One Simple Trick to Fix Codex Desktop Reconnecting 5 Times

1scutil --proxy

1HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:6152
2HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:6152

1Help me fix the issue where Codex Desktop keeps Reconnecting.

3Please locate the proxy port and proxy protocol currently being used on my machine, then create or update ~/.codex/.env and write the following proxy configuration. Do not hardcode the port; please replace it with the actual port. If the file already exists, keep other configurations.

5HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:<HTTP or mixed port>"
6HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:<HTTP or mixed port>"

8After writing, check if the configuration is correct and tell me how I need to restart Codex Desktop.
