Package: qutebrowser
Version: 1.9.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I have to use socks5 proxy (provided by shadowsocks-libev package) to
reach websites outside China. It works really well for years in
this way. My routine is:
1. start the socks5 proxy with the command 'ss-local -v -c config.json';
2. start qutebrowser. In the ~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py file, I
have the following setup:
c.content.proxy = "socks://localhost:1080/"
config.bind('<Ctrl-a><Ctrl-s>', 'config-cycle content.proxy none
socks://localhost:1080', mode='normal')
so that I can switch the proxy on/off conveniently by pressing C-a C-s.
But this morning, I got 'TCP connection timeout' in the 'ss-local -v -c
...' terminal window whenever I tried visiting Google, Youtube, Twitter
with qutebrowser of course.
I'm almost sure it's not shadowsocks to blame because I found the following
facts:
1. I have shadowsocks installed on my android phone. I can watch youtube
video on my phone as always.
2. This morning I tried successfully, on my Debian laptop, watching youtube by
'proxychains
qutebrowser'. (my proxychains uses socks://localhost:1080/ as well)
So I guess there is something wrong with the proxying mechanism inside
qutebrowser.
I did an upgrade yesterday, this maybe relevant. I also did an upgrade
this morning immediately after I found the problem. It helps nothing.
