Background
A user wants to run both the server and the client on the same computer, using different local ports, and then configure a browser / proxy tool to connect to the local client.
Observed behavior
- Initial attempts triggered protocol parsing errors on the server side
- Historical comments show that the setup can work, but the required
recv mode and proxy-tool configuration were not documented clearly
Expected behavior
- Running client and server on the same machine should be supported as long as they listen on different ports
- The required startup commands and proxy configuration should be documented clearly
Suggested follow-up
- Add a README example for same-machine deployment
- Clarify when to use
-recv http vs -recv socks5
- Add a minimal verification example with browser / proxy-tool settings
Related context
- Historical workaround in comments used
-recv socks5
- Follow-up docs work is still tracked in README TODO
