Proxy times out when connecting over LAN

[reeseovine]

I'm having trouble using the proxy over my local network. When I run the command

curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:1080 https://api.ipify.org

from the computer running the container I get the expected result, but if I run

curl --socks5 192.168.0.28:1080 https://api.ipify.org

from that computer or another on the same network it times out after about a minute with this error:

curl: (28) Failed to connect to 192.168.0.28 port 1080: Connection timed out

The port is open but it appears to leave connections hanging when they come through the machine's LAN IP address.

Same issue here, have you figured it out?

@zeyugao nope, but i ended up switching to gluetun instead which does everything i needed it to do!

The problem (at least in my setup) was, the docker network MTU, you can set it inside a compose file (or globally in docker) checkout my fork where I have an example on how to fix it.

Am also having the same issue... Scratching my head for few hours now... Tried the network with lower mtu, but didn't help... Is it working for someone ??

try change the internal ip inside the sockd.conf, you can bind to a ip(0.0.0.0) instead of interface(eth0), i will Provider more info when i got time.

check this Lozy/danted#18 (comment)

(not tested btw)

Hi Koin,
This was indeed the first thing I tried 😊 but did not help.
I continued scratching my head and found a solution. You need to route the external network using iptable inside the container...
I did a fork containing that plus the capacity to manage multiple connexions...
