>The PS4 and computer in use should be connected to the same internet router i.e. same Local Network.

> Run the Test for your PS4’s internet connection. Note; if the (Obtain IP Address and Internet Connection) were successful, then have it that your PS4 has found the proxy server running on the computer you are using, while the other check can fail, it really doesn’t matter as long as the (Obtain IP Address and Internet Connection) were successful and most importantly, the “PlayStation Network Sign in” has to or must fail.
