunneling.
Provides a Windows PowerShell .ps1 script AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1 to scan all installed AppContainers/AppxPackages and add them to loopback exempted list; and a batch .bat script Update_WinHTTP_IE_Proxy.bat to import current proxy settings to WinHTTP proxy.
These scripts are build for Windows operating system environment. Download and run the scripts via the commands provided.
To run AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1, execute the following command in Command Prompt:
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chinghungx/AppContainer-Proxy-Access/main/Scripts/AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1" > "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1" && PowerShell -Command ".'%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1'"
If you are using a proxy, add
-x {host}:{port}aftercurl.
. . . or in Windows PowerShell:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chinghungx/AppContainer-Proxy-Access/main/Scripts/AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1").Content > "$ENV:HOMEDRIVE$ENV:HOMEPATH\Downloads\AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1"; ."$ENV:HOMEDRIVE$ENV:HOMEPATH\Downloads\AppxPackage_Loopback_Exemption.ps1"
To run Update_WinHTTP_IE_Proxy.bat, execute the following command in Command Prompt with administrator privileges:
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chinghungx/AppContainer-Proxy-Access/main/Scripts/Update_WinHTTP_IE_Proxy.bat" > "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\Update_WinHTTP_IE_Proxy.bat" && "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\Update_WinHTTP_IE_Proxy.bat"
