Release notes

FEATURE

Opt-in Windows system proxy support for smoother authentication

In places with strict network controls like corporate offices, you can now log in without getting blocked. The system added opt-in support for Windows system proxies (intermediary servers that forward your network requests); once enabled, it understands PAC, WPAD (scripts and protocols for automatic proxy configuration), static proxies, and bypass rules set in Windows, keeping you from getting stuck at the authentication screen due to blocked internet access. Like visiting a highly secured building where you used to have to find your own way, now, if you opt in, the building's dedicated guide will automatically lead you through all the checkpoints to your destination.
