Minemeld Proxy error

otlaP5 — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 14:35:09 GMT

Hi,

I've setup Minemeld to use the corporate proxies based on this thread and I'm still getting this error:

"ConnectTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.dshield.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /block.txt (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f2bee031f10>, 'Connection to www.dshield.org timed out. (connect timeout=20)'))"

The environment setting are below:

ubuntu@minemeld:~$ cat /etc/environment 
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
http_proxy=http://proxy.addr:8080
https_proxy=http://proxy.addr:8080
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.addr:8080
HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.addr:8080

Proxy setting for minemeld:

ubuntu@minemeld:~$ cat /etc/default/minemeld 
https_proxy="http://proxy.addr:8080"
http_proxy="http://proxy.addr:8080"
HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.addr:8080"
HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.addr:8080"

I'm able to download the block.txt file via wget. Are there any other settings for the proxy?

Thanks,

Hi @otlaP5,

the way you configure the OS to make the wget tool use a proxy and the way you configure the Python Runtime to make the requests page (the one MineMeld relies on) use a proxy are different. So getting wget to work in the same hosts wher MineMeld lives doesn't mean everything is configured OK.

Said that, your environment configuration seems OK. Next things I'd investigate would be:

Does the proxy requiere authentication?
Does the proxy enforce SSL Decryption?

Hello xhoms,

I've figure out the solution. Turns out I was running the below two commands to restart minemeld and it wasn't loading the proxy config file correctly.

/etc/init.d/minemeld stop
/etc/init.d/minemeld start

The restart command seems to work fine.

/etc/init.d/minemeld restart

Thanks,
