Hi,
since updating to the latest Docker for Mac Version 2.5.0.0, it appears the the configuration of the socksProxyPort has no effect anymore and no longer starts a local socks proxy on that port to forward traffic into the private docker network. Nothing about this was mentioned in the release notes.
My configuration in ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.docker\settings.json, it should be pretty standard apart from “socksProxyPort” : 8888
This always used to launch a socks proxy on port 8888 that I could use to connect directly to my container ip addresses, now however there’s nothing listening on that port.
