By proxy I mean seetings on the Proxy tab (in the Network panel) where SSL is selected. As for server in this version (2.9.3) the server tab is greyed out unlike in 3.0.2 so I can't see any choices for servers
That'll be because you have "select server automatically" checked on the "Overview" tab. The network settings options were changed around a little in the upgrade from v2.9.3 to v3...
In v3, the "select server automatically" option was moved to the "Server" tab...
Well...I set the pull down box under SSL to NONE and came back later to find that darn light had turned green
how about that.
Maybe things are looking up
Yeah... looks like you'd accidentally configured Electrum to attempt to connect to a (non-existent) SOCKS5 proxy on your local machine
