Package manager in Visual Studio 2015 “407 (Proxy Authentication Required)”

Question

I understand this is an often asked question, however after days of research I\'ve not found an answer to this particular problem.

I have a new ASP.NE

Answer 1

I had to modify the 32 bit machine.config (assumption being VS runs in 32 bit) to add the section but omitting anything within the tag:

According to MSDN:

If the defaultProxy element is empty, the proxy settings from Internet Explorer will be used.

This is perfect for me as every other application on my machine works - including IE.

manchine.config location (Win 7): %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config

Note

I resolved this thanks to @user3063127 pointing me in the right direction (you have an upvote). As far as I can tell this only affects package restore on DNX projects and may well be fixed when RC2 is released.
