Hello!
If I use Powershell, and I do for example: curl google.com, I can see it captured on Fiddler.
But when I use CMD, and I run the same command (Windows 10 CMD has curl command), it doesn't get captured by Fiddler, how can I make it capture CMD?

I'm asking this question to find out why some programs can bypass Fiddler and how I can fix that without changing anything in those apps, there is for example qBitTorrent which basically I think binds itself to one interface so it can bypass Filddler, VPN etc.
There are also games like Dead By Daylight which I can't also capture them because the developers do not want people using Proxy/VPN, and I do not wish to go against their rule, I need to debug problems with their servers for example.

Thanks very much.

Forgot to mention, for CMD, you should put www for CMD to process it: curl www.google.com  
But still doesn't show up in Fiddler.

I'm not sure why it's not picking it up, but you can force curl to go via Fiddler by setting the proxy:


Port 8866 seems to be the default port of Fiddler Everywhere. From memory Fiddler Classic used port 8888.

Thanks very much, that --proxy argument is helpful.
