Additional context

I added proxy pac file link under the Proxy tab but it doesn't seem to use it in this process

Testing on my machine by setting some unreachable proxies (http://127.1.1.1 and https://127.1.1.1), I can see that the proxy settings are correctly passed to the podman process, as the command podman machine init process fails with the error:

Looking up Podman Machine image at quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.0 to create VM

Error: pinging container registry quay.io: Get "http://quay.io/v2/": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp 127.1.1.1:80: i/o timeout

@OZZlE could you please test this command from a terminal, with the HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY environment variables set with your proxy settings, to check if the error really comes from the podman cli:

podman machine init

Tried to replicate on my Win machine by setting Fiddler to act as the main proxy that intercepts all calls and Desktop seems to respect it correctly. If the proxy is set fine, it works. If it is broken Desktop displays the expected error. E.g.

@OZZlE It seems to me that the proxy of your company is blocking all HEAD HTTP requests, but podman machine command uses this kind of request for installing a new machine (https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/pkg/machine/wsl/fedora.go#L62)

usage of the airgapped binary might be a workaround as the machine file is inside the desktop binary

I'm closing this issue. @OZZlE feel free to re-open it if the propositions in the issues are not fixing the issue on your side
