Synchronization failed - network issue because of proxy (AdBlock Plus)

[Ardemius 1]

Hi,

 

Just a post to explain my issue, and the solution found

On my tablet, a galaxy Tab S using Samsung layer over Lollipop 5.0.2, I systematically have a synchronisation issue when uploading data over Wifi.

 

After several tries, I found that this issue was due to AdBlock Plus Androïd application, forcing all network communication to be done through its proxy (on localhost and port 2020 as usual).

When looking at Evernote logs, I found the following errors:

If I desactivate the proxy (direct connexion again), no more issue, the data upload works fine.

 

I also made tries with Evernote on my desktop and Androïd phone (plain Lollipop 5.1), with AdBlock Plus again, and this problem does not exit.

 

Does the issue come from a SSL issue when the data upload goes through a proxy on 5.0.2? I can't be sure.

But, as I think many people still use Lollipop 5.0.2 and AdBlock Plus, I write this post just to give the workaround: if facing the issue in the same configuration as me, just desactivate AdBlock Plus proxy, and EverNote will work well again
