Public bug reported: I just wanted a simple proxy, so I ran tcpwatch-httpproxy -p 10.0.0.19:8080 -s > /dev/null
(On a machine that also has a real IP) Then I started some downloads running from another computer, and later noticed tcpwatch-httpproxy was using 1.6GB of RAM. That might be the full amount of data I transfered through it, with http. ps aux | grep tcpwatch-http peter 24578 2.6 42.2 1749872 1711508 pts/1 S+ 06:59 17:37 python /usr/bin/tcpwatch-httpproxy -p 10.0.0.19:8080 -s I later found tinyproxy, and plan to use that in future, since it's better suited for the task.
