Boinc asked for a proxy when the connection is to slow and at this time the server is getting hammered by all the new people plus others, so be patient and keep trying.... Sorry, I was posting a solution, not a problem. I had this problem and the solution I implemented in my original post works fine. The reason the proxy request shows up is because the user is not logged into the work URL before hand. This has nothing to do with the speed of the servers. It has to do with authentication. Once the user logs onto the web, then they can open Boinc and the proxy request will not come up. They will be able to get in instantly! I wish my advice could stay on top so users could see it first and get this fixed without having to dredge the problem over and over again.

Solution is quite simple. Do not open up the Boinc manager. Log onto your SETI account on the internet. After and only after you have logged in open Boinc. Now you can connect to the project and the proxy and socs will not show up. Galeon 7 I am a Geek. We surf in the dark web pages no others will enter. We stand on the router and no one may pass.
