I am trying to set up my node so a client on a separate machine on my LAN can browse Freenet through FProxy.
I was able to do this with FCP by changing the 'IP address to bind to' from:
127.0.0.1,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
to
192.168.1.103,127.0.0.1,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
However, when I make the same change to FProxy, I get an error message: "Your configuration changes were applied with the following exceptions: bindTo Could not change FProxy bind address: Protocol family not supported."
But when I enter 'netstat -an' in a command window, I see:
TCP 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:8888 127.0.0.1:3158 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:8888 127.0.0.1:3159 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.1.103:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
However, I cannot in fact connect to FProxy either through the 127.0.0.1 loopback or the 192.168.1.103 LAN address. They seem to make a connection, but the node no longer returns data to the browser:
TCP 192.168.1.103:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 192.168.1.103:8888 192.168.1.103:3160 ESTABLISHED
Since I have lost my interface, I have no choice but to restart Freenet by rebooting. When I do that, everything returns to the way it was.
Is this a bug or a user error?
