Search not working via proxy in 3.3.4 (Linux only)

[Rainmaker]

I have 3.3.4 on my Mac (El Capitan) and Windows 10 x64 boxes (qBittorrent x64 build). They are set with a SOCKS5 proxy, anonymous mode and 'disable connections not supported by the proxy' is enabled. Search works perfectly, which is great.

I've noticed on OpenSUSE Leap, Fedora 23 and Ubuntu 16.04 (all x64) virtual machines that this same setup refuses to search. They all have qBittorrent 3.3.4 also. Within a second or so of hitting the search button I get 'No results', but disabling the proxy instantly allows search to work again. Initially I suspected the distros move to python 3 but surely if that was the case this would result in a total search failure, not just with a proxy. Any help gratefully received.

Sounds like the proxy failing to authenticate https??!!
I remember an update for qbt fairly recently been changing the search engine to use hardcoded https

/e: here it is: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/4916

/e2: I dont believe you can download through anonymous mode unless you also enable peer connections through proxy, in which case you'll need something paid as public ones will probably disconnect you.

Thanks for the reply. I do have a paid proxy (PIA) as well as AirVPN for more general usage. The settings already allow peer connections via the proxy:



As I said the settings themselves are identical between the Linux and Windows/Mac boxes, but only the Linux boxes refuse to search. I even re-entered the proxy credentials just in case, but no luck.

What version of python is running on the linux boxes?
IIRC you need python 2.7.10+ or a flavour of 3.X

(i dont run the inbuilt search engines personally)

Try checking Enable UPNP/NAT-PNP forwarding if its a VM it probably needs it to forward itself through the vnat.
/e: not 100% sure how anonymous mode handles itself when its been VM'd :X

Can the box actually torrent (connect to peers and upload/download) with your current setup?

/e2: How does it handle rss feeds? Do they work or broken aswell?
