Using OpenVino with company network proxy

Hello team,

 

I recently installed OpenVino 2021.4.752 using the installation guidelines present in the link.

 

I have made sure that the necessary PATH variables and other software dependencies required for the installation to work are present in my system.

 

However, whenever I try running the demo installation verification script present in the "Getting started guide", I encounter the following network related proxy error on the command prompt :-

Error

 

Since I am using the company VPN, so, I have made sure to update my proxy settings using the following commands on the command prompt before running the OpenVino Demo script :-

set HTTP_PROXY = http://username:password@rb-proxy-in.bosch.com:8080

set HTTPS_PROXY = https://username:password@rb-proxy-in.bosch.com:8080

However, the error still persists. The script for some reason is not able to download the caffe model file and the ".prototxt" file required in order for the Model Optimizer to work.

 

The only workarounds I have tried so far(unsuccessfully though) are :-

 

Downloading the caffe model file and the necessary ".prototxt" file required in order to build the intermediate representation and placing it in the necessary path mentioned in the error statement. However, this yielded the same error as above.

 

I request you all to kindly look into my situation and help me out in troubleshooting it. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

NOTE :- My system requirements also satisfy the minimum requirements required for OpenVino to work.

Hi Shashank288,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us.


Corporate networks have firewalls and other security settings that will prevent the Model Downloader from downloading the necessary models for the demo.

 

We would suggest you disconnect VPN connection and use a commercially available non-proxied connection.

 

On another note, regarding your workaround, please ensure that the .caffemodel and .prototxt files are placed in the following directory "C:\Users\ESA3KOR\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\openvino_models\models\public\squeezenet1.1". Then, comment out the line for downloader.py (line 103) in the demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.bat script to skip downloading the model.

 


Regards,

Hairul
