Description Sam Varshavchik 2016-06-25 12:59:52 UTC

Description of problem:

systemd sometimes may start privoxy before the network interfaces are ready, and privoxy will fail to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

privoxy-3.0.24-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:

Fairly reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot

Actual results:

Sometimes, maybe not on every reboot, but eventually privoxy will fail to start, logging:

2016-06-25 08:09:05.406 7fdbdce6c700 Fatal error: can't bind to 192.168.0.1:8000: Cannot assign requested address

in /var/log/privoxy/logfile, referencing whatever IP address privoxy is configured to listen on.

Expected results:

privoxy should always start.

Additional info:

privoxy.service currently specifies:

After=network.target

privoxy.service should be changed to:

Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

See, for example, dhcpd.service, ntpdate.service, and others.

network.target only gives you the IP stack, after it's configured. The network interfaces aren't configured. It's off to the races now, to see which can happen first: privoxy starting up, or the network interfaces fully configured and open for business.

Seems to be that privoxy is more likely to lose the race in F24.
