Hi.
(Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list)
I'm not sure there's a better place for reporting bugs on
whisperback... feel free to forward in case it helps.
I've experienced a situation where I wanted to report a bug on Tails with
whisperback, but tor apparently hadn't connected me well :-/
After a while, whisperback told me it couldn't send the report, with the
"too many values to unpack" message, which ain't exactly end-user
friendly, IMHO.
Here's the output :
$ whisperback
Exception in thread Thread-6:
Traceback (most recent call last):

sock.connect(sa)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/socks.py", line 459, in connect
dest_addr, dest_port = dest_pair
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)
Maybe some better message like : "no network connection could be used"
could be much better, provided it's feasable to intercept the error
condition (maybe that's what is being tried, but somehow fails and leads
to an unexpected traceback ?).
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
