Hi All,
Came across privoxy and wanted to test it out so I installed it
sudo apt-get install privoxy
And configured my browser to use the proxy at
127.0.0.1 port 8118
I keep getting the error: "The proxy server is refusing connections"
I checked the privoxy config file and the log file. Log file's
empty and
the config file has a line:
listen-address localhost:8118
Would anyone have pointers on how to solve this?
Regards,
Kailash
Are you sure that privoxy is running?
Here's the output from ps.
$ps -ax | grep privoxy
1601 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/privoxy --pidfile
/var/run/privoxy.pid --user privoxy /etc/privoxy/config
So, looks like it is and it's using the correct config file.
Thanks,
Kailash
Yes, it does. Does "localhost" resolve to 127.0.0.1 correctly? I would
be surprised if it did not, but it's worth checking.
$ ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.059 ms
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.050 ms
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.055 ms
I wonder if it's something in the config file, but I couldn't figure
it out.
Turns out that Liam was correct about the localhost issue. privoxy was
listening on the ipv6 localhost and not the ipv4.
A search on privoxy.org's mailing list resolved this:
http://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/mailman/message/30642470/
$sudo netstat -tunlp
tcp6 0 0 ::1:8118 :::* LISTEN 1601/privoxy
Went into /etc/privoxy/config and changed
listen-address localhost:8118
to
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
And now the issue's resolved.
