WakaTime not working through corp SSL proxy

[alanhamlett]

Does the WakaTime status bar item always say offline or sometimes say WakaTime Active?

When is the last time vscode shows in this list of your editors:
https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current/user_agents
( Check the last_seen time for vscode )

Yes always. the user_agents are empty. So I guess that means it was never online.

How is the connection to wakatime implemented? I recently had problems of "apps" trying to use port 443 because Kaspersky disrupted the connection without any feedback or error message.

[alanhamlett]

It makes a https request to remote port 443. Try disabling your firewall and see if that fixes it?

I cannot, it is an enterprise solution so I have no control over it.

[alanhamlett]

Can your Administrator add WakaTime to an approved list?

I tried that with other apps already, didn't work, we are considering disabling port traffic control.

I now get this

[alanhamlett]

That is the Python part of WakaTime (wakatime-cli) now receiving an error connecting to the API. This means your plugin was able to connect to GitHub to download wakatime-cli but then coding activity was not able to be sent to the API.

You should have some more details as to why the connection failed in this file:
C:\Users\stefan.schneider\.wakatime.log

Unfortunately the log file is empty

I'm behind a company vpn and can only connect via http connections via the command line since the VPN acts as man-in-the-middle the certificate gets rejected.

[alanhamlett]

@bensontrent we can't support http for security reasons, but you could proxy the api requests and change the api_url setting in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file.

If you don't mind your company eavesdropping on your api calls, I can setup a Heroku Deploy button for you that would create a proxy for your api calls using your personal Heroku account. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Alan, wanna continue on this discussion. I encounter the same issue with atom-wakatime. And I disabled the SSL verification requirement in waka setting in Atom however, it still always shows wakatime offline. But the it works under my home internet environment. Any advice? Thanks!

[jeanpaul1304]

Same problem :/

[alanhamlett]

What proxy setting are you using in ~/.wakatime.cfg?

Closed due to lack of information.
