I assume you must be using an older distribution like Ubuntu Trusty?

Please try with the current beta packages, the next release will support
those older distribution versions and it includes a large number of
fixes for the proxy server:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/952
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1264
Many of those features and fixes are not available in the branch you are
using.

Cheers
