I'm the "admin" for three different routers in three different homes; a RT-AC56U, a RT-AC66U, and a RT-AC68U which are all running Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66_4 (but the problem occurred with older versions as well). They all run one instance of "privoxy" which acts as a "black hole" for ads on iOS devices (using the same configuration file, except for the "listen-address"). Unfortunately the 68U is often not allowing access to the App Store or iCloud on an iPad Air 2 (running iOS 10.3.2) when using this proxy. After inspecting the privoxy logs I noticed this error:

Unable to take any additional connections: Resource temporarily unavailable. Active threads: 12

This error occurs a lot on the 68U, sometimes on the 56U (last time 2 months ago) and never on the 66U.

What might be wrong here? How can I fix it?

I think privoxy has a config setting that you can increase:
max-client-connections 128
