Hi all,
I’m attempting to connect to 127.0.0.1:8000 through tor browser.
I’m using tails OS version 4.29 (64 bit), with tor browser version 91.8.0esr (64 bit).
steps i’ve followed:
$ python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
$ sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -d localhost -o lo -p tcp --dport 8000 -m owner --uid-owner amnesia -j ACCEPT;
start tor browser and go to about:config and set network. proxy. no_proxies_on to 127.0.0.1:8000
when i go to 127.0.0.1:8000 in the browser, I get “Unable to connect. Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8000.”
however, when I do
$ curl 127.0.0.1:8000
it works just fine.
I’m super confused why this doesn’t work since the no_proxy_on option should let me do this right? Thank you all!
