Description

Hello all,,

I was checking your new keybase client. I stumbled across a problem when I tried to install it in a machine at work.

At work we have access to the internet through a restrictive proxy (allowing to connect only in ports 80 and 443). So every program has to know the proxy (and the credentials) in order to connect.

While the Keybase installation goes smoothly, the app doesn't have any setting in order to specify that. The only thing it says is: "Keybase is currently unreachable, Trying to reconnect you..."

Cheers,
Harry
