+1 for this. I'm stuck behind a corporate proxy at work and I'm seeing the exact same issue.

For us, I worked around it by editing server/lib/gui/events

case "ping:api:server":
apiUrl = konfig("api_url");
return connect.ensureUrl(apiUrl).then(send)["catch"](function (err) {
  var subErr;
  if (err.length) {
    subErr = err[0];
    err.name = subErr.name || (subErr.code + " " + subErr.address + ":" + subErr.port);
    err.message = subErr.message || (subErr.code + " " + subErr.address + ":" + subErr.port);
  }
  err.apiUrl = apiUrl;
  return sendErr(err);
});

==>

case "ping:api:server":
apiUrl = konfig("api_url");
return connect.ensureUrl(apiUrl).catch(function () { return ''; }).then(send)["catch"](function (err) {
  var subErr;
  if (err.length) {
    subErr = err[0];
    err.name = subErr.name || (subErr.code + " " + subErr.address + ":" + subErr.port);
    err.message = subErr.message || (subErr.code + " " + subErr.address + ":" + subErr.port);
  }
  err.apiUrl = apiUrl;
  return sendErr(err);
});

e.g. you are blocking people behind a corporate proxy in the code that detects whether you are blocked - but if you edit out the ping api server check like this, then I can login completely okay!!
