I have tor running at another host with IP 10.0.0.1. It is accessible by
tor-browser running on 10.0.0.2 via network connection. In TBB 8.0.3, if I
put in `/path/to/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/user.js`
an option
{{{
user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "10.0.0.1");
}}}
it works fine. However, if I put
{{{
user_pref("network.proxy.socks", "myproxy");
}}}
where `myproxy` is added to `/etc/hosts` as `10.0.0.1 myproxy`, tor-
browser cannot connect. Original firefox 60.3.0 (8.0.3 is based on this
version) works fine if proxy is specified as `myproxy`. Is it a feature or
bug? Do we have some workaround for this?
