In the prior version 0.46.4 I was able to use Chat / Ask mode as it searched via embeddings. Now that the file search requires tool calls, I am unable to as tool calls appear to be blocked by the VPN I need to connect to for work.
This is a network related issue. I can circumvent some of these by turning off HTTP2 but others, like Agent mode and tool calling in Ask mode, get blocked now.
I was trying out Windsurf and everything worked, so there has to be a way to get this to function properly in Cursor.
Also, is there a way to get Cursor to use embeddings search for files in the newer versions? That is the only mode that has worked for me behind the VPN, but now the default search mode appears to be tool calling which fails. Mac OS.
This issue stops me from using Cursor and I will probably cancel if I can’t figure it out in the next couple weeks.
