Dropbox Sync issue: cannot establish secure internet connection

[philohistoria]

After running Chomper, my dropbox cannot sync. Is there is way to get around it?
I am running Ubuntu 18.04

The developer has tried to fix this (#25 and #39). It's really the only deal breaker for me.

@aniketpanjwani Any suggestions for where to look/research for someone wanting to try to fix it?

I stopped using Dropbox, but then zoom and slack weren't working for me either. Good new is I figured out how to fix it! The problem seems to be that all traffic is routed through mitmproxy.

You can add the --ignore-hosts parameter to the mitmdump command in constants.py to have certain sites be treated like normal.

Here's what I added to the end of MITMDUMP_COMMAND:

--ignore-hosts ".*zoom\.us.*" --ignore-hosts ".*slack\.com.*" --ignore-hosts ".*spotify\.com.*" --ignore-hosts ".*syncthing\.net.*"

You should be able to use --ignore-hosts ".*dropbox\.com.*"
