Why the message “downloading proxy script” appears

Generally these errors can be resolved. Sometimes it is a software problem, other times it is our computer or our Internet connection. Typically, such a failure comes with a message to indicate what it is about to users. In this case that message is “downloading proxy script”. The result is that you cannot successfully load a web page.

Sometimes these types of messages can appear very frequently. This makes users wonder why it is and if they can do something about it. It is annoying trying to navigate and that a problem constantly appears that causes the web to not load correctly.

Why does this happen? Normally this message appears when we change Internet connectivity . An example is when going from one Wi-Fi network to another or if connectivity parameters change. This makes it take longer for Chrome to load a website and the message “downloading proxy script” appears.

Keep in mind that proxy servers are used in many corporate environments. This is taken into account by different browsers and operating systems such as Windows and they use automatic settings to determine if we use a proxy server.

However, it is normal that these proxy servers are not used at the particular user level. In our house, for example, we often do not use it. Of course, browsers are configured to verify whether or not we are using proxy servers. This causes the “downloading proxy script” message that appears in Google Chrome to be by default.
