Solving network issues

Use these procedures to:

Configuring your firewall

Add these to your firewall’s list of allowed domains:

  • packages.unity.com
  • download.packages.unity.com
  • upm-cdn.unity.com (or upm-cdn-china.unitychina.cn for locations in China)

This ensures that the Unity Package Manager can access these domain names using HTTPS.

Tip: Refer to your operating system’s help to learn how to add a domain name to the firewall’s safe list.

Configuring your proxy server

When using a proxy server, configure the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables for the Unity Package Manager to use when performing requests against the Unity package registry.

You can set these variables globally (either system or user variables) according to your operating system. Alternatively, you can set them only for the Unity Hub when it launches.

For environments where you are behind a proxy server using a certificate that Package Manager does not recognize, you can configure a custom certificate authority.

Custom certificate authority

In some corporations and institutions, users can only access the internet through a proxy server. Some proxies unpack the HTTPS content and repack it with their own SSL certificate. In some cases, Unity Package Manager’s underlying HTTPS layer rejects these certificates because it does not recognize the certificate authority that emitted them, and treats the connection as a possible man-in-the-middle attack. This means that you can’t use many features in Unity, including the Package Manager, unless you configure additional SSL certificate authorities to allow these certificates.

To configure additional SSL certificate authorities:

  1. Locate the upmconfig.toml global configuration file. If the file does not already exist, create an empty text file.

  2. Create a text file with one or more certificates for custom certificate authorities. The file should consist of one or more trusted certificates in the Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. For example:

  3. Save this file to the same folder as the global configuration file if possible, although Unity supports any location on the file system.

  4. In the global configuration file, add the caFile key and set its value as an absolute file path to your PEM file. Important: When setting Windows paths in TOML files, use forward slashes (/) or double backslashes (\\). Don’t use single backslashes (\) because they’re special characters which mark escape sequences and can cause TOML parsing errors.

    Windows example

    caFile = "C:\\ProgramData\\Unity\\config\\cert.pem"
    

    macOS and Linux example

    caFile = "/etc/cert.pem"
    

Setting environment variables for the Unity Hub

This section provides instructions for creating a command file you can run from a Windows command prompt or a macOS or Linux terminal. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the commands directly into the prompt or terminal window.

Note: Before you run the command file, shut down the Hub completely. If the Hub is already running, the script switches focus to the Hub without relaunching, so it does not apply the changed proxy settings.

Windows

These instructions create a command file on Windows.

The file launches the Hub with the environment variables set. You can either double-click the file, or invoke it from the command prompt. Unity passes these environment variables on to any Unity Editor process launched from the Hub.

  1. Open a text editor such as Notepad.

  2. Enter the following text, replacing proxy-url with the correct proxy server URL and adjusting the Hub install path if needed:

    @echo off
    set HTTP_PROXY=proxy-url
    set HTTPS_PROXY=proxy-url
    start "" "C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\Unity Hub.exe"
    
    

    Note: If there are spaces in the path, you must use double quotes around the path to the program.

  3. Save the file to a location where you can easily find it (such as the Desktop), and make sure the file has the .cmd (for example, launchUnityHub.cmd).

macOS

These instructions create the launchUnityHub.command file on macOS.

The file launches the Hub with the environment variables set. You can either double-click the file, or invoke it from a Bash terminal. Unity passes these environment variables on to any Unity Editor process launched from the Hub.

Note: Double-clicking the command file opens a Terminal window or tab and leaves it open, even after the script finishes. You can change this behavior in the preferences for the Terminal.app.

  1. Open a Terminal window.

  2. Enter the following script, replacing proxy-url with the correct proxy server URL and adjusting the Hub install path if needed:

    echo '#!/bin/bash
    export HTTP_PROXY=proxy-url
    export HTTPS_PROXY=proxy-url
    nohup "/Applications/Unity Hub.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity Hub" &>/dev/null &' > launchUnityHub.command
    chmod +x launchUnityHub.command
    

    Note: If there are spaces in the path, you must use double quotes around the path to the program.

  3. Move the launchUnityHub.command file to a convenient location (for example, the Desktop), if you prefer.
