Error "Unable to connect to Extender/Carrier" during Web Connections

Symptoms​

"Unable to connect to Extender/Carrier" error shown in the GUI when connecting to web targets.

Solutions​

Ensure your PrivX Carrier is running and configured correctly. You can do this with the following commands on your Carrier machine:
# systemctl status privx-carrier
# systemctl status docker

Restart the services if necessary:
# systemctl restart privx-carrier
# systemctl restart docker

On the Carrier machine, ensure the carrier configuration /opt/privx/etc/carrier-config.toml contains the following:
privx_rdp_proxy_enabled = true
privx_webapps_enabled = true
allow_connect_to_loopback = true
allow_connect_to_local_addresses = true

Also ensure that Extender enabled is enabled under Administration→Settings→RDP Proxy.

Logfiles /var/log/privx/privx-carrier.log on your Carrier machine, and /var/log/messages on PrivX machines may provide additional information about causes.
