This "proxy" popup keeps showing up
« on: June 01, 2016, 08:01:18 AM »
The screenshot is attached. I just use teamviewer with default setting and never tried to set a proxy. So what is it? It shows up for awhile, it closes itself, then after few seconds pop up again, and this keeps happening.

I don't have a proxy and never set up a proxy. Does teamviewer company actually use the proxyus.stealthy or someone hacked me?!

I seriously do not think a legitimate company is going to use a DNS server named "proxyus.stealthy". Instead, I suspect you have been hacked, like the rest of us. You should definitely turn off TeamViewer at the minimum. You should not have it launch automatically on start up. You should go to advanced options and click the option to "deny all incoming connections". You should remove yourself from being included in anyone's account that would allow your computer to be remotely accessed by anyone, anywhere. You need to go through all of your settings one by one to make sure you are as secure as possible. The way I handled it was to completely uninstall TeamViewer. I cannot risk them connecting to me AGAIN and doing what they have done to others who are reporting the hacking. (PayPal, Amazon, etc). You should go to the TeamViewer Facebook page and you will see that there are a whole bunch of people writing in about DNS issues, and all sorts of things. Reports from all over the world are posted there about the TeamViewer service being"down". This is happening right now... as I type this.

I seriously doubt what is happening, even the teamviewer homepage or any page of teamviewer are down. But if I am really hacked, I don't see why that proxyus.stealthy keep pop up except it can hack the program of teamviewer and change what the program does. My password is long and random enough that I doubt anyone can get it by keep trying.

I believe the pop up and the proxy setting in the pop up are all directly from Teamviewer server and it just got hacked so it had abnormal behavior. The popup still came up even I set to no proxy. The setting was in recommended auto mode.

I hope Teamviewer staff can have an answer but look like they don't care their own forum at all.

See if you can access www.teamviewer.com from your browser. The teamViewer servers were down earlier. If you can't access the website then the likely cause is the dns servers are down. That was the problem I ran into earlier. You will just need to wait for them to come back up.

It cannot explain the  proxyus.stealthy part at all.

If you can connect to other websites, but not to teamviewer.com, it is likely an issue with the DNS server. If you are not able to connect to any website, that could be a proxy server issue (could be a number of other issues as well).

The proxyus.stealthy issue could be from something else but you only have noticed it now with the teamviewer issues. I don't have an answer for you with that and I hope you weren't hacked. IF you need to change your settings, I will be glad to give you some instructions for clearing it and provide some additional security settings you can make to prevent it from happening again.

Official staff doesn't even care to answer question like this?

This is NOT official TeamViewer support (although someone from Teamviewer has been here recently, they are just a regular forum user like you and I).
This is a user run forum.

TeamViewer get's its proxy settings from various other programs that you have installed (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox) or from your network/domain settings. So somewhere you have the proxy proxyus.stealthy.co set up. You can probably figure out where from the registry.
The proxy settings aren't used if TeamViewer can connect directly and you didn't force the usage of a proxy, but if there are some connection problems it will try to use any proxy it can find.

Stealthy itself doesn't look like a virus but there's a possibility that it might be used by one.
