When using ComfyUI\_windows\_portable, I edit the `run_nvidia_gpu.bat` file to add proxy parameters and listen params. However, when using the desktop version, I don’t know how to set it up anymore. ![微信截图_20241205224240](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/comfyui1/original/1X/3a8400ad44399665122a4290770b6ffcb419d854.jpeg) ---

1. try use TUN mode if you’re using Clash-like proxies. 2. try check ✅System Proxy in your proxy software (and restart ComfyUI) 3. try System Settings \> Network & Internet \> Proxy (and restart ComfyUI) > ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/comfyui1/original/1X/d11c93338667fbbf67c346941438a8fe8d846aee.png) 1. try put this launch command into your .bat file just below the “set http\_proxy=…”, which will launch your comfyui desktop version ```bat start "comfyui" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\ComfyUI.exe" ``` ---

Thx for the suggestion. I tried the 4th method. ```auto :: file name: run_comfyui_desktop.bat set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1080 set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1080 set no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1 start "comfyui" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\ComfyUI.exe" pause ``` And it worked sometimes, but sometimes not work. And it reported some error and I have no idea how to fix it. ![屏幕截图 2024-12-06 233428](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/comfyui1/original/1X/eadbac1d19abdc826c56807f7fe619cab28e190e.png) And nother problem is that when I click restart in the ComfyUI Manager Menu, the proxy parameters do not work. I have to close the comgyui window and double-click to open the run\_comfyui\_desktop.bat file again. When I used the run\_nvidia\_gpu.bat file with the proxy arg, it worked good without any error. The first three methods will make the entire system use the proxy and I can not do in that way for some reasons. Therefore, I only edit the run\_nvidia\_gpu.bat file, add the proxy parameter, and only need comfyui to use the proxy. ---

Does it work now? Those errors seem unrelated to the proxy. ---

```auto :: file name: run_comfyui_desktop.bat set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1080 set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1080 set no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1 start "comfyui" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\ComfyUI.exe" pause ``` the 4th method, it work now on the latest version and there’s no error report without reboot. If I click the restart button in the ComfyUI Manager Menu, the proxy settings are invalid. So I still hope the proxy parameters are available to set as the runtime args in settings menu of the comfyui desktop version. Thx All
