I searched the forum – couldn’t find a solution to this issue.
Bug description
Cursor blocks every prompt with the message:
No VPN, proxy, or automation in use.
How to reproduce
- Launch Cursor desktop app.
- Type any prompt in the sidebar.
- Hit Enter → instant block dialog appears.
Screenshots / recordings
PNG of the pop-up attached.
Environment
- OS Windows 11
- Cursor version 0.50.5
- Network Home Wi-Fi, static IP, no VPN/proxy
Does it stop you from using Cursor?
Yes—hard block; can’t run a single query.
Let me know if you need logs or a live repro session. Thanks!
