Answer 1

I also used the brew to install polipo on Mac OS. Same problem as you met.

In fact, you need create the config file. The fail's path is ~/.polipo.

After you start the polipo service(brew services start polipo) Open the link: http://127.0.0.1:8123/polipo/config

This is my config:

socksParentProxy = "127.0.0.1:1086"
socksParentProxy
socksProxyType = socks5
proxyAddress = "::0"        # both IPv4 and IPv6
proxyPort = 8123
