title: Chrome is bypassing the proxy settings on my Google Nexus 5
body: <p>I have a Nexus 5 that I bought directly from Google (in the UK). I've spent a considerable amount of time in the last couple of days trying to get the device to proxy through my laptop (using <a href="http://www.charlesproxy.com/" rel="nofollow">Charles</a>). However, it just won't work. No matter what I do, while trying to access any site through Chrome (the default and only browser on my device), the proxy is ignored.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried proxying using the exact same method with my Nexus 7 device and all works well.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Soft resets</li>
  <li>Clearing the cache on Chrome on the device</li>
  <li>Various combinations of connecting and disconnecting from the wifi network, removing and reinstating the proxy settings</li>
  <li>Followed <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging#virtual-host-mapping" rel="nofollow">these instructions</a> to the letter (and varied it where possible)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It's driving me mad. I have two similar Android devices with identical settings, sat side-by-side and one will play ball, but the other won't.</p>
  
  <p>I've Googled around a lot with no success, I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this? A fix would be greatly appreciated.</p>
