**New bug in Tor browser, HTTP proxy not working. When you use Tor’s HTTP proxy for other programs, your traffic does not pass through Tor. Proxy socks has no problems and only port 8218 http has a problem.**

Hello,

if you report an issue, it would help if you name the operating system, operating system version, Tor Browser version and steps how to reproduce it.

Is there a line like this one in the logs?

`Opening HTTP tunnel listener on 127.0.0.1:8218`

those low ports sometimes are blocked by firewalls; did you try anothers ports above 10000 ?

Does the tor team have a solution to solve this problem in a future version?
