Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/agrinman/tunnelto/issues/36

I've tested the .exe file on a Windows 10, and it doesn't seem to be able to create the tunnel.

The pc is in a proxy'd network, and I guess that is the problem.

There is any way to set the proxy settings?

Proxy settings shouldn't affect tunnelto. It communicates to the outside world via web sockets. What error are you getting?

I have the same problem as @naulacambra : in order to access the outside internet (as opposed to the corporate intranet) we have to go through a corporate proxy (so that they can check that we're not doing things we shouldn't be doing...).
That means that tunnelto when it attempts to make any kind of request to the internet (which it must) has to go through that proxy. That's what the http_proxy environment variable is used for.
What would be nice is if tunnelto checked that http_proxy environment variable and used it if it exists.
Currently it does not, which means that when I'm the corporate network, where going through the corporate proxy is required to access the outside internet, I currently get errors (timeouts) like this when launching tunnelto:
