Maximum Number of Connections Reached
Enuratique opened this issue · comments
With debug logs enabled, everything looks good from the log output. I am authenticated, DNS resolutions to Google are working etc.
When I try to use curl on the node itself (or within python Requests) I get a 503 too many connections reached error:
curl http://ipinfo.io -x http://localhost:8123
Maximum number of open connections reached.
Nothing is using the proxy in code or otherwise, so not sure where the maximum connections are being reached from
EDIT:
Enabling more verbose logging in privoxy's config file, this is the output of the privoxy log file when I try to run that curl command above:

This apparently is caused by using older versions of docker. After much debugging, apparently glibc added a clone3 wrapper for creating new threads that older versions of docker don't know about and the default security policy is to block unknown methods... The quick and dirty method is to tell docker to ignore those and allow unknown calls as a parameter to the docker run command:
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined
That is not a great solution... Better solution is to upgrade to a later version of docker... But for now I am unblocked and it looks like it is working.
