Hello, Got unexpected behavior when trying to run bitcoind with -proxy setting. -proxy is used to connect to SOCKS5 proxy which is able to access some internal network. bitcoind is started with -noconnect option and network activity is absent (as it should be).
Then I command bitcoin-cli to connect to node with address 10.x.y.z with the command bitcoin-cli addnode 10.x.y.z add Expected behavior is for bitcoind to initiate connection through proxy. Actual behavior is bitcoind trying to connect without using proxy. In the code: CConnman::ConnectNode calls GetProxy and GetProxy returns false because CNetAddr::GetNetwork returns NET_UNROUTABLE. My take is this is unexpected behavior at minimum and should be documented. Better way is to introduce another option just for the unroutable addresses: - connect locally (for compatibility reasons, default); - connect thru proxy; - don't connect to unroutable addresses. -- Anton Shevchenko _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
