Connection failure in Socks proxy

Platform
1

When whole the system or GNOME apps are tunneled in a Socks proxy, the apps do not connect and they fail! I tested other apps, but this problem only exists for GNOME apps, like GNOME Web, Tuba, NewsFlash and …
I do not know where should I report the problem.

Please always specify distro version / GNOME version.

I do not know where should I report the problem.

It’s handled by GIO as shown below.

$ ls -1 glib-git/gio | grep socks
gsocks4aproxy.c
gsocks4aproxy.h
gsocks4proxy.c
gsocks4proxy.h
gsocks5proxy.c
gsocks5proxy.h

Also, it would help if you can explain what you’ve tried.

Does it happen to flatpak apps / non-flaptak apps / both?

I use Arch and I have tested on GNOME 47 and 48.
Now I tested flatpak. I seems there is no problem in flatpaks. It is only for GNOME apps which are installed from Arch’s repos.

Probably needs to be debugged more first. The GLib issue tracker is usually only a good place if you already understand what is going wrong.

Can you suggest steps to debug?

I found the problem. I was set a wrong port for proxies :grin:
