Answer:
There is nothing wrong with the code you tried. Basically, it is telling you that you are unable to connect, which might be a restriction or policy. Try the following:
|
1 2 3 4 |
$req = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create("https://www.google.com") $req.Proxy = [System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy $req.Proxy.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials |
Then run the comment again. It has something to do with the credentials used in windows 10 for the request.
