Devolutions Server cannot update when using a proxy

Since the update to .NET 8.0, Devolutions Server can have trouble updating when using a proxy.

The solution is to force the Devolutions Server Console to use a custom proxy configured in a .json file. Follow the steps below to use this method:

1. Navigate to the Devolutions Server Console installation directory, e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Devolutions\Devolutions Server Console.

2. Inside the directory, create a file named appsettings.json, and write your custom proxy configuration in it as per this example:

  {
    "ProxySettings": {
      "Address": "XXX.XXX.X.XX:XXX",
      "BypassOnLocal": true,
      "ProxyCredentialSettingType": "WindowsCredentials",
      "Domain": "",
      "UserName": "",
      "Password": ""
    }
  }

4. Open the Devolutions Server Console, and launch the update process.
