Open Port Proxy Issues #579
Description
Tinyproxy version
latest available through APT
Issue
I am trying to use my tinyproxy server through an open router port.
- On the local network connecting using the machine's local IP, the proxy works completely fine.
- Using the public IP, the proxy does not connect at all. Opening it in the browser causes it to load forever, and there is no connections logged anywhere.
System
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Commands
~$ tinyproxy -c /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf -d
