Description

Hello,

I have successfully cross-compiled microsocks on mips and also on arm devices.
On mips devices it works good so far.
But I have a strange issue when I tested on arm devices.
Some sites fail to load (like google.com, yahoo.com) with an error message (reported by proxifier) - Address type not supported.
But some sites load fine (except for elements from google.com domain) - like github.com
What could be the issue because this does not happen on mips devices?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the SOCKS5 failure on ARM and comparing it with the working MIPS behavior; done means identifying a reproducible cause for the “Address type not supported” errors and verifying the affected sites work.
