I get the following message when looking up on google after installing and configuring the add-on:

The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

I got the same error with the other proxies though. If I go on google.ca I don’t have the error but I wonder if I go through the proxy at all in that case.

I’m running Firefox 9.0.1 under OS X.

Nice proxy, the only one on the net I’ve found so far. I decided to put up another one at gs.netsend.nl (81/443), just to let you guys know. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the alternate proxy. The main one (proxy.googlesharing.net) has been down all day, and I *really* don’t want Google (or my ISP) knowing I’m image-searching for [REDACTED]. (It’s not what you think ;) But it’s still something I don’t want Them to know.)

“On your home computer can you visit https://storm.psych0tik.net:8443 in the browser? If so, have you accepted the SSL certificate by clicking on the “I understand the risks” and the “Add exception” buttons? The exception is domain specific, so if you are using a different alias for our GSProxy, such as gsproxy.psych0tik.net, you’ll need to follow that process for the domain you are using.”

I did just that, and accepted the certificate exception. I got the following error:

“The request you issued is not authorized for GoogleSharing. Perhaps you need to upgrade your GoogleSharing Addon?”

It is already updated and is the 0.21 version.

Sorry, I’m not so good in all that computer stuff. But yes, on my work computer I did exactly what you have just described, successfully, on my home one I can not do this due to the I mentioned above.

The only other common issue I’ve seen with the GSProxy is that the SSL certificate is invalid (self-signed) and until you allow it the GSProxy add-on won’t work properly. You also might want to verify your connectivity to storm, in case you aren’t getting the proper DNS A records back.

On your home computer can you visit https://storm.psych0tik.net:8443 in the browser? If so, have you accepted the SSL certificate by clicking on the “I understand the risks” and the “Add exception” buttons? The exception is domain specific, so if you are using a different alias for our GSProxy, such as gsproxy.psych0tik.net, you’ll need to follow that process for the domain you are using.

samurai, I’d like to use your proxy for GS add-on, not as regular proxy. It works fine on my work computer (Win XP) on FF4, but, as you already aware, I experience the problem on my home computer (Win 7 x64) on FF4 as well.

Well, seems I need to look into IRC first and then to make another attept to solve the issue

I’m not entirely sure what your issue is, but based on what debug steps you tried I’m curious if you are using our GSProxy with the GoogleSharing add-on for Firefox or if you’re trying to put our GSProxy into your network configuration as you would a regular HTTP proxy. GoogleSharing proxies require the client to be using the Firefox Add-on (found here.) I’ve tested our proxy under FF4 and haven’t had any issues yet.

If you keep having problems, come find a staffer on the IRC or send a message to our psych0tik-list mailing list and we can help you sort out the problem.

Hi there!!
I’m trying to go to https://storm.psych0tik.net:8443 and my FF 4 keeps on saying “The connection was interrupted” just like here http://icdn.s3.amazonaws.com/2007/05/the-connection-to-wwwgooglecom-was-interrupted-while-the-page-was-loading.png
I tried shutting down my antivirus and checked the connection settings in FF, nothing changed. What could cause it?
