I'm getting a lot of

error [] clientRequest
      Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH

while using dispatch as an http proxy. I mostly encounter them with YouTube and StackOverflow. YouTube has an exception though, the site load when you access a video page directly.

The command I run:

dispatch start --http  0.0.0.0@8 0.0.0.0@2 -p 1025

Is it safe to assume that the port have something to do with the error?
