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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the EHOSTUNREACH error in dispatch proxy. Trace the network request flow to see where the unreachable host occurs. Check if the issue is related to DNS resolution or network interface binding. Look at how the proxy handles connections to different hosts, and why YouTube works partially.
